News / Position Posting: VATUSA Developer
« on: March 31, 2022, 07:24:45 PM »
Hello!
The VATUSA Technical Manager is currently seeking applications for the role of VATUSA Developer.
The VATUSA Dev Team is being expanded to include technical projects outside of the current web services it already maintains. Therefore, we are seeking additional developers to help lead and develop these projects. As such, the requirements for this role are very loosely defined, and anyone with technical knowledge is encouraged to apply. Instead of the usual structure of a job posting with skills/qualifications, I want to give a high level overview of what projects/technologies the Division is working on.
Technologies/Languages used:
- Docker/Kubernetes
- Github Actions
- PHP/MySQL/Laravel
- Javascript/Typescript/React
- Golang
- Moodle
Projects:
- Main VATUSA site (Laravel)
- VATUSA API (Laravel)
- VATUSA Discord Bot (Discord.js)
- ULS (Golang)
- VATUSA Academy (Moodle)
Outside of the listed projects, I am aware of a few really cool projects that exist within an ARTCC (or a few ARTCCs) that the entire Division would benefit from. For that reason, if you are a developer or project lead for any of these projects, and would like to work with me and the Division, I encourage you to apply.
If you are proficient in a language or technology listed above, I encourage you to apply. If you are proficient in a language or technology outside of those listed above, I still want to hear from you. Languages and technologies come and go, but the underlying skills of knowing them don't.
The only hard qualification for this position is that you must be a VATSIM member in good standing. Some ATC rating is preferred, but not required.
If you are interested, please submit the following to a.robison[at]vatsim.net:
- Name and CID.
- Brief overview of your tech experience (ideally no more than 1 page).
- Your Github/Gitlab/Bitbucket/etc username or links to your portfolio of work.
Every applicant will receive a response. Those possessing skills that would contribute to the advancement of the Division tech stack will be moved forward to a brief tech screening.
This is an additional duty assignment. Candidates who choose to accept the position will remain within their home VATUSA facility. This is a persistent posting, applications always accepted.

I thought single airport FNOs weren't allowed anymore? So you are just breaking all of the guidelines that we worked so hard to make happen. Awesome.

USA Division Updates / Re: 2021 Mid Year Update
« on: July 06, 2021, 12:25:53 PM »It is no different than VATSIM Golden Mic Award, the Iron Mic Award, or the rank of positions by callsign that is on most VATSIM statistic sites.
The difference there is that Iron/Golden Mic are fun, friendly competitions. You are presenting this data as a performance metric, and then telling ARTCCs at the bottom to "do better" (a direct quote from my RM).
No I didn't. I said "Uptime ranking" I didn't assign a value judgement to the rankings at all. I just reposted the rankings at the beginning of this thread based on roster size (as of March 2021) without Observers.
Direct quote from my RM by email: "...I really think you guys can/should do better". RMs represent the division, and thereby you, no? That sounds like you are considering this a performance metric. Or maybe you and your RMs aren't on the same page? Either way, there is a disconnect here that needs to be fixed.

I, for one, welcome our newly doubled ZBW overlords. The fact that ZLA is missing is also a delight to ZAB controllers everywhere
