  • We know the best ideas don't always happen at a desk. Take a walking meeting around our 100-acre campus or enjoy lunch on the patio. We're committed to your success-both personally and professionally. Hybrid work environment: For many roles, three days a week on-site, with occasional additional days based on business needs.

  • Free use of our on-site tness center, gym sports, group exercise classes, and game room

  • Onsite catering and cafeteria subsidized by OCLC

  • Health and wellness events

  • Work environments with individual and team spaces and the latest technology tools

  • Paid parental leave and adoption assistance

  • Tuition reimbursement and Public Service Loan Forgiveness eligibility

  • Company-subsidized pricing on local tickets and memberships

Join us in transforming how people everywhere access information and be part of a mission-driven team that makes a global impact.

The job details are as follows:Access Checker is a green-field service within OCLC focused on harvesting and evaluating the accuracy of eResource links at large scale-helping libraries identify access issues earlier and improving the reliability of knowledge discovery for end users.
This role is for a Lead software engineer who enjoys owning meaningful parts of a system end-to-end, working across a larger ecosystem, and helping a team adopt an AI-first approach to design and development-both in how we build software and how we use ML/LLMs to improve performance and accuracy.
You'll join a small, geographically dispersed team that's encouraged to be independent, drive direction, and collaborate closely to deliver high-quality software that integrates across large sections of the OCLC codebase with a fully CI/CD approach.

Responsibilities:

  • Own and deliver key components of the Access Checker system-from design through implementation, testing, and production support.
  • Build and evolve a high-throughput link harvesting and evaluation pipeline that is efficient and reliable at scale.
  • Design solutions that minimize impact on other systems (performance, isolation, resource usage) while integrating cleanly across OCLC.
  • Lead technical discussions and contribute to architectural decisions, balancing speed, quality, and long-term maintainability.
  • Mentor and guide junior engineers through pairing, feedback, and code/design reviews; help raise the bar for engineering practices.
  • Help the team become AI-first: adopt AI-assisted development workflows and lead thoughtful use of ML/LLMs to achieve the required levels of evaluation quality, efficiency, and maintainability.
  • Conduct code reviews and uphold code quality standards (testability, readability, observability, and operational readiness).

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in computer science or related discipline, or equivalent work experience.
  • 8+ years of software development experience delivering production systems.
  • Strong programming skills in Java/Spring, with solid software engineering fundamentals (design, testing, debugging, performance).
  • Experience designing and delivering services/systems that operate reliably under real-world constraints (scale, latency, cost, availability).
  • Ability to lead, influence, and mentor; helping others deliver high-quality work.

Preferred / nice to have

  • Experience applying ML/LLMs in production environments, at scale.
  • Programming experience with React and Python for UIs and automated testing
  • Experience with database systems and data-intensive workflows.
  • Experience integrating AI tools, frameworks, and concepts into the software development process.
  • Experience working in large codebases or platform ecosystems with multiple dependencies.

Working Conditions:Normal office environment.
