ORA (Oxford University Research Archive) is looking for a developer to join its development team to provide public access to the University’s research output: showcasing Oxford’s research and enabling academics to share their discoveries with the rest of the world.
As a full-stack developer you will be part of the team responsible for developing new features for end users, designing new systems and products, maintaining the ORA system, and improving system performance. Our work is focused on providing fast and efficient public access to research, ensuring the long-term preservation of digital content, supporting the Open Access Collections team, enabling academics within Oxford to make their research available, and working with partner institutions such as the British Library to share data.
You will be using open-source application software such as Ruby on Rails, Blacklight and Samvera repository solutions. You will join a thriving open-source community, with partners across the globe.
You will be joining our sprint-based Agile-focused development team under the direction and mentorship of the ORA Development Team Lead, based in the Bodleian offices in Oxford, with opportunities for remote working. The role is full-time, but there is an opportunity for part time or shared work patterns. The role is flexible based on experience, and would be an ideal post for an early-career developer looking to take the next step, or for a more experienced developer looking to join a diverse and fast-moving team environment.
You will be required to upload a CV and a supporting statement as part of your online application. Your supporting statement should list each of the essential and desirable selection criteria, as listed in the job description, and explain how you meet each one. CVs alone will not be considered.
Only applications received online before 12.00 midday (GMT/BST) on Monday 2 May 2022 can be considered. Interviews are expected to take place during the week commencing 16 May 2022, and may take place via an online platform (likely Microsoft Teams) where a physical meeting is not possible.
