CollectionSpace Technical Lead
Lyrasis
Atlanta

[CollectionSpace](http://www.collectionspace.org) is a web-based collections
information management system, designed by and for museum professionals and
others who work with objects, artifacts, specimens, and other types of
collections (i.e., library special collections, historical, natural, and
cultural artifacts), to manage many aspects of their day-to-day business, such
as cataloging the objects in their collections, managing acquisitions and
loans, and much more. The CollectionSpace project team is comprised of a
dynamic group of professionals based at universities and museums in North
America, the UK, and Europe. Our work is grounded in the community-source
model that places emphasis on community needs first and in the open-source
model of developing software that is distributed under the ECL2 license.

  
We are looking for individuals who believe that working directly with end-
users is critical to success, who like to problem solve and who are team
players. We are changing the paradigm of what it means to manage collections
and how museums and higher education institutions collaborate to use the web
and 21st century technologies to their greatest advantage.

  
The [CollectionSpace Technical Lead](https://www.lyrasis.org/job/Pages

manages the server- and client-side software, within the framework of the
