Experience using modern AI-assisted development tools and agentic coding workflows to quickly build scripts, internal dashboards, and operational tools that automate repetitive tasks.

Track record of creating clear operational processes and reference documentation where none previously existed.

Clear communicator who can align priorities across research scientists, engineers, legal, privacy, and operations teams.

Experience guiding study moderators and communicating clearly and respectfully with study participants during sensitive prototype tests.

Minimum Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Human Factors, Cognitive Science, Computer Science, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Life/Physical Sciences, or equivalent job-related experience.
