(Part-time, contractor) CTMS Platform Builder & Technical Product Manager

## About the Role We're looking for a full-stack developer who doubles as a technical product manager to take ownership of our CTMS platform. You'll work with AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, Cursor, or similar) alongside strong engineering fundamentals to ship features fast, manage the product roadmap, and handle deployment. This is not a "write specs and hand off" PM role. You will build, ship, and deploy — with AI tools accelerating code generation while you provide the architecture, security judgment, and quality control. The system has two main portals: - Study Admin Portal — for Taxa staff (coordinators, PIs, operations) - Participant Portal — mobile-first interface for study participants ## What You'll Own You will help scale and productionize Taxa's clinical operations platform and next-generation CTMS infrastructure across participant logistics, study coordination, compliance workflows, and automation systems. Key areas of ownership may include: - Building and maintaining participant-facing workflows and internal operational tools - Designing secure systems for kit activation, participant tracking, and clinical data handling - Developing coordinator workflows, reporting tools, and operational dashboards - Improving communication systems, notifications, and participant engagement infrastructure - Supporting compliance, auditability, and operational reliability requirements - Contributing to the evolution of Taxa's CTMS architecture and operational data systems - Collaborating on infrastructure, security, and platform scalability decisions as the system evolves - Exploring intelligent automation and AI-assisted operational workflows This role requires strong product-minded engineering judgment, comfort operating in ambiguity, and the ability to make pragmatic architectural decisions in a fast-moving environment. ## Required Skills - Full-stack development — backend-heavy (API design, database, integrations), comfortable with server-rendered frontends - HIPAA / healthcare data handling — experience with PHI storage, encryption requirements, audit trails, and BAA chains. Must be able to articulate your approach to HIPAA compliance in the proposal - Clinical trial or healthtech experience — prior work with participant management, DCT workflows, CTMS/EDC systems, or regulated software (21 CFR Part 11, GxP, or equivalent) - AI-assisted development proficiency — experience with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot, or similar AI coding tools.
