Department Summary

Early Childhood CARES provides Early Intervention (EI) and Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE) services to infants, toddlers, and preschool children in Lane County. Each year it serves over 1700 children who have developmental delays or disabilities. Established in 1992 as an outreach unit in the College of Education, it is funded by the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) and is one of nine programs in Oregon delivering EI/ECSE services across the state.

All counties in Oregon have EI/ECSE programs that use software developed at Early Childhood CARES. Our primary application group, ecWeb, is complex and includes robust case management, outcomes reporting, assessment tracking, forms processing including electronic signatures, immunization analysis, Medicaid billing record management, metrics, and reporting tools. There are over 2,600 users that work in ecWeb to manage records for over 13,000 children actively receiving services, in addition to children who are in the referral and evaluation processes. The Parent Portal, an integrated software system that facilitates electronic form signing and document delivery, serves approximately 13,000 parents across the state.

Position Summary

The Web Applications Programmer position is responsible for the design, development, implementation, documentation, maintenance, and support of application programming for ecWeb and the Parent Portal. The person in the position will interpret requirements, contribute to technical discussions, implement solutions, and communicate results to users and coworkers. They must diagnose assigned issues and address them through software fixes, updates, and addition of new functions and features. The Web Applications Programmer works closely with three other programmers with wide development responsibility and must be able to constructively collaborate with team members, contribute to the overall product design and development practices, mentor colleagues and be mentored.

EI/ECSE in Oregon is a dynamic and complex environment, so we use Agile-like programming methods for application development, which emphasize a close relationship with content experts and users, rapid adaptation, and constant attention to design and innovation. Applications are deployed on Linux servers and designed to be accessed through any modern web browser.

Work is accomplished in shared office space at the Early Childhood CARES building, 1500 W. 12th Ave, Eugene. The building is off-campus.
