We are looking for a Senior Java Developer to join the UI / Infrastructure team of six Java and JavaScript developers at EuPathDB, an established academic project of 30+ developers and biologists. EuPathDB specializes in high visibility web sites that integrate diverse large-scale biological datasets relevant to global infectious disease (see, e.g., PlasmoDB.org and ClinEpiDB.org). The Senior Java Developer will collaboratively design and implement major Java back-end components for globally important scientific websites. Co-design and evolve a large-scale, high performance query engine, data mining, and data transformation infrastructure.

Create quality code, modular designs and clean APIs, using external frameworks as needed. Actively share design ideas on a daily basis with a team of committed, talented developers. Bring an interest in exploring new technologies. Optionally, work with biologists to help translate complex scientific use cases into effective tools and interfaces. Combine the advantages of an academic environment with the rigor of developing a production system. Work in an intellectually challenging yet relaxed environment. Enjoy flexible work hours and excellent vacation, tuition, health and retirement benefits. Work on a resource that makes a difference in the health of millions of people.
