[Hiring] Developer @Johns Hopkins University

Role Description

We are seeking a Developer at METRC for a part-time, entry-level role embedded in our Data Engineering team. You will work under the direct guidance of our Senior Cloud Engineer and Developer II on the maintenance of existing research software and the support of new development efforts. This role is an opportunity to grow inside that environment from the ground up.

Domain experience in clinical research is a plus but is not expected. If you are a developer with foundational skills in R and/or Python and a willingness to learn, you will find plenty of meaningful work here. We use Basecamp internally rather than JIRA; familiarity with either is welcome but neither is required.

As with our other developer roles, our software design patterns and development cycles naturally follow the rhythms of study life cycles. You will be working on software that needs to remain functional and extensible across studies that may not yet be designed. We use a DataOps methodology rooted in Agile principles. At the Developer I level, your primary contribution will be in supporting and learning within that framework under close supervision, with increasing independence over time.

Requirements
