About the role

This role sits in Peepul's Data & Technology team. You'll work across our programs in Delhi and MP, building the dashboards, data pipelines, and digital tools that help our teams make better decisions and deliver better programs.

In practice, that means writing SQL to clean and transform data, building dashboards that program leads actually use, and shipping tools — an assessment generator, a sampling app, a teacher-facing WhatsApp chatbot — that solve real problems in real schools. You'll work closely with MEL and program teams to understand what's needed, and then go build it.

This isn't a role where you'll be handed a spec and asked to execute. You'll be involved from problem definition to deployment, and the things you build will be used by teachers and program staff in the field.

Responsibilities would include (but not limited to):

Dashboards & Data Systems

- Work with MEL and program teams to understand their reporting needs and translate them into clean, reliable dashboards.

- Write and optimise SQL queries for data transformation, reporting,



and analysis.

- Support data ingestion, cleaning, validation, and modelling across programs.

- Help maintain and improve analytics infrastructure built on BigQuery, dbt, Apache Superset, and Dalgo.

- Document data flows and lineage so the systems we build are maintainable over time.

Program Technology Tools

Some of the projects you might work on:

- AI-powered assessment generator — using LLMs and question banks to produce customised assessments at scale.

- Student sampling app — for statistically sound sampling in field assessments and school visits.

- Teacher-facing WhatsApp chatbot — coaching nudges, resources, and feedback loops delivered via WhatsApp.

- Formative feedback tools — helping teachers track student progress in real time.

- Workflow automation — reducing manual overhead for program and operations teams.

Working Across Teams

- Collaborate with MEL, Programs, and Operations to define problems before jumping to solutions.

- Own the full lifecycle of what you build — from scoping and development through testing, iteration, and deployment.

- Stay curious about what's new — AI APIs, automation tools, edtech innovations — and bring relevant ideas back to the team.

- Document your work and help build shared knowledge across the technology function.

Qualifications and Role Requirements:

At Peepul, we seek talented professionals passionate about driving educational transformation and making a positive impact. We are looking for individuals who possess the following qualifications and meet the role requirements:

- Work Experience: We value both professional and personal experience. Candidates with 1-3 years of experience in software development, data engineering, analytics, or a closely related technical role

- Essential Skills

> - Strong Python skills — comfortable writing clean, maintainable code, not just one-off scripts.
