The Emory libraries are in the planning stages of a Hydra implementation that will ultimately replace an extensive custom Fedora/Python-Django infrastructure.   Special consideration will be given to experienced UI/UX developers.

While Hydra development will be a big part of our work going forward, the team also serves non-repository needs, and so there will be opportunities to enjoy a variety of development challenges.  Visit us on github to get a sense of our work:
