Stanford

Stanford University Libraries is seeking a talented software engineer to
support applications and services as part of its digital library, an
internationally recognized technology program developing innovative solutions
to advance teaching, learning and research at one of the world's leading
universities. We are a mission-driven organization that emphasizes open,
collaborative work and community engagement within Stanford and with partner
institutions around the world.

  
This position will be a key contributor to a dynamic team of technologists,
architects and information professionals defining the library of the future.
Come work in an agile-inspired, test-driven, team environment, balancing the
rapid and incremental delivery of new features with operational robustness.
Join us to realize the benefits of working with one of the most talented
technology teams in Silicon Valley to support Stanford scholars in one of the

resources held at Stanford.

  
• Operations engineering (30%)

Promote robustness and sustainability by engineering for reliability and
scale, from development through deployment. Work with SUL's digital library
operations team to leverage devOps infrastructure to streamline operations,
maintenance and deployment of incremental enhancements to existing
applications.

  
• Community Engagement (10%)

Represent Stanford in the digital library communities; identify and adapt code
that fits Stanford's environment. Document and disseminate Stanford
development and operational solutions to other adopters and potential code
contributors. Track and apply industry best practices, tools and methodologies
to Stanford digital library development and operations efforts.

  
Qualifications

  
• Demonstrated experience with, or capacity to learn Ruby
on Rails for application development and for engineering in an enhanced
framework, including plug-ins, engines and gems.

• Working knowledge of or ability to adopt and apply agile
software development practices and test driven development principles. Ability
to understand best practices for software development, and an ability to
introduce and reinforce application of those practices in a team environment.

• Demonstrated ability writing solid, simple, elegant code
both independently and in a team-programming environment, and within schedule
limitations.

• Experience working collaboratively on a project from
specification to launch; ability to work with multiple levels of staff, and
within open source communities; good verbal and written communication skills.

• A candidate at the P3 level will require three or more
years relevant experience engineering applications or services in a data-
driven software environment.

  
Desired Skills

  
• Prior success working in an academic environment.;
experience in the digital library community is a plus.

• Familiarity with Library and Repository-related
applications.

• Experience contributing to community-based open source
projects, including but not limited to those relevant to the Stanford
Libraries' Digital Library architecture, such as Fedora, Blacklight, Solr or
Hydra.

• A passion for good metadata
