About
OUR VALUES
Transparency
Wherever we can, we publish what we dotogether with our results, both good andbad.
Sustainability
We have built a strong and durable company that is here to stay. We take full account of our environmental impact.
“Can-do” Attitude
We attract, retain and develop the best talent develop the best talent worldwide. We challenge each other to do better and adopt a “can-do” attitude.
Integrity
We take responsibility, are unyieldingly honest, say what we mean and match our behaviour to our words. Always!
Who We Are
It all started with a simple idea in 2011: Let’s build a development consultancy firm where the only priority is to help those in need. Profit, image and politics are all secondary.
Today, MzN International operates as a social enterprise, helping NGOs and international organisations in 50 + countries around the world do good – better – and making business operations, models and strategies more sustainable. We are guided by a strict ethical code and a willingness to challenge conventional thinking.
- A social enterprise
We operate as a financially sustainable enterprise. All the work we do generates a surplus with which we finance investments in continuous improvement and research.
- Our ethical code
We are committed to strict ethical guidelines, including the Red Cross Code of Conduct and other international standards. We refuse to work with organisations that undermine these standards and values.
- Challenging conventional thinking
We think outside the box, continue to challenge assumptions and invest in research and innovation. In 2014, we worked with the University of Bristol to develop a new concept of beneficiary-led aid. In 2015, we worked on the co-developed Humanitarian Impact Bonds to help close the gap in funding for humanitarian assistance worldwide.
- A bit dfferent
Because we are a professional services and development consultancy firm operating as a social enterprise, we do things a bit differently. Instead of a lengthy set of rules for our employees, we promote autonomy and self-responsibility. This keeps internal red tape to a minimum. In fact, our employee guidelines fit on just one page.
- We operate digitally
We work digitally. Our digital infrastructure allows us to work flexibly, asynchronously and to hire the best, most diversified talent, regardless of where they are located.
- 100% carbon negative
Like every year, in 2023, we calculated our carbon footprint and are planting trees through The Generation Forest cooperative to double offset our carbon emissions.

About Us
At MzN International and Human Planet, we help organisations in the development, humanitarian, and climate sectors to deliver better, faster, and more sustainably. Our work supports NGOs, UN agencies, and social enterprises around the world.
We are office-free and fully remote, with team members across continents and clients in Africa, South Asia, South America, Europe, and North America. We believe in using technology to amplify impact, and AI is at the core of our next phase of growth.
We are now building a dedicated engineering team to develop AI agents that improve how our clients and internal teams operate – from research and grant writing to process automation.
About the Role
We are looking for a skilled and committed AI Engineer to develop, deploy, and maintain a suite of AI agents. These agents will serve two primary purposes:

- Design, build, and maintain AI agents using LLMs and modern automation frameworks
- Deliver usable tools on time and to specification in 2–6 week sprint cycles
- Ensure strict data security according to GDPR
- Develop secure, maintainable integrations with platforms such as Slack, Notion, Google Workspace, and HubSpot
- Document development and design process for continuous integration and refinement
- Manage the full lifecycle of agent development: prototyping, testing, deployment, refinement
- Ensure data protection, usability, transparency, and ethical AI practices are embedded in your work
- Collaborate remotely with a diverse and globally distributed team
- Before starting to work on the tech, fully understand the context, purpose and workflow to ensure the tech is purposeful and practical
Required Skills
- Proven experience designing AI agents.
- Proficiency in Python and AI/ML libraries such as LangChain, HuggingFace, or OpenAI APIs (technical test will be performed during the application process)
- Experience with REST APIs, containerisation (Docker), and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure, Google Business Suite)
- Familiarity with automation and orchestration tools such as N8n or Zapier (technical test will be performed during the application process)
- Strong understanding of data structures, model performance monitoring, and version control
- Ability to work independently and communicate clearly with non-technical stakeholders
- Excellent written and spoken English
Desirable Skills
- Previous experience developing AI solutions for NGOs, international organisations, or social enterprises
- Knowledge of the development, humanitarian, or climate finance sectors
- Experience with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), vector databases, and low-resource language processing
- A strong interest in responsible AI and inclusive technology solutions
What We Offer
- A fully remote, office-free work environment with flexible hours and unlimited paid holiday
- The opportunity to work on globally relevant, impact-driven technology
- A diverse and supportive international team
- Clear sprint-based work structure with performance bonuses
- Regular feedback, annual appraisal, professional development, and opportunity for progression
- The chance to shape how AI is used to solve complex global problems
Recruitment Process
- Initial screening interview
- Technical test with short assignment
- Final face-to-face interview in Mumbai or Bengaluru
