You should have a solid understanding of application development, relational databases, accessibility, and best practices for privacy and security. Proficiency in PHP, SQL, JavaScript (and related libraries and frameworks), CSS, and web accessibility standards is expected. You should be flexible and willing to learn and adapt to new programming languages as technology evolves. A strong grasp of UI/UX principles and WCAG 2.1, in addition to experience with APIs, system integrations, and responsive web design, is essential. Familiarity with data visualization tools such as Microsoft Power BI is preferred. Additionally, effective project management, planning, and organizational skills, along with excellent verbal and written communication abilities for technical and non-technical audiences, are critical.

I will maintain and improve existing web applications to adapt to changing user needs, ensure security, and enhance both performance and functionality. I will also develop both front-end and back-end components of web services and applications, collaborating with functional offices and the AIS team to support customized applications, including the Ellucian Colleague ERP and related systems. Additionally, I will create interactive dashboards and data visualizations to aid decision-making and reporting. I will evaluate and recommend system solutions, comparing custom development with off-the-shelf options. Partnering with Marketing to enhance the College’s public-facing website through dynamic, accessible, and standards-compliant code will also be a key part of my duties. I will supervise and mentor student developers, supporting instructional and educational technology projects, and design and implement backend architecture, including server-side scripting, databases, and systems integration.
