Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) | Software Developer | Copenhagen, Denmark | ONSITE, VISA, SALARY:615k DKK http://www.gbif.org/ http://www.gbif.org/
GBIF is an international organization and open-data research infrastructure, whose purpose is to make scientific biodiversity data available to all on the Internet.
In other words, like everyone else, we have cat pictures [1], but we also have a cat map [2], and we've started tracking when (and by whom) that data is cited [3].
We're looking for a software developer who will work on the systems behind GBIF.org: our data ingestion system, search indices, APIs, analytics, maps, configuration management, monitoring and so on. The source code for all this is on GitHub: https://github.com/gbif/ https://github.com/gbif/. No biology knowledge is needed — the other developers have this, so strong development and Linux skills are much more important.
The starting salary is 51268 DKK per month (almost €6900/mth) and is exempt from Danish tax. Staff are recruited on the broadest possible geographical basis, so a visa is no problem at all.

- busterarm 9y agoThe link to the pdf with your complete job description seems to be non-functional.
- MattBlissett 9y agoThanks for reporting, something very strange is happening here. I assume you can see other pages on http://www.gbif.org http://www.gbif.org? I see successful downloads of the PDF in the Varnish logs, and it is served from the same place as other static assets. Anyway, here's a copy: https://gbif.box.com/s/mi5h83nio5lnw2dfjzimar3u7dhp5loz https://gbif.box.com/s/mi5h83nio5lnw2dfjzimar3u7dhp5loz Or maybe it would work from our test site: http://www.gbif-uat.org/sites/default/files/documents/Advert_for_GBIF_Software_Developer_2017.pdf http://www.gbif-uat.org/sites/default/files/documents/Advert...
