Libraries today have so much more than just books, but unfortunately a lot of patrons don’t know everything that libraries own and everything that libraries can do for them. At ByWater Solutions, we are trying to change that by helping to connect patrons to all of the unique content that libraries have, all while creating a modern, user friendly interface that patrons love to use! ByWater Solutions is a small and close knit group of technology specialists who work in a fast paced and family oriented environment that places a great deal of attention on quality of life and satisfaction with helping set up libraries for success. Aspen Discovery is a quickly growing open source discovery layer with strong roots (in development for over 10 years!) and a diverse group of library partners. We are innovating in a number of areas and are actively working with our partners to constantly improve the software and our implementations, all while providing world class support. Aspen Discovery is a great chance to work on software that can truly make a difference in people’s lives by providing equal access to a wide variety of information to everyone. As a developer with our Aspen Discovery Department you will have the opportunity to work on a wide variety of projects and challenges. Depending on your past experience, some of the possible areas you might work on include: Tracking issues that libraries find through the code to determine the root cause of their questions. Building and revising functionality in the Aspen Discovery front end using a combination of PHP, JavaScript, and CSS. Building and revising functionality in the Aspen Discovery back end using Java, MySQL/MariaDB and Solr. Working on a mobile application for Aspen Discovery using React and PHP.

Participating in the Aspen Community. We want you to have fun, be challenged, and be able to contribute in several areas from day one. The more areas you are comfortable in the better!
