Life is short. We believe work should be meaningful, inspiring, and fun.
Cutting-edge tech alone doesn't cut it. To reach the most vulnerable populations in the harshest environments, solutions need to be built for context and appropriate for purpose.
Among many, here are a few teasers. Do we have your attention?
Behind the diverse backgrounds, interests, and perspectives our team brings to work, we hold a shared purpose. We believe that every person counts—no matter the place or circumstances they were born into. So we fight to improve global development through better tools, better technology, and better systems. It’s incredibly challenging, but real lives are on the line. Join us, and do work that really matters.
Because at Simprints, it is. Self-directed learning objectives, external mentors, and regular one-on-one feedback keep continual learning at the heart of our talent strategy. And we put our money where our mouth is: all team members receive stipends on top of their annual salary to use for any courses, trips, or projects that power professional (and personal!) development. Join us, and you will grow faster than at almost any other job.
Simprints provides opportunities to expand and grow within the organisation. As a rapidly-scaling nonprofit, we need our team members to proactively take on new roles and responsibilities as they arise. Are you eager to contribute to our strategy in tech, business, operations, and beyond? Are you looking to lead a team of your own? We're the right place for you.
Hate pointless rules and bucreaucracy? Want the freedom to work autonomously? At Simprints we don't dictate hours, and this is no 9-to-5 job. We work incredibly hard, and trust each other to be responsible with how, where, and when. In the end, we care about quality results. Join a fast-paced "scrum" culture with unlimited paid time off and no fixed hours. Throw in a wellness budget to cover your self-care needs, and you can build the work day that works for you.
We set ambitious quarterly targets, and then let you and your team decide how to achieve them. That's it. No deducting hours at the dentist from a limited PTO allotment, no bending over backwards to maximise time spent with family and friends—at Simprints, we're (mostly) responsible adults. We trust you to know when and how to recharge.
We work on the frontlines of international development. With a growing global network of partners, our work takes us from the dusty savannahs of Zambia to the narrow slums of Dhaka, or the pristine beaches of Zanzibar to the political corridors of Washington D.C. No assignment or trip is ever quite the same. And we make sure that every role—from software engineer to strategic partnerships lead—gets a chance to travel with the team and see our impact in person.
We also very occasionally consider unsolicited applications for other roles. Our selection process includes technical tests, remote and in-person interviews, and ‘trial days’ spent with your potential future team (don't worry, we're nice people).
We are looking for a resourceful Product Owner to join our growing team. You need to be sharp, collaborative, a quick learner, and able to thrive in a startup environment. You should have a solid grasp on engineering, data analytics and strategy, and able to contribute to high-quality products that will impact millions of beneficiaries. Past experience with directing product lifecycles and the genuine desire to develop world-class skills are a must.
We are looking for a Director of Finance with outstanding analytical skills to drive our financial strategy and deliver insights that enable us to grow our global impact.

We are looking for a Talent Manager who is passionate about building and developing exceptional teams, and with the experience and ambition to help drive forward the talent operations across Simprints.

The Head of Impact Partnerships is a critical hire to achieve our ambitious goals. You will report directly to the COO and will focus on increasing our reach and impact with partners - NGOs, social enterprises, and governments. You will spend about 30% of your time traveling. From one day to the next, you might be in Washington D.C. landing contracts for some of the biggest international development programmes in the world, mentoring an up and coming Impact Partnerships Manager through their first deal in Kenya, or defining and iterating on our commercial strategy and business models for East Africa.
We are looking for a Senior Impact Partnerships Manager who can help us increase our portfolio of impact partners around the world - NGOs, social enterprises, and governments. You are confident, passionate, reliable, deeply collaborative, a quick learner, and thrive in a fast-paced, startup environment. From one day to the next you might be scoping a cash transfer project for refugees across East Africa or negotiating the final terms of a partnership for a nation-wide project with a Ministry of Health.
We are looking for a Development and Grants Manager who can help us increase our portfolio of strategic partners around the world - institutional funders, private foundations, and corporate CSRs. You are confident, passionate, reliable, deeply collaborative, and a quick learner. From one day to the next you might be working with the team to write a robust poverty reduction proposal for £2M or supporting a deployment in Malawi to gain first-hand experience of our impact.
We are looking for a Privacy & Data Security Manager to spearhead our strategic and innovative leadership in this area. We are in a unique situation: a nonprofit, impact driven company that is processing millions of highly sensitive biometric records in some of the world's harshest settings. Privacy doesn't get more challenging (and exciting) than this!
We are looking for Software Engineers with a focus in Android development to join our growing tech team. You will be responsible for the design, development and maintenance of Simprints applications and their integration with back-end services.

Therefore, commitment to collaborative problem solving, robust design, and quality product is essential.
We are looking for Software Engineers with a focus in backend development to join our growing tech team. Among many things, you will architect, design, develop, deploy and operate services that support millions of beneficiaries; leverage best practices in continuous integration and delivery; and help drive optimisation, testing, and tooling to improve data and systems quality.
