Role Description
We are seeking a Junior Developer passionate about AI integration, embedded systems, and full-stack development.
You will work directly with the CTO and senior engineers to:
- Build, deploy, and test small-scale AI services on NVIDIA Jetson devices and microcontrollers (ESP32, ESPIDF, CUDA, C++).
- Develop APIs, dashboards, and user interfaces for edge-AI products.
- Integrate computer-vision and speech models for Zambia-centric use cases (education, banking, health, security).
This role is ideal for a recent graduate or early-career developer eager to work on real hardware, real data, and real national-impact projects.
Key Responsibilities
- Assist in developing Python-based AI inference and REST API services.
- Build front-end dashboards (React/Next.js or Flutter) for product monitoring.
- Work with TensorRT/ONNX models and optimize for Jetson hardware.
- Contribute to firmware and microcontroller code (ESP-IDF/C++/Python).
- Manage data-ingestion pipelines (OCR, FAISS, or SQL Lite).
- Support software documentation, testing, and deployment to clients.
- Collaborate on research and field pilots across sectors (education, finance, healthcare, smart city).
Required Skills & Qualifications
- Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
- Solid foundation in Python and at least one of: C/C++, JavaScript, or TypeScript.
- Basic knowledge of machine-learning frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, ONNX).
- Familiarity with APIs, databases (SQLite/PostgreSQL), and Git version control.
- Curiosity about IoT hardware (Raspberry Pi, ESP32, STM32) or electronics.
- Strong problem-solving and willingness to learn fast.
Nice-to-Have / Preferred
- Experience with Jetson Nano / AGX Xavier / TensorRT deployment.
- Understanding of computer vision (YOLO, OpenCV) or speech models (Vosk, Piper).
- Knowledge of Zambian digital-finance or education systems.
- Familiarity with React, Next.js, Flask, FastAPI, or Node.js.
- Passion for open-source, innovation, and national development.
What We Offer
- Hands-on mentorship from senior engineers.
- Exposure to national-level innovation projects.
- Opportunity to publish or present technical work.
- Competitive entry-level salary + growth path.
- Certificate of innovation participation after 6 months.
- Assist in developing Python-based AI inference and REST API services.
- Build front-end dashboards (React/Next.js or Flutter) for product monitoring.
- Work with TensorRT/ONNX models and optimize for Jetson hardware.
