Job Description
The University of Nevada, Las Vegas invites applications for
Programmer, Administrative Services [R0151748]
ROLE of the POSITION
A Programmer in Administration Technology Services (ATS) provides high-level technical design, development, and support for a diverse portfolio of administrative systems. This role is responsible for the full lifecycle of applications governing Delivery Services, Parking & Transportation, and Telecommunications, as well as ATS-developed software like Central Billing.
Utilizing C#, .NET, SQL, and more, an ATS Programmer ensures that technical solutions align with the intended business use-case. This position requires a "security-by-design" approach, proficiency in Software Development Life Cycles (SDLC) and IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) frameworks, and the ability to communicate complex technical policies to departmental stakeholders.
In alignment with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF) and Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), the Director is responsible for the entire secure software development process, including being accountable for releasing software to production and delegating responsibilities as appropriate. Programmers are responsible for all other aspects of SDLCs, including participation in an annual review of tools, frameworks, and methodologies utilized within ATS to ensure alignment with governance, compliance, and best practices. In ATS, programming is a team-based exercise. While Programmers are not responsible for assigning or reviewing the work of Junior Programmers, they are expected to openly contribute to the growth of all members of the team.
This position is responsible for the technical integrity and support of systems within the following areas:
Delivery Services: Mail sorting/digitization, shipping management/last-mile delivery, and business asset lifecycle (tagging, surplus, and disposal).
Parking & Transportation: Parking management, License Plate Recognition (LPR), car counting systems, and permit payroll deduction integrations.
Telecommunications: Call tracking/accounting and service request systems for hardware and repair.
ATS Custom Solutions: Proprietary software such as Central Billing, and service agreements with departments outside of Administrative Services (TeamDynamix, Visual Lease, and Tuition Calculator).
To exceed expectations, an ATS Programmer must demonstrate:
Business Intent: Solutions solve the underlying operational problem, not just the technical request.
Security Leadership: Cybersecurity best practices are integrated into every design and clearly explained to all end-users.
Documentation Quality: System documentation exists, is maintained through regular reviews, and adheres to department change management standards.
PROFILE of the DEPARTMENT
Administration Technology Services (ATS) is a shared services support unit designed to serve the technical and organizational needs of UNLV Business Affairs Administration.
