Research Software Engineer

The is a founding institution within the newly formed College of Global Futures, ASU's center of experiential learning, engaged research, and real-world problem-solving dedicated to the present and future well-being of our planet. We currently have openings for an entry-level full-time research software engineer to help support a diverse, international community of interdisciplinary scientists and researchers who use computational methods and research software to better understand and adapt to our rapidly changing world.

We build and maintain research software, web applications and science gateways that support :

Our mission is to help our diverse, interdisciplinary researchers do better science for a better global future with robust and maintainable research software that evolves alongside our scientific understanding of these complex adaptive systems.

We are looking for software developers that value clean code and maintainable, well-documented, codebases and have some experience with full stack web application development. We are committed to open source and our technology stacks often include JavaScript / TypeScript, VueJS, Python, Julia, R, Git, PostgreSQL, Linux, and Docker. We are less concerned with how well you know these particular technologies and more interested in your ability to become comfortable and fluent in them with accountability and ownership over your own development with support from our team. We expect basic foundational skills in computer science and software engineering but also recognize that the most appropriate solutions to problems aren't always technical in nature. We appreciate diverse viewpoints and mindsets and are committed to recruiting and retaining staff, students, and faculty from groups that have historically been underrepresented in the sciences.
