Full-Stack Developer (Remote, Unpaid)

About The Aroha Project The Aroha Project is an open, impact-driven initiative dedicated to transforming how health occurrence and disease distribution data are explored, analysed, and understood. Our mission is to bridge the gap between complex public health datasets and meaningful insights by building an intelligent, interactive platform that combines geospatial visualisation, epidemiological analytics, and artificial intelligence.

The platform enables users to visualise disease trends through dynamic maps, explore health statistics across regions, identify patterns in disease occurrence, and interact with an AI-powered chatbot that can answer public health and epidemiology-related queries. By integrating modern web technologies with AI, we aim to make health information more accessible to students, researchers, healthcare professionals, policymakers, and the general public.

As a Full-Stack Developer, you will play a key role in designing, developing, and maintaining the platform's core components. You will work closely with AI engineers, data engineers, designers, and other developers to build scalable, secure, and user-friendly applications that can support large datasets and advanced AI-powered features.

- Designing and managing relational and NoSQL databases while ensuring data integrity, performance, and scalability.
- Integrating geospatial data visualisation components using mapping libraries and interactive dashboards.
- Collaborating with AI engineers to integrate Large Language Models (LLMs), Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines,



and AI-powered chatbot functionality into the platform.
- Optimising application performance, database queries, API response times, and overall system efficiency.
- Implementing authentication, authorisation, and security best practices to ensure reliable and secure access to the platform.
- Writing clean, maintainable, and well-documented code following industry best practices.
- Participating in code reviews, technical discussions, and architectural decisions to continuously improve the platform.
- Troubleshooting bugs, resolving production issues, and contributing to ongoing feature enhancements.
- Working collaboratively with a distributed team using Git-based development workflows.

Required Qualifications

We're looking for candidates who have:

- Strong proficiency in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and TypeScript.
