Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) | Software Developer | Copenhagen, Denmark | ONSITE, VISA, SALARY:615k DKK <a href="
GBIF is an international organization and open-data research infrastructure, whose purpose is to make scientific biodiversity data available to all on the Internet.
In other words, like everyone else, we have cat pictures [1], but we also have a cat map [2], and we've started tracking when (and by whom) that data is cited [3].
We're looking for a software developer who will work on the systems behind GBIF.org: our data ingestion system, search indices, APIs, analytics, maps, configuration management, monitoring and so on.  The source code for all this is on GitHub: <a href=".  No biology knowledge is needed ­— the other developers have this, so strong development and Linux skills are much more important.
The starting salary is 51268 DKK per month (almost €6900/mth) and is exempt from Danish tax.  Staff are recruited on the broadest possible geographical basis, so a visa is no problem at all.
