Senior System Developer – Data Management Project Jobs in Ethiopia

The Ethiopian Agricultural Transformation Agency (ATA) is a strategy and delivery oriented government agency created to help accelerate the growth and transformation of the country’s agriculture sector.

The ATA envisions that, by 2025, smallholder farmers are commercialized with greater incomes, inclusiveness, resilience and sustainability, contributing to Ethiopia’s achievement of middle-income country status.

The agency focuses on two primary national approaches to catalyze agricultural transformation.

First, we support the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Resources (MoALR), its affiliate institutions, and other partners to identify and address systemic bottlenecks within an Agricultural Transformation Agenda.

Second, we support Regional Governments to accelerate development of high-priority commodity value chains in clearly defined geographic clusters, through the Agricultural Commercialization Clusters (ACC) Initiative.

Our major activities include conducting strategic and analytical studies, providing technical implementation support, coordinating platforms to better integrate partners and projects, and designing and directly leading a number of implementation projects.

Our headquarters are in Addis Ababa, and we have regional offices in Amhara, Oromia, SNNP, and Tigray regional offices, allowing us to work closely with a wide range of public, private and development sector partners across the country.

Our Culture

ATA provides evidence-based project performance reports to key stakeholders which involves large-scale data collection and analysis.

However, so far the data collection, storage and analysis effort lacks systems that harmonize the data collection, storage and analysis work across the agency.

To this end the ATA will develop and pilot a new solution to collect, store and visualize project data.

The senior system developer will work in collaboration with the team leader and other members of data management project, collect requirement with key stakeholders, and propose modern and effective data collection, storage and visualization solutions

He/She will work closely with a Junior Developer and ATA’s IT technical team as required to lead the technical design, implementation, testing, documentation and support of the solution, including customization of online open-source software, database structuring and management, and implementing this on ATA’s local infrastructure as applicable.

This role will report directly to the Data Management Project team leader. Initially the system developer will be responsible for developing a Minimum Viable Product and then work with the rest of the Data Enhancement project team to ensure this solution is tested and iterated in pilot woredas based on user feedback.
