Developer
Center for Open Science
Charlottesville

Background

  
Develop exclusively free, open source software in the name of open science.

  
The Center for Open Science is a funded non-profit startup looking for OSS
developers who are passionate about modern web and API practices (and,
ideally, science) with expertise across the web development stack. Open source
has changed how software development works, and we want to apply the same
principles to the sciences. Everything we develop is exclusively free and open
source (see more on GitHub)

  
  
  
Core Technologies

  
Python

Micro-frameworks (e.g., Flask)

Git

Javascript

Javascript Frameworks (e.g., Knockout)

No-SQL Databases (e.g., MongoDB)

API development

We are much more concerned about collaboration, passion, and ability than the
actual technologies you use. We believe that a great developer should be a
great developer in any language. We focus on Python in that Python developers
typically value readability and community, and we are missioned with
connecting and educating the open science and open source communities. The
Python community represents what an effective community should look like and
has strong ties to the sciences. As long as your values are aligned with
those, we want to hear from you.

  
Location

  
COS is located in Charlottesville, Virginia.

  
Benefits

  
COS offers full time employees 401(k), health/dental/vision insurance, and 15
days of paid time off, in addition to a modern office space and other
amenities.

  
Applying

  
COS is an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity, equity, and
inclusiveness, and encourages applications from women and minority
developers. Please submit a resume and cover letter
explaining your background and interest in the position.

  
Referrals

  
COS offers $1,000 hiring bounty for full-time Developer
positions. The Center for Open Science has a unique work
environment for extremely talented developers: [1] we develop exclusively
free, open source software; [2] we are a well-resourced, mission-driven, non-
profit tech start-up; and, [3] we serve and support the open source and open
science communities.

  
This is a great job for many and a perfect job for a few. The perfect
candidate is the person already doing open source in their free time while
wishing that they could make a living doing it all the
time. We need to find these people; you can help. COS
encourages women and members of underrepresented groups in technology and
science to apply.

  
If you know someone who lives and breathes open source and is passionate about
collaboration, sharing, science, and making a difference, then encourage them
to apply. If we hire that person as a full-time developer,
we will send you a check for $1,000.

  
This is not an invitation to spam others on our behalf. Reach out to
developers you know personally, or tweet and post our link to your social
communities. We will ask applicants how they found about the position when
they apply.
