Manager - Software Engineering at Child Growth Monitor · Remote only · 8 - 15 years · ₹15L - ₹15L / yr · Raised funding · Remote only · Posted 10 Nov 2022
About Us
Welthungerhilfe is an international aid agency headquartered in Germany with its vision for “Zero Hunger by 2030”, the second sustainable development goal set by the UN. It has thousands of programs fighting hunger in more than 30 countries. Welthungerhilfe (https://www.welthungerhilfe.org/">https://www.welthungerhilfe.org) (https://www.childgrowthmonitor.org/">https://www.childgrowthmonitor.org).
Child Growth Monitor (CGM) is Welthungerhilfe’s digital innovation project leveraging AI to fight child malnutrition. Around 200 million children around the world are suffering from malnutrition. Malnutrition contributes to one-third of the deaths of children under the age of five. In the fight against malnutrition, detection is the first important step, but this is not an easy task: Measuring children with traditional methods is still a complex, slow, and expensive task, frequently resulting in poor data and wrong assessments of the child’s health. Early detection of malnutrition becomes the key to initiating treatment, minimizing the risk of complications, and saving lives by reducing the chances of death to a great extent.
Our solution to measure children replaces hardware (bulky measuring boards and physical scales) with off-the-shelf cell phones and AI. CGM uses augmented reality-enabled smartphones to record 3D scans of children. Artificial Intelligence is used to predict their height, weight, and middle upper-arm circumference needed to know the nutritional status of the children.
This role concerns a full-time assignment (Consultant role) working for Welthungerhilfe’s CGM project. This will convert to Full-time employment (payroll) in 1st quarter of 2023 latest. We are in the process of setting up CGM as a registered social business in India and Germany.

- Experience integrating Large Language Models (LLMs), Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and AI agents into enterprise applications will be a strong advantage.
- Understand the practical considerations of deploying AI in production, including data security, reliability, latency, cost, and evaluation.
- Encourage responsible adoption of AI coding tools such as Claude Code while ensuring engineers retain strong fundamentals, understand the code they ship, and take ownership of its quality.
4. Team & Execution Management
- Take ownership of engineering priorities, sprint execution, resource allocation, and delivery commitments.
- Build a culture of accountability, ownership, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
- Ensure the team can independently diagnose and resolve technical problems rather than relying excessively on external tools or generated code.
- Collaborate with leadership to align engineering priorities with customer commitments, product roadmaps, and business objectives.
Required Technical Skills:
- Strong hands-on experience with Node.js, Express.js, React, MySQL, Python, and AWS.
- Solid understanding of backend architecture, REST APIs, database design, system integrations, and cloud-based deployments.
- Experience building, maintaining, and scaling production-grade mobile and web applications.
- Strong debugging, code review, system design, and performance optimization skills.
- Familiarity with software development lifecycle practices, version control, automated testing, CI/CD, and production monitoring.
- Ability to make independent technical decisions and take ownership of issues from identification through resolution.
Experience & Qualifications:
- 8–10 years of relevant software engineering experience, with demonstrated progression into technical leadership.
- Prior experience leading a team of junior and mid-level engineers.
- Experience in a B2B SaaS company or an enterprise technology environment is strongly preferred.
- Experience managing enterprise client implementations, integrations, and production deployments.
- B.Tech / B.E. in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related engineering discipline, preferably from a Tier-1 engineering college.
What We Are Looking For:
We are looking for a seasoned engineering professional who has experience handling multiple clients, varied integration requirements, competing priorities, and production issues.
You must be flexible to coordinate across time zones and work outside standard business hours when client implementations or critical releases require it.
This role offers the opportunity to work closely with the Founder, influence the product and architecture decisions, lead a compact engineering team, and directly shape how our technology scales across enterprise customers in not just domestic but international markets.
