Job Opening: Web Programmer Analyst

Position: Web Programmer AnalystCompany: San Mateo County Community College DistrictLocation: Redwood City CA US

San Mateo County Community College District values the principles of diversity and equity. We provide our students with a rich and dynamic learning community that embraces differences, emphasizing collaboration and engaging students in and out of the classroom, encouraging them to realize their goals, and to become critical thinkers and socially responsible leaders.

The Web Programmer Analyst performs technical work involved in the design, development, and implementation of web-based applications. This position works with faculty, staff, administrators, and students to develop, grow, and implement impactful, cost-effective web and digital programs. Under supervision of the Director of Marketing, Communications & Public Relations, the position evaluates, develops, and implements a variety of moderately difficult web programs and systems, and analyzes web program problems to develop resolutions. Public contact is extensive and involves conferring with potential and existing users, vendors, and staff, faculty, administrators, and students about programming, web design and content needs. A high degree of independent judgment and creativity is required to independently perform assigned work following prescribed procedures and to apply those procedures to the work of user departments. Consequences of errors in judgment can be costly in employee time; however, management and procedural controls limit the risk of serious consequences. A Web Programmer Analyst can lead the work of other staff and student assistants as assigned.
