We are on our way to becoming Africa’s leading platform for last-mile access to health products and services used by enterprises, consumers, resellers, and health facilities. Kasha focuses on the lower-income mass market population, selling health and household goods and delivering those products to the last mile through our Kasha Agents and logistics networks. Customers can order using an omnichannel mobile platform that is built to be highly accessible around the country, reaching even typically offline customers via our digital channels. Kasha also works with manufacturers and global health organizations, operating as a service channel for visibility on distribution, performance data, consumer insights, and last-mile access. Kasha was founded in July 2016 in Rwanda, and operates in East, South, Central, and West Africa. You can learn more about us at Kasha Global Inc.\nAbout the RoleThe Data Scientist will leverage AI/ML-driven predictive analytics to support the development and deployment of Proof-of-Concept (PoC) and Minimum Viable Products (MVPs) focused on NCD (Non-Communicable Diseases) patient retention, delivery forecasting, behavioral adherence, and AI-powered virtual assistants. The role involves building machine learning models for risk scoring, adherence prediction, and supply chain optimization while integrating insights into existing healthcare and logistics dashboards to improve patient outcomes and operational efficiency. Role can be based in Egypt, Rwanda, Kenya and/or South Africa.\nResponsibilities\nPredictive Analytics & AI Models\n\nDesign and develop AI-driven risk scoring models to identify NCD patients at risk of disengagement.\n\nBuild predictive models to forecast eligibility transitions for improved patient care pathways.\n\nImplement a Machine Learning-based adherence segmentation model to analyze patient behavior patterns.\n\nDelivery Forecasting & Supply Chain Optimization\n\nDevelop an AI-powered delivery forecasting model to predict medication delivery accuracy and potential delays.\n\nIntegrate predictive insights into logistics and warehouse management systems to improve proactive planning.\n\nAI-Powered Virtual Assistants\n\nDevelop and deploy AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants for medication reminders, real-time patient engagement, and adherence support.\n\nEnable self-service patient platforms for medication-related queries and preference management.\n\nData Engineering & Infrastructure\n\nDesign and optimize Python-based ETL pipelines for data flow between AI models and healthcare dashboards.\n\nWork with MS Dynamics integrations to enhance AI-driven decision-making in clinical and operational processes.\n\nEnsure seamless API integrations for real-time data exchange between predictive models and user-facing applications.\n\nMonitoring, Validation & Deployment\n\nDevelop real-time monitoring mechanisms for risk stratification insights and adherence dashboards.\n\nOptimize CI/CD pipelines for AI/ML model deployment and automate API-based data updates.\n\nConduct model validation, A/B testing, and performance tuning to refine PoC models before MVP scaling.\n\nCollaboration & Knowledge Sharing\n\nWork closely with healthcare professionals, supply chain teams, and DevOps engineers to align AI models with operational needs.\n\nProvide executive-level data insights through Jupyter notebooks and visualization dashboards.\n\nContribute to AI/ML best practices through code reviews, documentation, and team knowledge sharing.\n\nQualifications\nMachine Learning & AI: Supervised and unsupervised learning, risk prediction models, forecasting algorithms.\n\nProgramming & Data Processing: Python, SQL, Pandas, Scikit-learn, TensorFlow/PyTorch.\n\nCloud & Infrastructure: AWS (RDS, Lambda, SageMaker), Google Cloud, or Azure AI services.\n\nETL & Data Engineering: Experience with building scalable data pipelines for ML models.\n\nAPIs & Integration: REST APIs, MS Dynamics API, healthcare data interoperability.\n\nVisualization: Jupyter, Power BI, or similar platforms.\n\nExperience\n3+ years of experience in Data Science, AI/ML, or predictive analytics in healthcare, logistics, or enterprise AI applications.\n\nMicrosoft Data Analyst Associate certification or BSc in Computer Science, AI, or a related field.\n\nKnowledge\nStrong communication skills for engaging clinical teams, engineers, and business stakeholders.\n\nAbility to translate complex AI insights into actionable business strategies.\n\nExperience in healthcare analytics, supply chain optimization, or chatbot development is a plus.\n\nOriginally posted on
