I am interested.

For what its worth, my group is hiring an engineer to work for two years
on QAing and release machine-learning/statistical-modeling code that we
have developed internally in Python. I can't announce the name of the
enginner yet, as the contract is not fully signed, but we should be
hiring a very talented young fellow who has already contributed to
scientific Python project (let the speculations begin!).
