Requisition Id 10461

Purpose:

The Information Technology Services Division in the Business Services Directorate at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory is seeking qualified applicants for a Front-End Software Developer position in the Research and Research and Misson Support Applications group. The RMSA group exists to facilitate lab goals through systems engineering, development, integration, and support for the research community at ORNL.

Our Team:

We are responsible for facilitating service and capability delivery for R&D projects. We work as team to provide development, deployment, automation, monitoring, and management tool infrastructure for researchers. We advocate, promote, and facilitate Agile Scrum development practices to researchers who develop or require development of code as a part of their projects.

What does our ideal teammate look like and what will you be doing?

Our primary goal is to partner with research organizations to enable research excellence and delivery at ORNL. The right person for this challenge will have previous experience in design, development, and management of spatial data platforms, programming scalable services, and front and back-end development and integration, and similar areas. You will have experience and capabilities developing in Software-as-a Service and Data-as-a-Service environments.

Our team views success through the lens of what additional capabilities, services, cost savings, and optimizations we bring to our research partners enabling their success. We want researchers and their projects focused on their delivery and worrying less about their underlying IT.

You will be collaborating with a highly diverse and multidisciplinary team; from photogrammetrists, geographers, mathematicians, physicists, computer scientists, and engineers in research, development, integration, testing, and deployment in areas including spatial computing, real-time data platforms, and machine intelligence systems. You will support research staff in disseminating results in peer reviewed journals, technical reports, relevant conferences, and open-source software project repos. You will work with researchers and project sponsors to capture, understand, integrate, and implement project and security requirements in developed services and software.

We optimize our workflows and monitoring solutions to take advantage of our 24/7 operations staff, which significantly reduces the need for off-hours support. We also offer a flexible work schedule and utilize Email, Jira, Confluence, Teams, Slack, and other collaboration solutions to stay in contact. Our team currently works remotely most days, but we have space for people to work on campus and will have planning and design meetings on the ORNL campus.
