En moyenne, ce modèle permet à tout agriculteur d\u0026#39;augmenter ses revenus et ses actifs de plus de 35 % sur les terres qu\u0026#39;il exploite, tout en améliorant durablement sa résilience.

Across nine countries that together are home to two-thirds of Africa\u0026#39;s farmers, we provide high-quality farm supplies, tree seedlings, accessible credit, modern agronomic training, and a wide range of other agricultural services. On average, this model enables any farmer to increase their income and assets on supported land by more than 35 percent, while permanently improving their resilience. This is all made possible by our team of 9,000+ full-time staff, drawn from diverse backgrounds and professions.\u0026amp;nbsp;To learn more, please see our\u0026amp;nbsp;\u0026lt;a href=\u0026quot;https://oneacrefund.org/careers/why-work-here\u0026quot; target=\u0026quot;_blank\u0026quot;\u0026gt;Why Work Here\u0026lt;/a\u0026gt; blog post.\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;It is estimated that 1.1 million hectares of forest land are being lost each year in the Democratic Republic of Congo. This pattern of deforestation, which has significant implications for the region, is primarily attributed to small-scale farming practices. One Acre Fund is working to address the root causes of deforestation, linked to poverty and low agricultural yields, by giving smallholder farmers the tools they need to shift their agricultural activities away from forest land and help them obtain bigger and healthier harvests. We train farmers in agroforestry, support the set-up and scale up of farmer-led entrepreneurial ventures, and operate along the seed value chain to ensure access to improved inputs for smallholder farmers.\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;h3\u0026gt;About the Role\u0026lt;/h3\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;We are seeking dynamic and versatile professionals to drive high-impact cross-functional projects across internal systems, field operations, R\u0026amp;amp;D (Innovations and MEL), donor/government relations, and people operations at One Acre Fund DRC.

Across nine countries that together are home to two-thirds of Africa\u0026#39;s farmers, we provide high-quality farm supplies, tree seedlings, accessible credit, modern agronomic training, and a wide range of other agricultural services.

The successful candidate will help shape how Tupande uses AI, automation solution integration to accelerate its farmer-first agribusiness model and serve millions of farmers more effectively. The candidate will have the opportunity to set technical direction, influence Tupande's strategy, build a high-performing engineering capability, and personally contribute to the design and delivery of high-impact solutions. This role will also shape how automation and AI are leveraged and establish a model that could influence broader advanced technology adoption across the organization.\n\nChallenges: This role is responsible for establishing and scaling a relatively new AI and automation engineering capability within Tupande. The successful candidate will need to balance strategic leadership with hands-on delivery, often making decisions in situations where there is no established blueprint to follow. They will need to quickly develop a deep understanding of Tupande's operating model, customer journeys, and business priorities while identifying where AI, automation, and system integrations can create the greatest value. The role will also require balancing competing priorities, ensuring quality and governance standards are maintained, and building technical capability across the team while simultaneously delivering measurable business outcomes.\n\nOpportunities: This is a unique opportunity to shape how a large agricultural organization uses AI, and automation to accelerate its farmer-first vision. The role offers significant influence over technology strategy, organizational priorities, and future engineering capability. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to build and lead a high-performing engineering function, establish standards and ways of working, and personally contribute to high-impact solutions that improve customer experience, operational efficiency, and farmer impact at scale. Few roles offer the opportunity to combine technical leadership, hands-on engineering, organizational transformation, and direct business influence to this extent.","value_type":"long_text"}],"id":8029869,"updated_at":"2026-09-22T11:56:34-04:00","requisition_id":"02562","title":"Tupande Automation Engineering Lead (Fixed-term)","company_name":"One Acre Fund","first_published":"2026-06-29T01:16:54-04:00","language":"en","application_deadline":null,"content":"\u0026lt;h3\u0026gt;About One Acre Fund\u0026lt;/h3\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Founded in 2006, One Acre Fund equips 5.5 million smallholder farmers to make their farms more productive.

Names problem behaviour directly and early with a standard attached. Builds influence into structure through shared targets, one set of numbers, a fixed cadence and an agreed escalation path.\nData Management and Reporting: High proficiency in Excel or Google Sheets. Builds formula driven trackers with parameters held in one place, reconciles volumes stage by stage, and produces reporting a field user can act on without training. Reads a dataset for the pattern the summary hides, and questions a threshold that everyone breaches.\nField and Logistics Operations: Real familiarity with how fruit moves. Can run a collection day end to end, knows where scale calibration, grading at intake, chain of custody and transport routing typically fail, and designs controls that catch it on the day.
