This seems like the longest of long shots, but is anyone hiring/know of anyone who's hiring systems engineers or architects in Amarillo, Texas?

I'll be moving up there in August for family, and I need to find a job as soon as possible. Dice is pretty dry and Indeed is full of truck driving jobs.

I'd also be interested in any pure-remote positions available. My background is in Windows systems engineering, and I've done a fair bit of platform-level architecture in the past couple of years, working for a major hosting company.

JOB POSTING

We're looking for a web developer at a research center at UW Madison:

https://www.ohr.wisc.edu/Weblisting/External/PVLSummaryApply.aspx?pvl_num=86880


NOTE: The deadline is tomorrow, but if you're interested in the job and can get the an app in this week, go ahead and submit one. It's even possible that submissions later than that would be considered. In the past, we have had much more trouble getting good applicants than we have had winnowing down the field, so don't be shy about applying if you think you're interested.


What we want
We're more interested in getting knowledgeable and talented programmers than we are in finding someone who checks off every buzzword exactly. Some web development experience is pretty important to have, but it doesn't have to be in Rails, as long as you are willing to learn it with a minimum of supervision. We just don't want to have to start from scratch explaining what a web server is, how MVC works, or how to use a relational database.

If you have some science background relevant to the center's mission, that can help. In the past, we've considered programmers with a little bit of science knowledge, and scientists with some programming experience. I'm not sure if we have a preference this time around, so don't feel like relative weakness in one area will exclude you from serious consideration.


$
The minimum pay is just that - the minimum. If you have some experience and decent qualifications, you can certainly ask for more than that. However, it is a university job, so you won't be getting rich. The benefits are still pretty good, all things considered, though our current governor seems hell-bent on making public employees' jobs/lives suck.


The work
The center exists to do some pretty cool science, but our job has been to do fairly mundane software support. It's possible that some actual scientific programming will come down the pipe in the future, but I've been here almost 4 years, and I've never had to bone up on my college biology for work. Our main project has involved creating an app to track results file metadata. Our secondary app is sort of an inventory system, and the developer who just left made a third app that seems a little more involved, but I haven't hacked at it yet, since it may eventually be folded into another app from a partner institution.


The tools
It's an academic environment, so there's a decent amount of flexibility. The IT group only officially supports Windows and Mac, but I use a PC, and somewhat recently added a Ubuntu partition. I don't think I've booted into Windows in 2 or 3 months, but if you nuke your hard drive or can't find a printer driver for Linux, the IT group won't want to hear about it. You could probably get a Mac if you wanted, but I haven't tried.

All of our development to date has been in Ruby on Rails. I don't know of any plans (or reason) to change that. We recently upgraded our two main applications to Rails 4. There's no specific plan to upgrade to version 5, but we'll need to look at it eventually.

We use git for all of our source control. We were using SVN for much of it until early this year. We use Gitlab for most issue tracking, though one app is still on Trac. I'd be very open to trying out other tracking tools - neither of these really thrills me.


The work environment
So far, this has been a pretty relaxed work environment. 40 - 45 hours/week seems to be plenty to keep up with things.

I've liked working here, but there is some current drama within the group and the larger organization. Our group has a new manager, so nobody is quite sure what he'll be like (I've spent maybe 20 minutes with him total since he started last week). Further, the center is funded by a Department of Energy grant, and the recent grant renewal announcement had some surprises in it. So, the center may or may not exist after the current grant expires (another year or two), and if it does, it may not be doing the same research. That said, there are often several other development jobs available on campus, and this can be a good foot in the door for other opportunities (in fact, you'd be replacing someone who just bolted for another job on campus). Another possible source of drama: there has been some rumbling about making all of our code explicitly open source, and/or opening up our apps to external use. However, it's not clear that our funding agreement allows for this sort of thing, or that our code is likely to be useful to anybody else.

Right now, I'm the only developer on the team. So, the successful applicant will be working with me, under the new supervisor. There are sometimes student hourlies around, too, but I'm really trying to put a stop to that. I don't anticipate the team growing much in the foreseeable future*, so if you're not comfortable on a small team, well, this job won't excite you.

Due to cutbacks, our QA person is leaving this year, and won't be replaced. So, part of the new person's job will be doing QA on my code, and part of mine will be doing QA on theirs. It sucks, but the decision has been made.

So far, developers have had offices instead of cubes, but each office has two people (and a window). Whomever we hire will probably get put in the empty office next door to mine, though I can't promise that it'll be empty by the time they start. The building is new (we moved in in January of 2013) and pretty nice - very well lit, open, and airy. We share the building with some of the lab techs and scientists, so you get to see and interact with a variety of different people, not just other developers.

As I said, I've enjoyed working here, and being on campus is really nice. For the right person, this could be a pretty sweet gig.


* One way it could happen is if this team and the LIMS programming team were folded into one, bigger programming team. I hope this won't be the case, but it's one of the rumors I've heard floating around of late.

I started at more than 15K above that minimum. I wish they would just give the whole salary range on these stupid position announcements, so at least you know what's possible. For example, I applied for one last year with a range from ~40K to ~115K. (They offered me within $100/year of what I'm making here, so it didn't make sense to switch.)

Edit: But you're right, that this isn't a good job for money-driven workaholics looking to retire at age 50. If you want to be involved in doing science for the public good, want to have a life outside of work, and want to make a decent wage while doing it, then it may be for you.

That makes sense. But yes, might get some more candidates if it wasn't just a minimum showing.

Hah. There's a job posting about 20-30 minutes away from me looking for an Epic DBA for a hospital. I interviewed, but it's in bumfuck nowhere and it's 100% support - I'm trying to get away from support and into analytics myself.

They were willing to pay top-dollar though.

80-90k for someone with no knowledge on Epic (myself). Not sure about pay for people with real experience.

I guess it can't hurt to toss it out here too. I'm getting worried at the financial health of my employer and extremely over taking on more and more responsibilities with no recognition.

...the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt. —Bertrand Russell

My experience: 5+ years of all sorts of coding. Majority of that time spent doing a wide variety of in-house work but past 2 years a lot of freelance stuff.
What I'm NOT looking for: A 9 to 5.
Where I live: St. Louis.
Where I'm looking: Anywhere I guess. As a freelancer, we work out specs, sign a contract, I deliver a finished project. Which really means...I don't need to be local to you.
When I can start: Pretty much any time...depending on length of project.
Can be reached via: PM or my username at contriving.net.
What I'm looking for: Freelance shortish jobs.

I've been building lots of REST API's for apps and sites the past 12 months though I didn't really set out to get that kind of work. I enjoy it though so if your app or site needs such a thing I'm your guy!

I also enjoy building web sites with React + Redux. I'm not a designer, but I can certainly make a nice enough looking thing with whatever frontend framework like Bootstrap, Foundation, material-ui, etc. Or I can do the "frontend-backend"...aka build the Redux portion of a React app. I've done this type of work a couple of times recently. I build the backend on Django + DRF and the Redux portion of the frontend to interact with the server backend and the company that hired me handed it off to their internal designers to build components on top of. Worked out well.

I've also done a decent amount of web scraping work as well as automating line of business apps with tools like AutoIT.

Education: Bachelor's in Computer Science
My Experience: 4 years as HMI (read: UI) developer for machine tool manufacturer. Working on a very small team so I have a large role in defining the interface between the visualization layer, coded in .NET, and the control layer.
What I'm looking for: Full-time developer position in a company where software development is a primary focus/end product. Up-to-date dev tools and methodologies. Diverse work environment.
What I'm NOT looking for: Startup culture
Where I'm looking: Boston, MA or surrounding area
When can I start: Mid-September
Requirements: Full-time
Can be reached via: harrison (dot) paine (at) gmail

Current position is developing the HMI for a 2D laser cutting machine, which is about a 20/80 split between UI and backend development. Most of the backend work consists of parsing and analyzing CNC code, managing communication between the machine and its peripherals via various interfaces (OPC, file transfer over TCP, other semi-proprietary protocols), and developing internal tools. UI development consisted mostly of kludging around our parent company's Windows Forms based UI framework. 95% of my work has been in C#/.NET with some small forays into C++/COM interop, so that would be preferred, but absolutely not a requirement.

Would this thread be optimal place for someone seeking a SaaS sales position?

Wasn't sure since I didn't see any of those on the spreadsheet or in recent posts.

Education: Self-taught
My Experience: 2 years on-site for big box store, 2 year doing repair work at a mom-n-pop place, 2 years helpdesk at a 200 person co (half users split between 2 offices, other half remote)
What I'm looking for: Full time help-desk, growth potential
What I'm NOT looking for: [null]
Where I'm looking: Remote preferred, or Seattle/Dallas
When can I start: 2 weeks notice
Requirements: Full-time, standard benefits package
Can be reached via: PM or stuart@[username].com

I'm happy where I am but the helpdesk is overmanned, there's no growth potential in the company, and I want to escape CA. Remote/WFH would be preferred where I can move locations at my own pace, but a position in Seattle or Dallas would be acceptable as well.
