FULL STACK ENGINEER

As a UW employee, you have a unique opportunity to change lives on our campuses, in our state and around the world. UW employees offer their boundless energy, creative problem-solving skills and dedication to build stronger minds and a healthier world.

UW faculty and staff also enjoy outstanding benefits, professional growth opportunities and unique resources in an environment noted for diversity, intellectual excitement, artistic pursuits and natural beauty.

The University of Washington is one of the world’s preeminent public universities in impact and funding. Since 1972, the UW has continued to receive more externally sponsored research funding than any other U.S. public university, and we are one of the few universities in the U.S. with total research funding nearing two billion. That funding drives crucial, ground-breaking research that transforms lives around the globe.

In the Office of Research at UW, we take pride in creating an outstanding climate of support for UW researchers that helps them compete and succeed. However, research administration and regulation is growing in complexity by the day. Our mission in the Office of Research Information Services (ORIS) is to reduce that administrative burden by streamlining and automating information services so researchers can spend more time researching.

The Full-Stack Engineer will ensure efficient delivery and effective support for University research by building and supporting some of UW’s most visible web properties and critical software services. The person in this position will be developing and maintaining web sites, web applications, shared components and/or services to support award-winning faculty and staff in performing administrative activities such as submission of funding applications for consideration, routing them electronically for approval, managing detailed multi-year budgets for grant and contract proposals, and more. The applications built in ORIS help to make administrative tasks clear and easy to complete, foster collaboration and efficiency through seamless integration with other systems and processes, and guide researchers through end-to-end research lifecycle processes.
