DHIS2 - free & OS health data system | Remote Europe/Africa/Asia OR Oslo, Norway | REMOTE | Multiple Positions

We are a non-profit based at the University of Oslo building the world's largest health information management system. It is used by national governments, at health facilities, and by large international organizations in more than 100 countries. When COVID hit, dozens of countries quickly scaled DHIS2 to do contact tracing, collect statistics, and monitor vaccination campaigns at population scale. Our "bottom line" is exclusively doing what's right for the people who use our software every day in every corner of the world to collect and analyze data and then use it to make positive change. The technical challenges we work on are novel, exciting, and don't show any sign of slowing down.

Learn about the massive impact of this project at dhis2.org/in-action

We are a remote-first team of about 70 working from all over the world (we do require timezone overlap with Oslo). We offer 5 weeks of holiday, opportunities to travel, and the chance to work with passionate people solving real problems. We are building a diverse and inclusive working environment and have published a diversity pledge here - https://dhis2.org/careers/software/diversity - we particularly encourage people from countries where DHIS2 is used extensively to apply.

Some open positions currently include UX Design Engineer, Mobile QA, GIS Specialist, and a Postgres performance specialist (to be posted shortly). If you don't see a role that fits but are passionate about the project keep an eye out as we will be opening more roles soon.


Thank you for your work at Data Lab! I've been following WRI and GFW for a while and it's important stuff.

Also working in a global public-good project [0] I strongly resemble your challenges - uncertain funding, difficulty competing for top tech talent, and relatively small teams for huge projects. But so much more importantly the amazing benefits of working on something meaningful resonate with me. The outsized positive impact each of my team members can make on the world is a pleasure to be a part of every day, despite the challenges.

Keep up the good work!
