About APTrust : The Academic Preservation Trust (APTrust.org) is a 16-institution consortium of research universities committed to the creation and management of a sustainable environment for digital preservation.  What makes what we do truly sustainable is our collaborative culture and our work together on the challenges that digital stewardship presents.  Our members bring both to the development of an aggregated repository that is helping address one of the greatest challenges facing research libraries and their parent institutions – preventing the permanent loss of scholarship and cultural records being produced today.  APTrust is hosted at and operated by the University of Virginia Library.

What you will do:

Ensure that APTrust’s infrastructure remains optimally configured using the most effective, most affordable, most maintainable and most flexible technologies possible to accomplish APTrust’s digital preservation mission. 
Work continuously on automating the testing, build, deployment, and provisioning processes.
