Dojo developer needed for City of New York

The New York City Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications (DoITT) is currently developing a mapping and analysis application for integration with Oracle’s Siebel Business Analytics. The application relies heavily on dijit widgets, the dojo event framework and dojo xhr for the user interface. Mapping data is provided by an OGC certified WFS by GeoServer as well as a basemap tiling server (similar to Google Maps).

Please visit the NYC dojo project page for details about the application. The page contains screen clips and links to source code, widget demos and tests!

The first release of this project is scheduled for intranet usage in January 08, after which the project will continue towards a June launch on www.nyc.gov.

The DoITT City-wide GIS team is looking to hire an experience dojo developer to come on board immediately to assist in completing the June release.

The qualified candidate must have extensive experience in all aspects of javascript, DHTML and AJAX.
Experienced in dojo is greatly desired, especially:

  • writing custom widgets for cross-browser and cross-platform use
  • D.O.H. unit testing (if you don't write unit tests - don't even think of applying)
  • the dojo event framework
  • dojo xhr
  • the dojo package system
  • custom builds and script compression

Experience in the following technologies is also desired but not required:

  • J2EE
  • The Spring Framework
  • XML/XSL
  • SVG
  • VML
  • OGC WFS and WMS
  • GeoTools and GeoServer
  • Oracle Spatial
  • ESRI ArcGIS Desktop and Server

Remote access can be made available, but on site work is preferred. The successful candidate will likely subcontract to Accenture as part of the city's 311 call center project and may have the opportunity for continued work with the city's GIS team. Compensation is very competitive.
