What we do: 

In order to prepare for the upcoming product growth, we are embarking on a multi-pronged roadmap that involves overhauling our data ingestion and storage infrastructure to better handle larger volumes of data of different types; redesigning/rewriting our data distribution infrastructure and APIs to provide optimized and scalable access to the vast amount of data we maintain; and modernizing our front-end application stack by utilizing open source frameworks such as React, TypeScript, and Node. 

We’ll trust you to:

•  Develop and maintain new client facing features to keep our product competitive and also cater to the growing demands of our clients
•  Work very closely with our clients and business representatives to seek requirements and implement creative solutions
•  Collaborate and build effectively with our other core and application teams to develop these solutions
•  Design, develop, and release high-quality maintainable systems and code
•  Lead and contribute to projects that involve challenges in system performance, scalability, resilience, and data engineering
•  Take ownership of products, solutions, and systems
•  Drive and balance the incorporation of new technologies while improving development practices
•  Mentor others by encouraging collaboration and knowledge sharing

You’ll need to have:

•  4+ years working with an object-oriented programming language (C/C++, Python, Java, etc.)
•  A Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, similar field of study or equivalent work experience 
•  An understanding of Computer Science fundamentals such as data structures and algorithms
•  Passion for building robust, scalable, and maintainable applications and infrastructure
•  Strong knowledge and experience with at least one (preferably SQL) database, including complex query building and performance analysis
•  Prior contributions to system design and architecture and scaling fault-tolerant, distributed systems 
•  Excellent communication and collaboration skills
•  Willingness and excitement to learn new things and work on a wide range of problems

 
We’d love to see:


•  Experience with backend open source application frameworks (Apache Solr, Kafka, Redis, etc.)
•  Experience with designing APIs
•  Experience building and maintaining microservice architectures
•  Track record of technical leadership
•  Track record of improving the developer experience by promoting Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery
•  Track record of project management experience
•  Experience in Javascript, Python, and/or MySQL is a plus but not required 
•  Experience in Data Engineering is a plus but not required
•  Domain knowledge in Research Management Solutions
