Using your Python career to make the world a better place (for real!)
by Stephen Hawkes July 19, 2018

July 19, 2018

And now for something completely different... (puts on best John Cleese voice) Do you want to use your Python skills in a creative, fast paced team working exclusively with some of the world's biggest and most effective charities, NGOs and not for profit organisations? Do you want to work in a team where you have an equal share in shaping our direction and you are supported to grow as a developer and a person? If 'yes' then DEV might be the perfect place for you. We're The Developer Society, a total not-for-profit co-op digital agency based in Birmingham's awesome Digbeth area and with the possibility of a flexible/remote working arrangement. We work on solving fascinating problems with inspiring people and we are committed to empowering each other at the same time. Rather than VC pressure (and the joy of share dilution!), we model real company ownership, and it's working... All of our projects are all Python powered and we love to support PyCon UK & the PSF where we can (hope you liked the PyConUK design!), and efforts to grow the community in the UK (check out codegrades.com, a recent design from us) We believe that great people want to do meaningful and challenging work that contributes to the lives of others...and at DEV you don't have to sacrifice a salary to do so. We work exclusively with amazing charities and NGOs like The Refugee Council, Macmillan, Save The Children, Help Refugees, Amnesty International, 38 Degrees and lots of others. If you'd like to know more about life at DEV then read up here <https://www.dev.ngo/join/> and to see more about our Python roles here <https://www.dev.ngo/join/django-jobs/>. Come join us and use your skills to make the world a better place. Would genuinely love to hear what you think about all of this. (And if you ever want a custom Python illustration for your meetup, let me know, I had way too much fun with the PyCon UK ones) ~Steve -- Stephen Hawkes Founder and Director *THE DEVELOPER SOCIETY_* The not-for-profit co-op digital agency, run by and for the sector. *Studio:* +44 (0) 333 344 7800 <+44%20333%20344%207800> *Web:* dev.ngo *Skype: *Add me via stevehawkz *Address:* Fazeley Studios, 191 Fazeley Street, Digbeth, Birmingham, B5 <https://maps.google.com/?q=191+Fazeley+Street,+Digbeth,+Birmingham,+B5&entr…> 5SE

Benevolent Dictator On Permanent Vacation
by Peter Inglesby July 12, 2018

July 12, 2018

Hi folks, You may already have seen that Guido is stepping back from his position as Python's BDFL, and you can read more here <https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-committers/2018-July/005664.html>. I'm not sure anybody knows what this'll mean in practice, but I thought it might be a good opportunity for us as the UK Python community to say thanks to Guido for everything he's done. Does anybody have any good ideas for how we could do this? Peter.

NumPy Engineer to work on medical diagnostic tools in Oxford
by Grace Carey July 2, 2018

July 2, 2018

Hi all, 101 Ways have recently taken on a new project in Oxford working with a startup who are building a medical diagnostic tool and we are looking to hire a NumPy engineer to join the team, alongside a CTO who is more frontend focused (react). They are working on a handheld diagnostic device, currently, in the R&D stage, that is based upon 10 years of academic research from Oxford University's Chemistry department - who also developed the blood glucose testing device and the handheld DNA sequencer. The software you will be working on is an internal application for capturing the timeline of experiments and deriving computational insights in real time to aid exploration of experimental data. The gig offers a great opportunity to gain experience developing and operating serverless applications as they are 100% AWS Lambda. Current Stack: Python Flask React.js + Redux AWS Lambda AWS DynamoDB AWS CloudFormation / CodePipeline / CodeBuild If this sounds interesting, get in touch if you'd like to know more specifics or details about the competitive day rate on offer. Best, Grace
