JOB DETAILS:
The core of RapidPro service is a highly capable platform that allows the creation of sophisticated interactions using an intuitive user interface.

It shall also be flexible enough to further incorporate new and additional features (such as multi-channel or multi-language support, etc.) directly into the system to avoid the branching off different use cases from the core service.
