Placer County is a beautiful place to live and work. Stretching from the suburban outskirts of the Sacramento Valley to the mountains of the North Lake Tahoe region, quality of life in Placer County is truly the key to its attractiveness. Recreational prospects abound in the County’s numerous rivers, lakes, state parks and ski resorts. Three vibrant suburban communities offer world-class shopping and dining, cultural activities, and the chance to tee off at one of several championship golf courses. The foothills, home to the world-famous Gold Country, offer well-stocked rivers and tree-lined lakes. This distinctive area gives residents the opportunity to explore the lifestyle of country living with big city convenience while bringing them closer to nature and surrounding them with history.
Placer County’s Administrative Services department is seeking a Senior Web Developer. Primary responsibilities will be maintaining, patching, upgrading and enhancing Placer County’s public-facing and internal websites and leading the web team’s ongoing and future efforts. SiteCore and SharePoint are two primary mediums for external and internal websites, respectively, at Placer County. There are also some secondary application-specific websites that are developed in Microsoft’s .Net platform and the web team is responsible for maintaining and branding these sites on as-needed basis.
The ideal candidate will have extensive web development and responsive web design experience primarily in SharePoint and Microsoft’s .Net platforms. SiteCore is a very desired but optional skill to have for this position. Competency in the following areas is desired for this position as well:
Under general direction, performs advanced, specialized work of professional nature, utilizing skills that require technical expertise and an understanding of complex analytical procedures and systems processes, including network operating systems, analysis of complex business processes and requirements and the development of applications; network infrastructure; and database management; while working with a significant amount of independent authority and judgment.
