Founding Chief Technology Officer, ImpactOS
About The Position
Social Impact (SI) is developing an AI-supported, predictive platform for end-to-end social program management. ImpactOS is an entirely new approach to social program design and management, moving from static and reactive to predictive and proactive. We are seeking a founding CTO to design and build this platform using modern AI-native development workflows. This is an exciting opportunity to dramatically improve the results of social programs globally, impacting actors from government and multilateral agencies to program implementers. We are not looking for someone to maintain systems. We want someone excited about helping us build something entirely new and transformative. You will design and build the technical architecture for a predictive public-sector platform, integrating: · Structured program logic models · Probabilistic forecasting engines · Risk propagation models · Scheduling risk integration · Data visualization layers · Enterprise system integrations · AI-assisted modeling tools You will work directly with the founder in design, early partner and client engagements, and shaping the technical roadmap from MVP to scale. Our team brings unrivaled understanding of and experience advising federal agencies, multilaterals, and governments globally on program design, monitoring, and evaluation, including on using technology to improve results. We need you to help us shape the vision and bring it to life from the technical perspective.
