The Center for Diabetes Technology (CDT) at the University of Virginia is seeking a Data Systems Developer 2 or 3 to join our team in Charlottesville, VA. The Data Systems Developer supports clinical research efforts through the design, build, test, maintenance, and integration of in-house and external applications and systems. Primary assignments are in support of clinical research projects and business operations. The Data Systems Developer works closely with research coordinators, data operations specialists, programmers, and engineers to provide system support.

Data Systems Developer employees support the stability, integrity, and efficient operation of the in-house information systems that support core university functions. This is achieved by developing, monitoring, maintaining, supporting, and optimizing software and associated hardware and operating systems. They provide functional and empirical analyses related to the design, development, and implementation of systems, including hardware, utility software, development software, and diagnostic software. They also provide system integration and security plans and implementation.

CDT was originally established in 2010 in association with the departments of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences, Behavioral Sciences and Endocrinology and the School of Engineering, and during 2017, was formally established as an independent center. CDT has pursued a path to advance the use of technology, including analytics, to allow improved management, monitoring, and therapies for patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Now, CDT is a recognized world leader in the technological treatment of diabetes and a hub of an international research network of leading U.S. institutions (Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Mayo Clinic, Mt. Sinai School of Medicine) and worldwide groups in Italy, France, Holland, and Argentina.
