Software Heritage hiring a Paris-based front-end web developer



https://www.softwareheritage.org/2016/09/13/job-opportunity-front-end-web-developer/

Full-text repeated below.

Extra info relevant for debian-jobs: the Software Heritage software
stack is entirely Debian-based. The team is formed by many Debian
contributors and contributing upstream---to Debian and other FOSS
projects---is a team best practice.


Software Heritage is hiring: seeking a Paris-based full-time front-end web developer
====================================================================================

[Software Heritage](https://www.softwareheritage.org/) is an ambitious
nonprofit, entirely Free/Open Source Software (FOSS) project that aims at
collecting, organizing, preserving for the very long term, and sharing all
publicly available software in source code form, together with the
corresponding complete development history (e.g., from a Version Control
System) where available.  The Software Heritage archive already contains about
3 billion unique source code files and 650 million commits, retrieved from more
than 25 million software projects.

As part of our software sharing mission we are building a web front-end and a
web API that will allow to browse, search, and retrieve software available from
the Software Heritage archive. We are looking for someone to lead this
development effort, integrating it with the ongoing back-end development to
expand the Software Heritage archive.

As lead front-end web developer you'll primarily work with:

* Python 3
* HTML / CSS / JavaScript
* Flask
* jQuery
* Bootstrap
* PostgreSQL

A successful candidate will have strong web-development skills, a working
knowledge of human-computer interaction design, as well as a solid track record
of participation in existing FOSS projects and communities.

All the code will be
[developed openly and released under a FOSS license](https://www.softwareheritage.org/community/developers/),
usually copyleft (GPL3 or AGPL3).


Workplace and salary
--------------------

The job must be worked on-site at [Inria's Paris
headquarters](https://www.inria.fr/en/centre/paris).

The salary will be commensurate with experience and qualifications.


Application instruction
-----------------------

Applications must be submitted via email to
[hiring@softwareheritage.org](mailto:hiring@softwareheritage.org). The email
must contain the subject line "Front-End Web Developer". A complete application
should include:

* resume,
* cover letter, and
* links to any previous related work online.

All materials must be in a free format (such as plain text, PDF, or
OpenDocument, and not Microsoft Word). Email submissions that do not follow
these instructions will probably be overlooked.

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled.
The priority deadline is 31 Octobre 2016, 10:00 CEST.

Software Heritage is an equal opportunity employer and will not discriminate
against any employee or application for employment on the basis of race, color,
marital status, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, national origin,
handicap, or any other legally protected status. We value diversity in our
workplace.
