(Apologies in advance for those of you who might've already seen
this advert on Planet Python)<br>
<br>
Are you a recent Software Engineering graduate looking to join an
Agile team? Or do you have 3 years industry experience and a passion
for learning?<br>
<br>
We're a fast-paced, well-funded Web 2.0 business looking for a
pro-active software developer to join our talented, self-organizing
software development team.<br>
<h2>About you</h2>
<ul>
<li><b>You are hungry to learn:</b> You actively seek change —
always looking for opportunities to improve professionally, and
to help your team develop. You read software-related
publications, welcome criticism of your work and offer your
colleagues honest feedback.<br>
</li>
<li><b>You're willing to try new things:</b> Want to try your hand
at requirements gathering or UI design? If the idea of becoming
a <a
href="http://www.agilemodeling.com/essays/generalizingSpecialists.htm">Generalizing
Specialist</a> appeals, this could be the right job for you.<br>
</li>
<li><b>You have excellent communication skills:</b> You're
comfortable communicating verbally, graphically or in written
text, and you’re happy explaining technical concepts to
non-technical people.<br>
</li>
<li><b>You’re qualified and/or experienced:</b> You have a
Software Engineering degree, an equivalent certificate from a
leading organization (e.g.: <a href="http://www.computer.org/">IEEE-CS</a>,
<a href="http://www.bcs.org/">BCS</a>) or have at least 3 years
experience.<br>
</li>
<li><b>You appreciate a sociable, friendly and supportive working
environment:</b> We value technical expertise and encourage
developers to exercise their initiative and engage with the
business as a whole.<br>
</li>
</ul>
This is primarily a Web Development role. Experience or knowledge of
Python, Django, GNU/Linux, Git, jQuery, Solr, Postgres and Agile
development methodologies is a big plus, but is not required. <b>We
simply want someone with the right attitude</b> and we'll help you
get up to speed with anything you're not familiar with!<br>
