The Role

We tracks youth opportunity across every district in India. We need someone who can keep that platform accurate, current, and useful — building the pipelines that bring in new data, maintaining the systems that power it, and making the outputs legible to people who don't read spreadsheets.

This is end-to-end ownership. You build it, you maintain it, you improve it.

What You'll Do

Data & Pipelines

• You will be managing, making sense from the larger data set from govt and many other spaces
• Build and maintain pipelines that pull, clean, and process government datasets into YouthPOWER indicators
• Update the platform as new data releases come in — PLFS, Census, ASI, ASUSE and others
• Identify new datasets worth integrating and make the case for including them
• Ensure every number is traceable — clean audit trails, reproducible outputs, no black boxes

Systems & Code

• Work within a database-backed system (Supabase/PostgreSQL)
• Write and maintain scripts in Python and Stata
• Keep code organised and version-controlled on GitHub
• Own data quality end-to-end — catch errors before they go public

Visual Communication

• Build charts, maps, and visual explainers that make district-level patterns readable
• Translate complex indicator outputs into formats that work for policymakers, journalists, and citizens
• Think about who is reading this — not just whether the data is correct

Who You Are

• You've worked with messy, real-world data — ideally Indian government or administrative datasets
• You write clean Python; you're comfortable with Stata, SQL, and Git
• You have a visual instinct — you know when a chart is doing its job and when it isn't
• You're self-directed — you don't need someone to tell you the pipeline broke, you already know
• Background in data journalism, computational social science, or public policy data work is a strong fit
• Economics or policy background helpful but not required — quantitative rigour and curiosity about India matters more
