Terra Universal, Inc
position filled
Terra Universal, a world-class manufacturer and distributor of critical environment equipment to technically-oriented clients, seeks experienced 4D developers to work remotely as consultants to continue expanding its 4D-based enterprise management system.
Company Facts:
In business since 1976, Terra’s diverse continuing clients include SpaceEx, Google, universities and research laboratories (e.g.: CERN, Fermilab), semiconductor, pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers and government agencies (DoE, DoD, et al.), and, recently, marijuana producers. Terra builds actual physical stuff that people use to build their organisations … and, yes, we manufacture in California. Terra products include modular cleanrooms, glove box/isolators, research hoods, nitrogen-purged desiccators, cleanroom furniture and equipment.
Terra seeks long-term 4D consulting relationships, provides a continuing stream of projects, has a one-level approval process and pays promptly. Generally, Terra develops a project work scope, discusses it with a selected consultant and modifies scope as needed. The consultant then sets cost and timeline and Terra issues a PO authorizing the work. Project duration ranges from a few days to months and months.
Technical Environment:
Terra now runs 4D v19R3 in project mode in a production / remote fallback hardware configuration for separate production and development networks. Remote consultants work on RDS virtual machines running a local 4D server, all under Win. TUI’s project manager may support developers by reviewing in-process work on their servers to answer questions and the like. Consultants request branches and submit them for Terra’s integration into the master devel server for Terra’s review and integration into production. The current 4D structure is about 400 kb and the data file 70+ gb.
The Work:
Projects are a mix of enhancing/fixing existing process and clean-sheet developing new features/processes in an existing data structure. Terra expects new work to conform to simple written UI standards for keyboard shortcuts, navigation, dialogue function and appearance. The overall-look of screens is (slowly) migrating from 1990s to 2010s style in a long-term process on an as-created or as-modified basis. The current system will be happily demonstrated (Zoom or TeamViewer) to interested developers to show what’s going on now.
Developers are expected to take high-level work scopes, develop programming approaches and data structure (where needed) to implement the work. Developers coordinate with a single project manager, not with dozens of users.
A project queue is available and eagerly awaiting interested developers.
Consultant’s Background:
Consultants’ will find that experience will with tools such as Write Pro, ORDA, GitLab, Jason, JavaScript and iOS communications (on rarer occasions) helpful. It’s not number of years, it’s breath, depth and eagerness to explore new approaches and tools that count. Although developers are welcomed from all over the world, all work is conducted in English.

Application Developer for high profile project at the Art Institute of Chicago (4D)
position filled
The Art Institute of Chicago is seeking a web application developer willing to learn and work with the 4D programming language and database management system.
Summary
The Art Institute of Chicago is maintaining and expanding a custom-built collection management system called CITI, based on 4D. CITI is a client-server application which serves as a user interface and information database for all the Collections’ daily operations.
CITI is a complex and mature system, based on a unique, highly structured schema that maximizes the flexibility of the application.
In our near future plans, CITI will rely on a separate, Java-based Digital Asset Management System (DAMS) to manage digital files and metadata, with which it will communicate by means of a REST API. CITI itself provides access to several client applications, maintained by other team members, via a SOAP API.
Duties
We expect the candidate to go through a first learning phase where he or she can get comfortable with the language, data architecture and coding conventions that make up CITI, as well as the ties to other applications and the bug tracking system in use, TestTrack.
Past the learning curve, the candidate will provide technical and strategic support in planning and developing new features, debugging, maintaining, expanding and documenting the CITI code and data architecture; proposing and discussing strategies with other team members; exploring and evaluating new software and plug-ins.
This work will initially be supervised by a senior CITI developer, but eventually the candidate should be able to perform tasks independently, especially critical ones such as deploying code to production or promptly fixing outstanding bugs.
Our goals for CITI for the next few years are to make the CITI API more flexible; expand its UI capability by means of web areas and Javascript frameworks; and rebuild some major areas in order to tie CITI in with the new DAMS.
The candidate might occasionally provide support for other applications and RDBMS’s that manage the Museum’s data flow, mostly based on Java, PHP, MySQL and Solr. Understanding of the data architecture of the future DAMS and the ties between the two systems will be very important.
This position reports to the Director of Application Services, Collections, and will work tightly with 3 other team members.
Requirements
We are looking for a skilled developer with previous experience in programming languages such as PHP, Java, Python or Visual Basic. A certain level of involvement in developing an application throughout the data, business and presentation layers in a collaborative environment is also required. Understanding of SQL and relational databases is very important. Knowledge of HTML, JavaScript and CSS will be very helpful. Previous experience in 4D is highly wished but not mandatory. 4D training will be provided if necessary.
We expect the candidate to be flexible enough to adapt to a system with peculiar characteristics, such as an IDE that encompasses a database, a procedural language and a WYSIWYG interface builder, as well as a compiler and a code editor. The candidate should be able to understand the ways to achieve the best results with it.
The candidate should be able to grasp the complexity and diversity of the CITI ecosystem and deliver stable, secure, thoroughly tested and documented code for a high-profile, public-domain service.
A developer with solid technical skills as well as ideas, who likes challenging and innovative projects and is committed to the Art Institute’s vision, is our ideal candidate.
The candidate will expect to be working with a friendly, small team, with an excellent technical knowledge and an open mind to new ideas. He or she will enjoy a great work/life balance, generous benefits, a well groomed office aquarium and a rewarding everyday experience.
APPLY ONLINE AT: https://csweb.artic.edu/recruit/applyjob.html
The Art Institute of Chicago is an equal opportunity, equal access employer fully committed to achieving a diverse workforce.
