**** Purpose
* * The Manager, Applications & Data Systems provides hands-on technical leadership for CCCSE’s web applications, survey and data systems, relational databases, integrations, and operational technology platforms. This position is the primary technical owner of CCCSE’s Python/Django application platform, which is under active development as part of a broader modernization effort, and leads the connected applications, databases, survey-technology, and data-exchange environments.  
** Responsibilities
* ** Application Development and Ownership:
Design, develop, maintain, test, document, and deploy secure Python/Django applications, APIs, and integrations that support CCCSE operations and institution-facing services. Responsibilities include front-end development, databases, authentication, authorization, and institution-level data-access controls.
* Technical portfolio leadership:
Provide technical leadership across CCCSE’s applications, databases, survey platforms, integrations, and operational technology. Lead application-level data exchanges and resolve complex application, database, authentication, access-control, and integration issues.

* Modernization and continuity:
Improve connections among applications, databases, and workflows to reduce manual work, strengthen data consistency, and improve maintainability. Recommend modernization and migration priorities and implement routine improvements.
