About Us

APLYD helps governments, multilateral institutions, development finance institutions and foundations use AI in public systems. Most public-sector AI stops at the pilot. Our work is getting it into everyday service delivery and keeping it running once we leave.

Athena Infonomics has done this work for years. In 2026 we set it up as its own company. We cover strategy and readiness, field data and last-mile reach, design and build, evaluation and audit, and scale and production.

The Role

You build and ship the services a government platform runs on, and you train the models that sit inside them. You take a defined problem, design the piece, get the data into shape,



build it, put it into production and keep it working. Three seats are open across two rural digital infrastructure programmes.

Most of what we build is not a model. Registries, credential and wallet layers, group financial records, synchronisation for intermittent connectivity, offline-first clients and the migrations that keep them alive are the bulk of the work, and they have to be engineered properly before any model on top of them is worth anything.

We do not staff a specialist for each component. Everyone here writes production software and everyone here builds models; the levels are separated by the scope a person carries rather than by the technology they work on.

Core Job Responsibilities

Own services and features end to end: design, data model, build, test, deploy and monitor.
Write the APIs and integrations that connect what we build to the systems the institution already runs, and keep them
