The Denver Art Museum is seeking an experienced developer to assist in the development of an online collections access system. We are opening up our encyclopedic collection of art and cultural heritage objects to the public, and we need someone who is excited about helping us pursue our mission of enriching people's lives through the arts and by establishing connections between individuals and our shared cultural history.
This is a contract position. You will be part of a team of professionals from various disciplines working to bring our wealth of collections data to the web in a freely accessible, searchable and browseable site. This collections site will need to be able to integrate tightly with the DAM's other web properties, enabling us to draw on the rich information available there for use in other applications. We're looking primarily for a back-end developer who possesses an understanding of front-end development and isn't afraid to dive into HTML/CSS/Javascript when necessary, though we also have a front-end developer to help.

What we expect from you: * Attention to detail and long-term maintenance-oriented design thinking. * Ability to self-manage multiple tasks and deliver results on schedule * Excellent written and verbal communication skills and ability to work with a multi-disciplinary team * Expert advice and guidance. We're looking for someone who wants to make meaningful contributions to the final product. * Offsite work is fine, but must be available for scheduled face-to-face meetings for progress updates and design discussions Qualifications: * Bachelors or equivalent work experience in development-related degree program * Prior experience in completed projects and team-based efforts * Professional-level knowledge of standards-based HTML, CSS, Javascript and PHP * Experience with REST and SOAP API development * Experience with mobile-friendly/responsive development * Experience with Drupal a big plus * Experience with Elasticsearch not required but a plus.
