Job Title: IT Specialist (Software Developer), IS-2210, Grade 11, 12;
$62,758 to $97,787/annually
Location: Cambridge, MA

The NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS) Project within the High Energy
Astrophysics Division of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory is
seeking a software developer. The ADS was originally conceived and
developed over 20 years ago as a system to support the discovery and
retrieval of data from the NASA Astrophysics missions and the scholarly
literature about them. Today, the ADS finds itself as the central discovery
engine for astronomical information, used nearly every day by nearly every
astronomer. Moving into its third decade, the ADS continues to serve the
research community while remaining at the forefront of the massive
technological and sociological changes occurring in the field of scholarly
communication. By joining our group you will be actively supporting the
discovery, dissemination and reuse of scientific publications and data!

The ADS is currently developing the next-generation web-based platform
supporting current and future services. To this end, the project is
committed to re-using and enhancing public domain software modules when
they exist, and developing new open-source software when necessary. The
main components of the system architecture are Apache SOLR/Lucene, CERN
Invenio and MongoDB. The development stack includes java, python, flask,
javascript and bootstrap.

The project is looking for a highly-motivated full-stack developer
interested in joining a dynamic team of talented individuals architecting
and implementing the new platform. The primary responsibility of the
employee is the design, development, and support of the ADS front-end
applications (including the new search interface) as well as the
implementation of the user database, login system and personalization of
the new software platform.
