REMOTE (US only) | Contract, part-time orffmaestra.com
About
We're preparing a U.S. Department of Education SBIR Phase IA proposal to build an assessment reasoning platform for school speech-language pathologists. It implements TTL-MSM, a fully specified decision framework for one of the hardest calls in school eligibility evaluations: whether a student's communication profile reflects a disorder or a difference. Clinicians code each source of evidence, and a fixed rule combines them. The rules are written; the software isn't. The research lead is at Baylor University.
Roles

Technical Product Lead
- Compensation: $75–100/hr
- The bridge between the clinical spec and the engineering.
- Scope the prototype, turn the spec into requirements, and keep the build on schedule.
- About 5–8 hrs/week for nine months if funded.
Timeline and Eligibility
- Pre-award scoping is unpaid: 10–15 hrs for the developer, 5–10 for the lead.
