The DAISY Consortium is looking to establish a long-term commitment in
order to expand its pool of dedicated software engineers. The proposed
full-time contract will offer an initial 12 months duration, but will be
subject to renewal based on successful completion of objectives.
The successful applicant will apply his/her ability to cope with a steep
learning curve, working with bleeding edge multimedia- and accessibility
standards as well as software design patterns. Although it is expected
that the holder will rapidly become autonomous, he/she will benefit from
the support of expert team-mates in a friendly professional environment.
The position holder will operate mostly in a remote context under tight
supervision, collaborating with a world-wide agile team.
