About the role
ABOUT THE COMPANY
Nuru Solutions is a B2B agricultural data intelligence platform operating across Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, and Somalia. We combine satellite imagery, weather data, ground truth, and machine learning to deliver farm-level intelligence to insurers, lenders, and agribusinesses serving smallholder farmers.
Our platform powers six core analytical pillars: crop health monitoring, yield prediction, risk profiling, farm boundary detection, credit risk, and market price forecasting. We achieve 80–98% accuracy through a hybrid approach that fuses multi-source satellite data, ML models, and validated ground-truth data, a combination that outperforms single-source competitors.

This person will be responsible for transforming Nuru’s ML function from a talented-but-informal operation into a rigorous, scalable, and auditable system that institutional clients can rely on.
