Microcom Recruiting [AGENCY](London, Bristol, UK)

Posted 7-May-2008

Developers required - All levels of experience consider including graduates.

Salary £20k to £80k

We are currently seeking a Software Engineer to work in a team of highly able programmers, using technologies such as Python and Linux, and modern Agile development processes encompassing pair programming, unittests, and working with stories.

To qualify we expect all members of the software team to have the following:-

• A keen analytical mind, with a sound ability to judge when to focus on the details and when to think laterally.
• Good interpersonal skills. This means being able to work continuously with other developers and talk sensibly with non-technical staff.
• A strong desire to do things right, and not just to get it done. Obviously this needs to be tempered by the need to accept the compromises such as time-constraints that exist within a business.
• Exposure to Linux/UNIX and other OS's.
• Exposure to object oriented programming in more than one language. So long as there is some breadth, previous experience of Python is almost irrelevant (although a desire to program in Python is essential).

We're also exclusively using Python in RackLabs, our internal R&D group. Their latest undertaking makes heavy use of Twisted and SQLAlchemy.

• Have been there, done that, with the t-shirt to prove it (import antigravity).
• Can say and write stuff that others will understand.
• Enjoy finding elegant solutions to interesting problems.

We have been branded as one of Canada's top 20 hottest start-ups and our skunkworks product division is located right here in Guelph. This is your chance to live and work in what has been consistently rated as one of Canada's "most liveable cities".

Our simple goals are to build software applications that completely change the way people work together within organizations. Come help us pioneer a new path to designing and building effective software products as part of our team working in a highly participatory process. This will require getting your hands dirty in community based events, listening to users and then using that information to thoroughly explore the problems before implementing anything more than a sketch.

ROLE: We're looking for people as interested in asking, and exploring, the right questions as finding a solution. We don't have room for rock stars or wannabes as we all want to play together. If you prefer pencils over photoshop, collaborative conversations more than IM, and wrestling with problems more than jumping to an opinion, then you best chat with us.

Things we would hope you are considering:

• Can I handle the wild and unpredictable nature of a start-up?
• Do I really want to stretch myself in a language and technology stack that will make me more productive?
• Am I willing to live beyond the norms of a job description?
• What would it be like to genuinely contribute to a team and how it works?

We are looking for someone who is:

• Finished with working in environments that seem to work directly against getting things accomplished
• An active self learner
• A team player who makes the people around them better
• A strong communicator who can clearly explain and discuss complex technical topics
• Passionate about building clean, well architected software
• Not interested in reinventing any wheels but instead able to find and draw on existing frameworks and then work in the community to improve those existing wheels
• Driven to deliver software with exceptional user experiences and realize that to do otherwise is to fail

You get gold stars if you have:

• Experience with Python and Django
• Built sophisticated search functionality leveraging existing frameworks such as Lucene
• More than 5 years experience in software development
• A large handlebar mustache

RESUME SUBMISSION: If you are interested in this opportunity and meet the above qualifications, please submit your resume with wage expectations to resumes@brainpark.com. Once your resume has been received, those who are qualified will be contacted.
