**About the role**
ORA (Oxford University Research Archive) is looking for a developer to join
its development team to provide public access to the University’s research
output: showcasing Oxford’s research and enabling academics to share their
discoveries with the rest of the world.
As a full-stack developer you will be part of the team responsible for
developing new features for end users, designing new systems and products,
maintaining the ORA system, and improving system performance. Our work is
focused on providing fast and efficient public access to research, ensuring
the long-term preservation of digital content, supporting the Open Access
Collections team, enabling academics within Oxford to make their research
available, and working with partner institutions such as the British Library
to share data.
You will be using open-source application software such as Ruby on Rails,
Blacklight and Samvera repository solutions. You will join a thriving open-
source community, with partners across the globe.
You will be joining our sprint-based Agile-focused development team under the
direction and mentorship of the ORA Development Team Lead, based in the
Bodleian offices in Oxford, with opportunities for remote working. The role is
flexible based on experience and would be an ideal post for an early-career
developer looking to take the next step, or for a more experienced developer
looking to join a diverse and fast-moving team environment.
The role is a permanent, full-time position, working 37.5 hours per week, but
there is an opportunity for part-time or shared work patterns with a minimum
of 30 hours per week. There will also be some opportunity to work remotely.
**About You**
You will be a developer who is committed to open research and the sharing of
knowledge. You will be educated to degree level (or equivalent), and must have
experience in working with object orientated frameworks and with web
development. You will be someone who is used to working alongside technical
and non-technical colleagues, and be an excellent user-focused problem solver
and communicator.
**What We Offer**
As an employer, we genuinely care about our employees’ wellbeing and this is
reflected in the range of benefits that we offer including:
• An excellent contributory pension scheme
• 38 days of annual leave
• A comprehensive range of childcare services
• Family leave schemes
• Cycle loan scheme
• Discounted bus travel and Season Ticket travel loans
More information is available at **https://hr.admin.ox.ac.uk/staff-benefit**
**Diversity**
Our staff and students come from all over the world, and we proudly promote a
friendly and inclusive culture. Diversity is positively encouraged, through
diverse groups and champions, as well as a number of family-friendly policies,
such as the right to apply for flexible working and support for staff
returning from periods of extended absence, for example, shared parental
leave.
**How to apply**
You will be required to upload your CV and a supporting statement as part of
your online application. Your supporting statement should list each of the
essential and desirable selection criteria, as listed in the job description,
and explain how you meet each one. CVs or supporting statements submitted on
their own will not be considered.
We aim to provide a supportive working environment and are happy to discuss
training and professional development opportunities. The Chair of this
recruitment panel will be Tom Wrobel, Software Development Team Lead, who can
