About the role

Position Summary

The Cloud Developer performs critical infrastructure and development functions for Vanderbilt’s
growing initiatives in digital scholarship, cloud-based research computing, and generative AI
(GenAI) deployment. Working closely with technologists across the Heard Libraries and other
campus units, the Cloud Developer is responsible for designing, building, and maintaining the
scalable cloud infrastructure required to make research data scalable and accessible. Given the
agile, collaborative nature of the work unit, this role demands a blend of deep technical
execution, nimble project management, and mentorship capabilities. The Cloud Developer will
serve as a "Principal Engineer" within our experiential learning programs, helping to manage
student developers, architect "fail-fast" innovations, and scale computational solutions for wide
impact.

About the Work Unit

The Jean and Alexander Heard Libraries at Vanderbilt University comprise nine libraries and
multiple specialized service departments. The libraries are fundamental to the university’s goal
of advancing scholarship and learning by collecting, preserving, and making accessible a wide
variety of resources,and partnering with faculty and students to shape research. The Digital Lab
advances the creation, development, and sustainability of faculty and student-driven digital
projects. As an applied research and learning center, the Lab transforms unstructured library
collections into machine-readable computational assets and builds cutting-edge software
solutions leveraging generative AI. The AWS-sponsored Vanderbilt Cloud Innovation Lab
(VCIL), which provides immersive, hands-on software development experiences for student
fellows, is a core focus of this work. By embedding students directly into professional
engineering workflows as junior developers, the Digital Lab bridges advanced faculty research, technical mentorship, and scalable cloud infrastructure to broaden computational innovation across campus.
