Senior Software Engineer/Architect The Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science, Inc. (CUAHSI) seeks a senior software engineer/architect to lead the development of data services for the academic water science research community.
The Senior Software Engineer/Architect will develop a strategy to transition a standards-based services-oriented architecture for publication and discovery of water data from a research project to an operational service. The research project, CUAHSI Hydrologic Information System (HIS) consists of a central metadata catalog (HydroCatalog), a data publication server stack (HydroServer) and a data access, visualization, and analysis client (HydroDesktop). HIS has been developed in a Microsoft .NET environment and utilizes various commercial packages, including Microsoft SQL Server and ESRI’s ArcGIS Server software. The ideal candidate will have both a background in water science research (in the fields of earth science, engineering, or _ecology_) and a strong informatics background with understanding of Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) web service and data encoding standards, web services, and relational data bases. The ideal candidate will possess the leadership and management skills necessary to work in interdisciplinary teams and to manage employees. To be considered for this position, candidates must possess a combination of degrees that provide expertise in hydroinformatics with the highest degree being either a PhD, multiple Master’s Degrees or a Master’s Degree with at least 3 years of experience. The degrees may be in computer science, hydrologic science (broadly defined) or engineering or a combination of fields. Please submit your resume—including names, addresses, and contact information for 3 to 5 references—and cover letter to [email protected]. Interviews will begin in May 2011 and continue until a suitable candidate has been found. We have a target hiring date of July 1, 2011.
