Library Applications Developer

Description

UO LIbraries is looking for an applications developer who will work on a variety of projects in a team comprised of librarians and programmers. 

This position provides high-level programming and technological solutions for the development, enhancement, and maintenance of UO Libraries’ open source and vended software products with a specific focus on supporting user-facing digital collections, digital research projects, web applications, and database-driven websites.

While we would love for you to join us on site or in a hybrid remote/on-site way, fully remote work is possible.

Active involvement in projects for UO Libraries units is a core part of daily work. Project requests are generated both by Libraries personnel and campus collaborators. Work includes: analyzing project requests; developing and testing robust, sustainable, accessible, and secure applications and websites; collaborating with other developers to create best practices, procedures, and clear documentation; and ensuring effective and efficient application maintenance.
