FullStack Web Developer for Scientific Applications

Kitware • Clifton Park, NY • 1h ago

What if your full-stack skills could help advance cancer research, model climate impacts, or combat human trafficking, instead of adding an AI chatbot to a legacy codebase? At Kitware, you won't be building yet another SaaS dashboard. You'll work in small, autonomous teams on greenfield projects that tackle real scientific and societal challenges, using a wide breadth of technologies across the full stack. Kitware's mission is to advance science and make the world a better place through open-source software. We collaborate with top universities, national research labs, and government agencies on R&D projects with outsized real-world impact. Our tools are used by millions: CMake is ubiquitous in C++, and our other platforms are deeply impactful in domains like medical imaging, geospatial intelligence, and scientific computing. We're a 100% employee-owned company (ESOP) with no outside investors, fewer than 200 employees, and an average employee tenure of six years. Our leadership has a technical background, and there's no layer of middle management between you and the problems you're solving. We're not chasing VC rounds or seeking an exit. We're building software that matters, for the long haul. Join us and build the software that makes science work. ABOUT THE DATA & ANALYTICS TEAMOur Mission: We connect people with data by enriching it with computation and making it visible, discoverable, analyzable, and shareable for maximum reach and impact. We build Python and TypeScript web applications that help scientists, analysts, and researchers work with their data. Our projects range from large-scale data management platforms to custom visualization tools to open-source libraries used across the scientific community. Our team is roughly 20 engineers, and most projects are staffed with two to four people. Values That Guide Us:- Engineer empowerment.We empower our engineers to directly address customer needs by trusting them to make decisions in their day-to-day work, seek knowledge to grow their technical skills, and engage each other in teaching and discussion. We eschew micromanagement.- Pursuit of passions.With an entrepreneurial mindset, we support each other in finding opportunities where fun meets fundable. We do our best when we love what we do.- Solutions over software.We prioritize delivering transformative and sustainable solutions over specific technologies or software artifacts. We tailor our technical approach to the needs and circumstances of our customers, maximizing the chance of customer success and our own satisfaction.- Focus on the important.We focus on the most pressing and important problems, not just those that are the easiest to solve or most politically palatable. We share the same objectives, so candor doesn't feel personal. Key Tools in Our Stack: Python, TypeScript, Django, Vue.js, PostgreSQL, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, Heroku, Terraform, Ansible, Pytest, Sentry. Projects We Work On: There is a lot that we're building at Kitware. Here are some examples that give a sense of the problems we tackle:- Data management and analysis platforms:Building web applications that help researchers and analysts manage, query, and derive insight from complex datasets across domains like health care, geospatial intelligence, and climate science.- Domain-specific applications:Building custom applications for collaborators, including national labs, universities, medical device manufacturers, and government agencies, for web and mobile platforms.- Interactive data visualization:Creating browser-based tools that make large-scale scientific data explorable and understandable, from medical imaging to environmental modeling.- Open-source libraries and tools:Extending and maintaining Kitware's portfolio of widely used open-source projects, improving their web integrations and developer experience.
