• Have experience building, from the ground up, a secure public web site ( E.g. Health Insurance Exchange, Insurance portal, etc.)
• Have experience in architecture, design, and implementation of a private cloud solution
• Our preference would be an open source stack, but we are willing to listen
• Have a knowledge of best practices for maintaining and supporting the cloud infrastructure
• Be very focused on security and scalability

Basically, we need to build a secure public facing 24x7 available web site that can easily scale (e.g. when a hurricane hits, goes from 10 users an hour to 5,000 users an hour). We are looking to find the best experienced people at setting these up, and “buy” their expertise to ensure the hardware, architecture, design, and frameworks are solid and able to support rapid growth.

• Java shop using Windows but would consider Linux.
• Could also be additional development work outside of this scope.

From Class of 2015 Is Finding Work:

Among majors, employment rates varied considerably. Computer science graduates had the highest standard, full-time employment rates (72 percent), followed by business (66 percent) and engineering graduates (62 percent). Biology majors had the lowest rates (28 percent), just under philosophy (33 percent) and physical sciences majors (34 percent). Those disparities also show up in starting salaries. At $69,214, computer science graduates were making the most money. Theology graduates, at $30,584, were making the least.

It also notes that CS majors are starting their own companies, rather than getting a job with a big company, more often that in 2014.

Graduate-level and advanced undergraduate-level student programmers are encouraged to apply. Required Technical Skills:

• For the front-end developer, experience in HTML, CSS, Javascript, and PHP are required.
• For the back-end developer, experience in PHP, MySQL, and some sort of scripting are required.
• For both, comfort with the Linux command line and working in headless server/ssh environments are required (we run Debian workstations and a Red Hat server).

Recommended Technical Skills: While not required, familiarity with the Django web framework, the git versioning system, and Docker container management may be useful for this project. Schedule, Pay, and Other Details: As a grant-funded project, this project has a definite start and end dates of July 2016-Sept 2017. Applicants should expect to work 20 hours/week during the summer and 10 hours/week during the academic year. Pay rate is $15-$18/hour, depending on experience.
