The context:  Across the developing world, more children than ever are in school – but they are not learning. A recent study estimated that less than 1% of school children in Sub-Saharan Africa attend a school where the teaching meets basic standards of quality. At Rising Academies, we’re changing that, and we want your help. Our mission is to create the best schools and the most powerful teaching and learning tools for the people that need it most. We’re one of the fastest-growing quality-focused education companies in Africa, and a Certified B Corp®.  About us:  Founded in Sierra Leone in 2014, we’ve spent over a decade crafting a unique blend of high-tech and low-tech learning solutions proven to dramatically improve student outcomes that elevate teaching quality at scale. 7 RCTs have shown that the students we support learn, on average, 2.4x faster each year than their peers in comparable schools. Today, we serve more than a quarter of a million students across 1,000 schools in West and East Africa through three integrated and complimentary channels:  - Pioneering Great-Value Private Schools: Our innovative networks of private schools deliver best-in-class results for children while developing highly scalable new technologies and approaches. - Scalable Government Partnerships: We partner and collaborate with local and national governments across Africa to transform the quality of public school systems at scale. - High Impact Solutions for Partners: We offer our proven high-impact solutions to other education providers and schools to improve school performance & increase outcomes.  Our innovative approaches combine expertly designed curriculum materials, personalized learning experiences, intensive teacher coaching and actionable data for school leaders.

Role Description As Narvar continues to scale its post-purchase platform, we are looking for a high-energy, technically curious Junior Customer Engineer to join our team. This is a foundational role designed for a recent college graduate or bootcamp finisher who is eager to dive into the world of e-commerce, APIs, and data integration. You won't be expected to architect complex systems on day one. Instead, you will be the "engine room" of the CE team—supporting our Senior Customer Engineers and Shopify SMEs on high-value projects. - Assist Senior CEs with the "tasks" of implementations, including configuring basic data flows, working on configuration within the Narvar platform, setting up webhooks, and testing API endpoints. - Work with JSON structures to ensure data from a customer’s storefront (like Shopify or Salesforce) maps correctly into the Narvar platform. - Help document the custom solutions we build to ensure our Support and Product teams understand exactly how a client’s integration functions. - Help investigate initial technical hurdles—debugging errors or checking logs—before escalating to senior team members. - Help perform rigorous testing on new integrations during our testing and hypercare phase. - Participate in regular stand-ups and project syncs, providing updates on your tasks and learning how to communicate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders. Qualifications - A recent degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a graduate of a recognized Coding Bootcamp. - A solid understanding of JavaScript, HTML/CSS, and how APIs (REST) work. - Strong written and verbal skills. Requirements - A "hit the deadline" mindset. - Thrive on feedback and quick to apply what you’ve learned. - Any exposure to e-commerce platforms (Shopify, BigCommerce) or automation tools (n8n, Zapier) is a huge plus, but not a dealbreaker. Benefits - Mentorship by industry experts. - Hands-on experience with modern iPaaS tools. - Clear career path toward becoming a full Customer Engineer or Integration Architect.
