[EuroPython] [Off-Topic][Python job opportunity] looking for several full-time Python specialists in Berlin

[Joachim]

Hi *, 

Please accept my apologies in advance for being off-topic. 
We are currently searching (high and low) for passionate Python programmers 
for Berlin for a leading multinational provider of real-time ad trading 
platforms. 

The positions are all _new_ as we want to drive the expansion across 
Europe. We decided that Berlin was a great choice given the fantastic local 
tech-scene. 
Altogether we're looking for around 10-12 engineers to join us over the 
coming months. 

Company overview is in a few sentences: 
- privately owned and very tech-driven (CEO is not some sales or financial 
guy but well known within the on Computational Theory research community). 
- develops media trading systems which are used by major companies like 
Google, Yahoo, Yandex, Facebook & Bing. 
- system is used to answer complex computational questions around 
probability, data processing and predict potential user behavior, user-
interest and response over which advertisements to deliver. 

From an engineering perspective this is highly challenging as it operates 
in a High-Availability/High-Traffic environment and requires Real-Time 
processing to decide what ads get displayed. A lot of parameters are being 
taken into consideration to decide what content gets delivered (a problem 
which is essentially NP-hard). The solution is cloud based (SaaS) and work 
is structured within agile teams with fast deployment cycles. On the market 
since many years and headquartered in the UK but with offices all around 
the world. (multicultural, multinational) 

Open to accept applications from candidates based outside Germany because 
we want to attract the strongest candidates and therefore place no limits 
on geography in the search. Talk is cheap, show me the code (as Linus 
Torvalds once said), therefore visa sponsorship will be provided for the 
right candidate. 

The job: 
✓ Proven track record of previous projects and strong passion for Open 
Source Technologies and High-Traffic, High-Availability Software platforms. 
✓ Working on complex high load projects deployed across the world; 
✓ Development of business logic in form of Python and Lua programs for in-
house Internet advertisement platform; 
✓ Functional testing of implemented business logic using Perl or/and Python 
test frameworks; 
✓ Support of offline backend data processing programs in Perl and/or 
Python; 
✓ Coordination with other teams on integration issues; 
✓ Direct discussions on implementation details with company clients; 
✓ Analysis of system behavior in production. 

Requirements: 
✓ Experience in Lua from 2 years to x years (any seniority, ... if you just 
graduated that's fine if you can show some projects you maybe did on the 
side) ; 
✓ Strong focus on algorithm and system performance & experience; 
✓ Ability to work with complicates business logic; 
✓ Passion for Open Source and able to share your know-how across the 
organization; 
✓ Readiness to study; 
✓ Good knowledge of English 

Conditions: 
✓ Smart people strive to surround themselves with people smarter than 
themselves: In this environment you will be working within a leading team 
of global subject matter experts; 
✓ Professional growth, dealing with the latest technologies; 
✓ Flexible working hours; 
✓ Salary review 1-2 times per year; 
✓ Payable overtime work;
