Hi everyone,
--
-- We're hiring a software developer. Or a computer programmer, if you prefer that term. Someone who can write good, fast, trustworthy web applications. Someone who knows their way around a command line. Someone who loves learning and innovating. If you want to use these skills to help improve health care in the United States, this is the job for you.
We're a nonprofit trade association, and our members are the college and university programs that educate physician assistants (PAs). The PA field is expanding quickly, with many new PA programs starting every year. This kind of rapid growth requires a national online infrastructure to help our members share ideas and techniques, keep up-to-date with association news, and work together on big projects. Your job is to build that infrastructure.
In the first year, you can expect to work on projects that include:
- Working with our Applicant Services team to port our directory of PA programs (http://directory.paeaonline.org) to WordPress
- Working with our Research team to develop a web-based reporting system for members to query national data
- Working with our Student Assessment team to write a web service that pushes daily exam questions to our mobile app
- Working with our Academic Affairs team to integrate a learning management system with our websites and membership system
Our company uses Macs on the desktop and Linux servers in the cloud. We're going all-in with WordPress for all our websites and most web applications, so you need to know your way around WordPress (and PHP in general) really well. Deploying and managing the servers will be your responsibility, so you need to be effective on the Linux command line. And we have some data analysis projects on deck, so you need to be comfortable setting up databases and writing SQL queries.
You'll report directly to the Chief Communications Officer and work with a team of graphic designers, data analysts, writers, and editors on projects with some aggressive deadlines. You'll be responsible for the whole software lifecycle, from soup to nuts — requirements gathering to programming to maintenance. And you'll be working across the company, with both staff and members, helping turn their ideas into functional applications.
It's not an easy job, but it's an important one. Your work will directly support PA educators, increasing the quality of the PA education, and ultimately expanding and improving the health care provided to millions of people across the country. It's a lot more meaningful than writing code to sell t-shirts online.
Qualifications
If you can accomplish the above, you've got what it takes. There's no specific educational background required. Experience in the nonprofit sector would be helpful in understanding the people and organization you'll be creating software for, but it's not strictly necessary.
Pay & Benefits
This is a full-time position in Washington DC, 2 blocks from the Gallery Place metro station. Pay starts at $85,000, with a bunch of benefits, including excellent health insurance, flexible work hours, and remote work options.
