Type : Full-time contractor (hours negotiable) Location : Remote - Africa/Europe time zones (strong preference for candidates based in Africa) OpenFn is the digital public good for public service automation & AI orchestration. Our platform automates data exchange and digital workflows so that governments and NGOs can deliver public services more efficiently, achieve interoperability across fragmented systems, and scale critical public services across health, humanitarian, and government programs. Our team, Open Function Group , the primary steward of this open-source platform, is a lean, fully-remote team of integration specialists, solution architects, and implementation consultants working across 40+ countries.

Secondarily, you will support and optimize cloud-hosted OpenFn deployments, primarily on GCP and AWS, and occasionally Azure , working with our services team to ensure those environments are well-configured, cost-efficient, and production-ready. This is a hands-on role. You will work directly with government IT counterparts, guide our implementation engineers on infrastructure decisions, and build the internal standa
