Careers

Join a team that ships where it matters

Daira is engineers, researchers, clinicians and operators building technology for the 90% — where it is needed most. Eighteen thousand children screened, thirty thousand families reached, and every venture starts on an anganwadi mat, not a whiteboard. Come do the work that reaches them.

Life at Daira

A culture you can see in the field

Field first

Every teammate — engineers included — spends time where the work lands: schools, anganwadis, district offices.

The dignity rule

We describe children by the support they need, never by what they lack. In every report, screen and sentence.

Clinical honesty

A result a clinician would not stand behind is not a result we ship. NIEPID review is a feature, not a hurdle.

Understand before building

The first months of every venture produce no product at all. If the research says stop, the venture stops.

Deploy through the system

Teachers and anganwadi workers run our programmes, not our field team. If it needs us in the room, it isn't done.

Language matters

Screening scripts, parent reports, training — in the languages families actually speak, written with care.

How we work

Three rules, one team

The culture is not a poster on a wall. It is how every venture here gets decided, built and deployed.

01

Understand before building

Every venture begins with months of research that produce no product at all — fieldwork in schools, anganwadis and homes, interviews with teachers, parents and clinicians. We would rather spend a season understanding a district than a decade regretting an assumption about it.

02

Deploy through the system

Teachers and anganwadi workers run our programmes — not our field team. We train, certify and step back, because a programme that only works while we are in the room has proved nothing about whether it can last.

Build for the 90%

Most technology is built for the ten percent who already have access. Ours is judged on whether it works on a shared phone, in a low-signal block, in the language a family actually speaks — for the rest.

Perks & benefits

Looked after, so you can look ahead

01

Field exposure

Every role visits the field — screenings in Keonjhar, training days, district meetings. The work stays honest when you have seen where it lands.

02

Learning stipend

An annual budget for courses, books, conferences and certifications. The field keeps teaching us; so should everything else.

03

Remote-friendly

Most desk roles work from wherever you think best. We gather in person for field weeks and the moments that need a room.

04

Health cover for family

Insurance that covers you and the people who depend on you — parents included, no fine print.

05

Annual retreat in Odisha

Once a year the whole team gathers where the work began — part planning, part field visit, part celebration.

06

Work that reaches children

Eighteen thousand children screened and counting. Every role here traces to a child found earlier, supported sooner.
