Working Title: Lead Developer
Position Title: Business & Technology Applications Specialist

The NC State University Libraries seeks an experienced developer to help 
lead development efforts within the IT department. This development unit 
is responsible for supporting the core information systems in the 
library, from building and maintaining enterprise-level applications to 
implementing and supporting open source and vendor solutions. The lead 
developer will serve as the technical backbone of a unit with 3 
developers. He or she will have primary oversight over E-Matrix, an 
electronic resources and serials management system built in-house at 
NCSU Libraries, and will also be a key participant in design, testing, 
and implementation for the Kuali Open Library Environment (OLE) project 
(NCSU Libraries is a partner in this Mellon-funded project). In 
addition, he or she will have the opportunity to work on a variety of 
other projects such as the ReservesDirect open source course reserves 
system, a new administrative information system being built in-house, 
and new/evolving discovery layer tools and mobile applications.

Responsibilities include designing and developing applications, helping 
manage projects and deadlines, providing technical leadership for junior 
developers, serving as technical lead on business-focused product 
management teams, and investigating new technologies. As lead developer, 
this position is responsible for helping architect, design, and plan for 
all new development within the unit.

We are looking for someone who would be able to jump right into learning 
a complex enterprise-level application built using Java (Hibernate and 
Spring) and PostgreSQL. Other supported tools within this unit utilize 
MySQL, PHP, and Python, so our preferred candidate would be someone 
excited about working across a variety of technologies. Experience with 
application and database design is a must. Knowledge of code management 
repositories (Subversion) is a plus. Must have good communication 
skills, the ability to participate in a team development environment, 
and a willingness to learn about library metadata and business processes.

Salary is based on experience and qualifications, but expected hiring 
range is $75,000 – 80,000.

NCSU Libraries is a fast-paced, innovative environment with no shortage 
of interesting problems to solve. For a detailed list of required and
