Hi all,
Colleagues and I at the University of York are seeking a Web Application Developer to undertake 16 weeks of paid, full-time work on an exciting project relating to music/musician discovery. Candidates must have the right to work in the UK, but could be located remotely once this right has been evidenced/confirmed. Pay is Grade 6 (£33,309 - £40,927 per year). We would be looking for someone to start early April or sooner if possible.
The deadline for applications is middle of next week (16th March). I have put more details about the role below and would be happy to discuss further by email (
tom.collins@xxxxxxxxxx) or Zoom.
All best,
Tom
Main purpose of the roleWe are seeking a Web Application Developer to undertake 16 weeks of work on an exciting project relating to music/musician discovery.
Candidates will have excellent knowledge of server-side (e.g., Node.js, Fastify, Node Fetch or similar) and client-side (e.g., Vue, p5.js, or similar) _javascript_, and preferably previous knowledge of SQLite and/or graph-based database solutions too. The candidate will be comfortable working with UML and an existing, documented codebase, and be enthusiastic about engaging in an iterative development process, as we seek to integrate new functionality into a public-facing beta, which we aim to launch, assess, and refine within the scope of the 16-week project.
The candidate will be an excellent communicator and team member, able to discuss ideas and approaches with a team consisting of two academics (Principal Investigator and Co-Investigator), one external advisor, one commercialisation manager, and one student intern, with occasional input from a marketing consultancy firm.
The candidate will integrate existing code and write new code as a result of requirements identified via these discussions, as well as test, support, and document what is built. The Principal Investigator has experience of building web-based systems, so there is also code available from other projects for some of the functionality to be integrated.
There will be a coding challenge to complete prior to interview, which should take no more than two hours, and the interview will include a check to ensure that any solution to the challenge represents a candidate’s own knowledge and work. The preferred start date for this role is Monday 4th April 2022, or sooner if possible.
