Why Work on our Team
VectorCam is at a pivotal moment. In only three years, our team has moved from early concept to a completed randomized controlled trial, Gates Foundation support, and multi-country implementation starting across Africa, Latin America, and India. We have proven that it is possible to replace decades-old manual surveillance with fast, digital, AI-enabled tools that give governments a clearer view of their disease landscape.
You will join a team that believes global health systems can be redesigned through thoughtful engineering and strong partnerships. Many countries still rely on fragmented vector surveillance systems that slow decision-making and limit impact. We are building a new foundation that empowers frontline health workers, strengthens national programs, and creates a world where vector-borne diseases are fought with modern tools rather than outdated processes.
Here, your work will matter immediately. A feature you design may change how a Ministry of Health allocates resources. A workflow you build may determine how fast an outbreak signal is detected. You will collaborate with government partners, researchers, and engineers who bring intense ambition and purpose to this mission. If you want to be part of a team that is rewriting what is possible in global public health, this is the right place to grow.
