* Design, develop, modify, debug and evaluates applications for the acquisition, storage, and retrieval of earthquake data.

* Develop Application Programming Interface (API) code for data cataloging in databases, data access, transformation, and distribution mechanisms.

* Performs unit testing of developed software adhering to standards, best practices, debugging, and validation of features developed.

* Perform code review and analyses of the supportability, reliability, scalability, and maintainability of real-­time earthquake monitoring, seismic data processing, and dissemination applications to ensure they are optimized for modern computing environments and functionality, considering historic, current, and emerging trends in earthquake research, experience, and advice of leading experts in the area.
