Job Description
The efforts of the Senior Applications Programmer will be assigned to work on the NSF-funded project AsterixDB. ASTERIX is a collaborative project at UC Riverside and UC Irvine that has led to the development of AsterixDB, an open source highly scalable big data Management System. AsterixDB stores, indexes, and manages semi-structured data, e.g., much like MongoDB, but it supports a full query language with the expressiveness of SQL and more. Unlike analytics engines such as Apache Hive or Spark, it stores and manages data, so it can use knowledge of data partitioning and index availability to avoid scanning data sets to process queries. Core features of the system include a NoSQL-style data model based on extending JavaScript Object Notation (JSON); a declarative query language (SQL++) for semi-structured data; a query execution engine, Apache Hyracks, for partitioned-parallel query execution; partitioned data storage and indexing for efficient ingestion of new data; support for querying external data as well as data stored in AsterixDB; a rich set of data types, including spatial, temporal, and textual data; indexing via B+trees, R-trees, and inverted keyword indexes; and, transactional support akin to that of other NoSQL stores. The Senior Applications Programmer will serve as a non-research staff member for UCR/UCI's AsterixDB project. He or she will report to the project's lead PI and will work closely with other faculty and research staff members associated with the project at UCR, UCI, and elsewhere. The holder of this role will also interact with external users of AsterixDB in order to provide them with appropriate technical support. The holder of this particular role will also be a key liaison between AsterixDB and related projects and companies in the industry.

Please Note: The expected duration of this position is for one year with the possibility of being extended to two years contingent upon grant funding.

The budgeted salary is no higher than $122k/year.

Applicants must have current work authorization when accepting a UCR staff position. Currently, we are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment Visa for staff.
