The Web Developer will play an increasingly senior role in building
web platforms
the Libraries will use to communicate with students, faculty, and fellow
professionals across and beyond the Institute. S/he will also participate
on project teams charged with advancing and supporting our discovery

ensuring we deliver an engaging and intuitive user experience.

Working on a team of application developers, in close coordination with User

a few Drupal websites.
   - Collaborate with system administrators, other developers, and
non-technical
stakeholders on upgrades and ongoing maintenance to supported web
sites/applications.
   - Influence the evolution of the MIT Libraries web environment, immediately

expand the Libraries’ web infrastructure.

QUALIFICATIONS include some combination of:

   - 5 years of relevant professional experience
   - Experience developing and maintaining WordPress themes and plugins.
   - Proficient in current web technologies such as HTML5, CSS,
JavaScript/jQuery,
and PHP.
   - A focused curiosity, and motivation to learn and adapt to new
technologies,
and to develop new skills.
   - As technologies change at a rapid pace, the successful candidate must be
willing to learn new skills, tools, and methodologies.
   - Excellent verbal and written communication skills including the ability
to discuss the technical with nontechnical colleagues and to document work.
   - Ability to work effectively in a shared decision-making
environment: appropriately
taking initiative, or seeking guidance, working independently or
collaboratively, coordinating projects, leading teams, and helping others
succeed.

Preferred:

   - Bachelor’s degree
   - Experience with other CMS platforms/frameworks including Drupal, CakePHP,
and/or hosted CMS platforms such as SpringShare’s LibGuides.
