Job Description:

Classification Title:

Systems Admin/Programmer III
Job Description:

The majority of the activities are as a systems programmer and technology implementer for the National Resource for Digitization of Biological Collections (iDigBio) project. Design, implement and support complex ETL mappings to migrate large data volumes from heterogeneous source systems into a central NoSQL data store. Develop and use tools to perform data analytics, data manipulation, and reporting according to data consumer needs, and participate in the design of new or changing data mappings and workflows, evolving the iDigBio data model as data standards are updated and data growth need arises. Produce technical specification and documentation to effectively communicate with data providers and consumers.

Develop software for data-related cloud middleware and web portals. The incumbent will design, implement, and maintain storage, infrastructure, platform, and software clouds including software and hardware selection. Integrate external cloud and distributed data resources with resources developed as part of the projects. Collect and report performance and quality metrics to insure resources are meeting project goals. Create documentation and software packages to make work usable by other institutions. Train collaborators and end users on the cloud and software resources created. Liaise with developers and users of biological collection management systems providing data to iDigBio to gain an understanding of data requirements and functionality, to address data transformation issues, to develop tools that facilitate data quality improvement, and to enable bi-directional data flows.

Coordinate ingestion processes across national and international partner organizations. Interpret iDigBio project needs, stakeholder requests, and PI directives to drive prioritization and triage of tasks and issues. Interface directly with data providers when technical complexity exceeds the capabilities of mobilization staff. Collaborate with national and international organizations as needed to improve data quality and data sharing standards. Collaborate with Partner Projects and new potential partners by way of physical and virtual meetings. Manage the Data Ingestion and Mobilization meeting.

Assist in maintaining existing computer, networking, and software infrastructure in ACIS laboratory. Integrate infrastructure developed as part of the project into the overall resource offerings of the ACIS laboratory. Document best practices and develop technical support materials for ACIS hardware and software.
Expected Salary:

$90,000 - $95,000; commensurate with qualifications and experience
Minimum Requirements:

Bachelor's degree in an appropriate area and two years of relevant experience; or a high school diploma or equivalent and six years of experience. Appropriate college coursework or vocational/technical training may substitute at an equivalent rate for the required experience.
Preferred Qualifications:

4 year degree in computer science or 4 year degree in a biological sciences field with significant IT background.

Knowledge, skill, and proficiency in the theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge in information technology. Ability to apply technology within and outside the body of knowledge and specialty of this position. Ability to understand the needs of the broader community and the state of industry to design significant integrated solutions, which successfully address the depth and scope requirements of all customers. Ability to autonomously analyze complex problems; identify critical elements and alternatives, organize existing resources and new information to implement most appropriate solution. Demonstrated skills and abilities sufficient to perform primary design and interface responsibilities for organization-wide systems. This position will also require knowledge about collections data and collections data management, existing and emerging data standards, and cutting edge techniques for data transformation, representation and big data analysis.
The ability to perform, with minimum supervision, the installation and maintenance of database systems, including SQL and NoSQL databases. The ability to perform, with minimum supervision, the installation, configuration and maintenance of hardware for workstations, personal computers, servers, Ethernet networks and computer peripherals.

- Strong programming skills with proficiency in multiple programming languages/environments (Python, Java, PHP, SQL, stored procedures, JPA, NoSQL, REST), operating systems (Linux, Windows, Mac) data stores (relational, object-oriented, flat files, and document-oriented), data format/protocol standards (ODBC/JDBC, JSON, RDF, CSV, XML/XSLT), and data modeling/mapping tools.

- 3+ years experience in administration of hardware and software systems and support of their users
- 3+ years experience designing, building and maintaining data integration software and heterogeneous data systems.

- 2+ years experience building and managing virtualization-based systems (VM and/or container-based) on-site and/or on the cloud.

- 2+ years experience working in data integration and/or collections informatics
- Knowledge of semantic technology (OWL, RDF, BFO) and standards such as Darwin core, Audubon core, EML, Dublin core, EnvO, PCO, OBO, GO and MIxS is a plus.
