Matt Gardine
Institution: Alaska Earthquake Center
Open Until: 2021-01-26
The Alaska Earthquake Center is seeking the right developer to enhance the center’s public-facing and internal software products. Many of your projects will be highly visible to the public and stakeholders. As the primary web administrator, you will be responsible for maintaining and enhancing the center’s web framework.
A knowledge of modern web systems, from underlying server technologies to displaying end products, is highly desirable. You will also be called on to work on a team to develop codes that enhance and expand the capabilities of our earthquake processing system. You will work closely with scientists and technical experts to create tools that stakeholders can rely on in a crisis to protect lives and property. Your contribution to the Alaska Earthquake Center team will help to reduce the impacts of earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions in Alaska.
The center is housed at the Geophysical Institute at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, where it has served for decades as the definitive source for earthquake information in Alaska. We are the primary source of earthquake information for thousands of Alaskans, government agencies, and private firms every day. Our work environment mixes staff with a wide variety of scientific, technical, and communications expertise. You will have significant discretion to figure out the best solutions to your tasks. We value the way problems are solved as much as the results. Because earthquakes occur at all hours, every member of our team is called upon, on occasion, to respond 24/7.
We are looking for an individual with skills such as:
- Advanced knowledge and experience with enterprise-grade information technologies including hardware and software, cloud computing, and data and network security.
- Experience administering web servers and services
- Experience programming in modern web languages and technologies such as HTML, JavaScript, and PHP
- Ability to understand how complex systems relate to each other
- Ability to analyze unusual, non-routine, and complex situations and problems and devise and implement alternative strategies for solutions
- Ability to serve as an expert for web systems
- Ability to work as part of a team and guide team members in area(s) of expertise
- Knowledge of digital security standards and implementation
*Applicants must be legally eligible for unrestricted employment to work in the U.S. No work visas will be sponsored for this position.*
Questions can be sent to Matt Gardine (mgardin2<at>alaska.edu).
