Consultant, Web Dashboard Developer-Government Data Integration (EAII Advisors)

Overview

Build and harden a lightweight, org-owned reporting stack for the India Safe Water – Inline Chlorination (ISW–ILC) programme, using standalone HTML/CSS/JavaScript dashboards fed by backend APIs that consume government data and public Google Sheets CSV exports.

What you'll do

• Design and build robust backend APIs (REST/JSON) that securely consume, validate, and transform data from government systems (JJM–IMIS, AP Mana Mitra, RWSS) and public Google Sheets CSV exports.
• Develop data pipelines and ETL processes to standardize government data feeds into a consistent JSON schema accessible to multiple frontend clients.
• Implement authentication, data validation, error handling, and rate limiting for production-grade API reliability.
• Architect a configuration layer and data model enabling new indicators, sites, and districts to be added without backend code changes.
• Conduct a source/API audit and define a data contract and JSON schema during the discovery phase.
• Work with government IT teams to establish secure, reliable data access and define API SLAs.
• Prepare API documentation, deployment guides, and a maintenance runbook for Program Operations.
• Present fortnightly demos against agreed milestones and hand over all code and documentation to EAII at the end of the engagement.

What you'll need

• Bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science, IT/data systems, or a related field.
• 4+ years of backend development experience using a modern framework (Python/Django, Node.js/Express, Java/Spring, or equivalent).
• Strong experience designing and building REST/JSON APIs with proper authentication, error handling, and rate limiting.
• Expertise in data pipelines, ETL processes, and database design (SQL and/or NoSQL).
• Proficiency with version control (Git), CI/CD practices, and production deployment.
• Experience consuming and integrating third-party APIs and CSV data feeds.
• Strong problem-solving and debugging skills in distributed data systems.
• Willingness to travel up to 40% of the time across Andhra Pradesh and other states as required.
