Django/Python developer needed (contract):

San Francisco, California



Hi,


We're looking to hire (on contract) a mid-level Django/Python engineer. There are a LOT of options for software engineers out there, so why work with us ???




  • We're a boutique technology / design consulting company and specialize/focus in Django development.



  • We believe in open-source and contribute back extensively.



  • We write DRY, clean code.



  • We work on several interesting projects at a time, giving you the choice to decide what you'd like to work on!


Before you apply here is a list of random things we're looking for in our ideal colleague:




  • You know what a middleware and context processor is. Better still you've written a bunch on your own!



  • jQuery (galleria plugin, jquery UI etc. too)



  • virtualenv/pip/fabric are your swiss army knives!



  • can get an Ubuntu instance up and ready to deploy a Django app in under 30 minutes?



  • RabbitMQ / celery

CTO for campaign to change tech policy

CTO for campaign to change tech policy:

Worcester, Massachusetts



We are a brand-new activist org aiming to improve the laws constraining tech (e.g. copyright) by shifting the public opinion that shapes these laws. Think the EFF (http://eff.org) but more campaign-focused (also, more fun and viral). This could be a dream job.


Our organization is focused on developing high-impact campaigns that resonate with people and help them band together to exert their power. This role is central to the organization and its effectiveness. If you ever wanted to build online experiences that reach out, grab people, and help them them change the world, then this is the job for you.


We need someone who can:




  • Build software, particularly simple dynamic web applications



  • Manage software and web projects



  • Choose the perfect mix of products (CRM, scalable hosting, analytics) to power scalable, hassle-free online campaigning



  • Be an awesome product/project manager, paying close attention to our process and systems and the quality of results



  • Live in constant maniacal pursuit of the best tactics (from UX to talking points) through analytics and A/B testing


Ideally you’d have experience with all of these things, particularly refinement of a campaign or a product through analytics and A/B testing. But if this listing caught your eye at all, be in touch. We’re willing to consider people from a wide range of backgrounds and skill-sets for this position, especially if you have experience managing teams of contractors.


This would be a great job for any developer or project manager who can tackle a heterogenous mix of projects with a single-minded drive.


Your job will literally involve:




  • Making millions of people happy



  • Foiling villains



  • Shaping the future of tech in ways no for-profit company can


You’ll go home satisfied.



The team will be 100% remote-—no need to commute or relocate. We’d start working with you on a contract basis at your hourly rate, but we will be able to offer full-time position with competitive salary and benefits to the right person.


If you’re interested, send us a note with a resume and as much relevant information as possible: significant things you’ve done, especially stuff related to the mix of abilities we’re looking for. Being well-rounded is a plus, so don’t exclude significant skills or achievements just because they aren’t tech (e.g, if you’ve ever been an activist, let us know).
