📋 Description

• Develop, construct, and sustain both internal and participant-facing tools, dashboards, portals, automations, and workflow systems that facilitate recruiting, screening, fielding, project coordination, reporting, and operational visibility.

• Convert research and business requirements into well-defined specifications, prototypes, production-ready tools, and continuous product enhancements.

• Substitute manual tasks with scalable systems that enhance speed, accuracy, consistency, data quality, and user experience.

• Design, configure, or assess MCP servers and clients that link AI tools to approved APIs, SaaS systems, data resources, and internal workflows.

• Utilize AI-assisted development platforms like Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Lovable, Base44, or similar tools while validating generated code, dependencies, architecture, and security assumptions.

• Establish practical guidelines for agent behavior, tool access, human approval points, logging, error handling, retries, rollback procedures, and responsible management of sensitive data.

• Develop and maintain integrations across survey platforms, CRM systems, project management tools, reporting tools, databases, cloud services, and other business systems.

• Work with REST APIs, webhooks, OAuth/OIDC, JSON payloads, schema validation, data mapping, synchronization jobs, ETL-style workflows, error handling, retries, and auditability.

• Design data workflows that promote smoother transitions, improved reporting, reduced manual processes, clear data lineage, and secure access to operational and participant information.

• Review, conduct quality assurance, refactor, and maintain production tools, including AI-generated code, both prior to and following launch.

• Implement version control, centralized documentation, release notes, testing, monitoring, logging, and change tracking to ensure system reliability and clarity.

• Employ effective privacy and security measures for PII and sensitive business data, such as least privilege, permissions, credential management, secure configuration, and awareness of data retention.

• Clearly communicate status, risks, trade-offs, training requirements, and implementation decisions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
