*About Stanford Libraries*

Stanford Libraries is a network of over 15 libraries with over 400
employees. We are committed to fueling the teaching, learning and research
across Stanford by acquiring, stewarding, and making available a robust
collection, currently in excess of 12 million items. Everyone in the
organization plays a vital role in fulfilling that objective. Our
dedication to discoverability and information management also has us
engaged in dynamic global partnerships. We are constantly building and
strengthening our organization, and we recognize striving for excellence is
a marathon and not a sprint. We are constantly trying to strike the right
pace, and admit there are times when we find ourselves at a fast jog. While
we hope to always find candidates who fit within our organization, what we
truly seek is someone who will add to our culture, our profession as well
as the greater academic arena. We are invested in the success of our teams
and the individuals who represent Stanford Libraries.

This position is part of the Access and Discovery Team within Digital
Library Systems and Services (DLSS), the technology division of Stanford
Libraries. Including this position, the Access and Discovery Team comprises
six software engineers and user experience designers. We develop, maintain,
and support a portfolio of services and applications that support patrons
and users at and beyond Stanford University in finding and using materials
for research, teaching, and learning. This includes SearchWorks (our
library catalog platform), the Stanford Libraries website, Spotlight at
Stanford (our online exhibit platform), EarthWorks (our GIS data discovery
platform), and other tools that deliver and present digital library
content. The Access and Discovery Team values working as a self-directed
and unified team, fostering community and collaboration, improving process
incrementally through regular retrospectives, and fostering an environment
with psychological safety, joy, and humor.

DLSS is a team of nearly 60 software developers, user experience designers,
devops engineers, system administrators, service managers, and
technologists. We develop and contribute to open source software and open
standards communities like Mirador, the International Image
Interoperability Framework, and Blacklight (including ArcLight, Spotlight,
and GeoBlacklight). We also have helped host and facilitate events like the
Lighting the Way Forum, Fantastic Futures, and the LDCX series of
unconferences, and contribute to technical efforts on collaborative
projects like Virtual Tribunals, the Digital Library of the Middle East,
and more. DLSS works with our colleagues across the organization to
world-class services and uphold the Stanford Libraries values. Find more
