University of Chicago, Humanities Division — Chicago, IL — ONSITE — Full Time — Web Application Programmer
Humanities Administrative &amp; Academic Computing is a small development team (4-6 people). We are looking for a lead programmer for administrative web applications &amp; misc research projects. This position will maintain existing applications as well as build new ones from the ground up.
As a part of a small team that operates the entire stack (from the physical servers up) and has personal relationships with our clients you will have the opportunity to learn or get involved in many aspects of web application development beyond just writing code:
- Consulting with the actual end users to build exactly what they need rather than just something that looks good in a powerpoint deck.
- Training end users, giving demos, mentoring student assistants
- Automated testing, config management &amp; deployment, basic performance tuning
Our stack is presently Ember.js / Ruby on Rails / Postgres / Solr / Redis / Ubuntu Linux (and a bit of Drupal/PHP) and this position would have a significant role in making future choices in technology direction.
This is a full time on-site position in Chicago, IL with sensible working hours.
