About the Role:
PxD is looking for a technically strong engineering leader to own the delivery and development of our technology platforms. This is a hands-on role requiring both technical leadership and people management.
Our primary platform, Paddy, is a two-way communications system built on Erlang that delivers agricultural advisory to millions of smallholder farmers via SMS, IVR, and chat. We are also building PaddyAI, a generative AI assistant that enables agronomists to produce hyper-localised, personalised advisory content at scale.
The technology function itself is still taking shape — meaning the person in this role will have genuine influence over architecture decisions, team capability, and ways of working. There is real scope to build something meaningful here. The systems we create serve millions of smallholder farmers, and we think that matters.
In this role, you will work closely with Program and Research teams to design, build, and scale reliable technology solutions that advance our organisational goals. You will lead a team of seven, setting high standards and creating the conditions for them to do their best work.

About PxD:
PxD is a global non-profit that harnesses the power of technology, data science, and behavioral economics to provide targeted information to farmers in low and middle-income countries. Providing the right information to the right people in the right way and at the right time increases incomes, protects the environment, and improves well-being. We are evidence-based: we test our interventions with randomized controlled trials to prove our impact and cost-effectiveness, to simultaneously learn from and improve our service, and to demonstrate our value to funders and partners. There are few programmes in international development that are as demonstrably cost-effective as ours.
