The NC State University Libraries seeks an experienced developer to help
lead development efforts within the IT department. This development unit
is responsible for supporting the core information systems in the

implementing and supporting open source and vendor solutions. The lead
developer will serve as the technical backbone of a unit with 3
developers. He or she will have primary oversight over E-Matrix, an
electronic resources and serials management system built in-house at
NCSU Libraries, and will also be a key participant in design, testing,

all new development within the unit.
We are looking for someone who would be able to jump right into learning
a complex enterprise-level application built using Java (Hibernate and

repositories (Subversion) is a plus. Must have good communication
skills, the ability to participate in a team development environment,
and a willingness to learn about library metadata and business processes.
