Web Application Developer

Description

We in the University of Wisconsin-Madison General Library System’s software development shop are looking for a Ruby on Rails developer to work on our major library systems, including our custom discovery platform (https://search.library.wisc.edu), online collections presentation and workflow, digital content repositories, and digital preservation.  We’re working now to reengineer the entire digital collections stack and to rethink how we provide discovery of the wide range of resources the Libraries deliver.  Excellent work and innovative thinking will make a big difference in how effectively the Libraries serve these parts of their mission.

You would be joining a team of seven developers who work closely with dynamic, friendly teams of librarians and sysadmins in one of the world’s top-ranked academic research libraries.   We prize collaboration and independence, learning and the willingness to champion new ideas and approaches to a problem, craftsmanship, and engineering for sound performance and stability.
