Project Overview

Ediphai is seeking an independent Implementation Engineer to provide customer implementation, integration, and data-engineering services for assigned projects.

The contractor will be engaged under an independent contractor agreement and individual statements of work. Each statement of work will identify the applicable services, deliverables, milestones, acceptance criteria, estimated workload, deadlines, and fees.

• Data-quality assessment: Perform deduplication, normalization, reconciliation, and other agreed data-quality checks.
• Customer validation: Prepare data-audit findings and conduct scheduled validation sessions with customer representatives.
• Implementation deliverables: Produce configured integrations, validated data feeds, issue logs, data-quality reports, and other deliverables identified in the statement of work.
• Technical documentation: Document implementation configurations, procedures, limitations, and customer-specific requirements to facilitate project completion and handoff.
• Post-launch stabilization: Address implementation-related issues during a post-launch stabilization period established in the applicable statement of work.
• Integration improvements: Recommend or develop reusable connectors, automation, provisioning tools, or data-model extensions when specifically included as project deliverables.
• Additional engineering projects: Perform separately authorized platform or integration-development projects when defined in an additional statement of work.

• Experience operating a technology-consulting or software-development business

Independent Contractor Relationship

The contractor will:

• Determine the manner and means used to complete the agreed services, subject to project requirements, acceptance criteria, security standards, customer availability, and deadlines.
• Generally determine when and where services are performed, except for mutually scheduled customer meetings and onsite activities required by a statement of work.
• Provide the contractor’s own ordinary equipment, tools, workspace, insurance, and business expenses, except for access to Ediphai systems or customer environments necessary to complete the project.
• Remain free to provide services to other clients, provided those services do not create a conflict of interest or violate confidentiality obligations.
• Invoice Ediphai for approved services or completed project milestones.
• Be responsible for applicable federal, state, and local taxes and business obligations.
• Not be eligible for employee wages, benefits, paid leave, unemployment benefits, workers’ compensation coverage, or other employee programs, except as otherwise required by applicable law.
• Have no authority to enter into agreements or make commitments on behalf of Ediphai unless expressly authorized in writing.

The contractor’s workload may vary based on active customer implementations. Ediphai does not guarantee a minimum number of projects, hours, or contract renewals.

The engagement will be governed by a written independent contractor agreement and one or more statements of work. The agreement should identify the correct legal contracting entity, such as Ediphai, if applicable.
