Experience designing and operating CI/CD pipelines, automated test frameworks, and observability systems.
Practical knowledge of application security, data privacy, and compliance requirements in web products.
Working knowledge of agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Codex, or equivalents) and the techniques — repository context, quality gates, review discipline — that make them reliable in production engineering.

Maintain and improve the engineering systems — CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, deployment infrastructure, quality gates, and observability — that allow the team to ship confidently.
Troubleshoot complex production incidents; drive root cause analysis and durable fixes.
Implement and refine the repository context, conventions, and executable plans that support effective AI-assisted coding with tools such as Claude Code and Codex.
Identify engineering work that can move to AI-assisted or automated workflows, keeping human review in place where it protects quality, accuracy, and compliance.
Serve as the primary technology partner to PracticeMatch’s business and product leadership, translating technical considerations into business terms and priorities.
Collaborate with M3 USA’s broader technology leadership on shared infrastructure, platforms, and standards.
Communicate architecture decisions, transformation progress, and engineering health clearly to senior leadership.
