About Us

Georgia Southern University is the state’s largest and most comprehensive center of higher learning south of Atlanta, and one of the most dynamic public universities in the Southeast.

Founded in 1906, Georgia Southern has grown from a single-purpose college into a Carnegie Doctoral/R2 institution with 149 degree programs at the bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral levels, serving 31,600 students from all 50 states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico and more than 100 nations.

Four distinct campuses extend Georgia Southern’s reach across the region: a 900-acre quintessential college campus in Statesboro, anchored by Georgian-style red-brick buildings set among oaks and pines; the Armstrong Campus in Savannah, minutes from historic downtown and a short drive from the beaches of Tybee Island; a modern, purpose-built facility in Hinesville serving local and military-affiliated students; and the East Georgia Campus in Swainsboro, an outdoor oasis nestled on a 385-acre pine forest, offering expanded pathways to higher education for students across southeast Georgia.

Through ten colleges, the Allen E. Paulson College of Engineering and Computing, the College of Arts and Humanities, the College of Behavioral and Social Sciences, the College of Education, the College of Science and Mathematics, the Jack N. Averitt College of Graduate Studies, the Jiann-Ping Hsu College of Public Health, the Parker College of Business, the Waters College of Health Professions and University College, Georgia Southern delivers academic programs backed by real-world experience, research with regional and national impact, and a faculty committed to helping every student go further than they thought possible.

Accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges and holding specialized accreditation across its professional programs, Georgia Southern prepares graduates who are ready to lead, contribute and soar beyond, in Georgia, across the nation and around the world.

Job Summary

This position works closely with business analysts and functional units to design, develop, document, test, and maintain application programs, systems and interfaces that serve students, faculty, and staff across the University.

This role sits at the center of a multi-year modernization. New services are built in TypeScript on Bun and deployed to Azure Kubernetes Service. At the same time, the University is moving reporting and aggregation off Banner local tables and onto PostgreSQL, retiring a long-lived PHP application, and migrating HR and financial integrations from PeopleSoft to Workday.

This is a fully remote position. The incumbent must reside and work in the states of Georgia, Florida, or South Carolina.

Consult with business analysts and functional users to clarify work requests, contribute to technical design, and document assigned work
• Modernize and retire legacy components, including scheduled batch processes and long-lived application code, without interrupting the services that depend on them
• Work in both Git and Subversion while remaining repositories are migrated to Git, and contribute to that migration
• Participate in code review as both author and reviewer, and write changes that a peer or an automated check can evaluate and maintain. Apply the same r…
