We are going to be doing some backend development! We are building out a public data center to back the portal, and to power interactive python notebooks for education and citizen science. We're not currently hiring for that position, but when we are, we will be sure to post it here on HN.
In the meantime, feel free to reach out to me on email (cbanek@lsst.org)!
It looks like this is a very (almost completely) front-end heavy position. Any plans/needs for backend development?
