About the position:

The Senior Intranet Developer works with other employees in the company to improve the effectiveness and speed with which IBR can deliver its services.

The Senior Intranet Developer will be responsible for maintaining, improving, and further developing our Intranet. They are also responsible for working with the rest of the company to implement effective processes and training to make use of the Intranet.

The Senior Intranet Developer will work on the whole chain of development: from conception to implementation to maintenance. Often, the solution to the problems will not involve code at all.

IBR uses the intranet to maintain vast amounts of company information, such as formulas, nutritional information, project and task information, and so on.

The Intranet is built on OpenACS, a web application framework (see what is OpenACS). Experience with OpenACS is helpful but not necessary.

The Senior Intranet Developer will also be responsible for some work on client websites.

After some discussion, we are opening this position to less senior developers as well. If we find an excellent candidate with less experience (around 1 year of experience instead of 3+), then we'll consider them.
