<p class="MsoNormal">I was given the opportunity to post a Python opportunity I have to this thread. Bank of America is going through an overhaul of their risk platform globally so that they can understand their overall global risk at any given time. They
have several different platforms that need to be converted to Python as well as building the framework that these applications sit on in Python. This is a top 5 initiative for the bank and is looking to be a 5 year project which is in its 2 year. A majority
of the management in Chicago is continuously looking for Python developers to aide in building this framework. Below is just one of the many job descriptions, if you’re interested in the role, please let me know. Job Description below:<o:p></o:p></p>
