[melbourne-pug] oppurtunity of Python jobs

[Paul]

I work at the BOM and it is a big place with many different groups working on very different projects. Although one position may need GIS, another one may not, so don't let GIS put you off.

The requirements should be in the job description. There are some software jobs advertised at the moment, but I don't see anything Python based.

You can find the current job opportunities here:

Cheers,
Paul

I applied for one of the BOM positions. What they are really after are people who are familiar with both Python and geographical information systems. From what I can gather, GIS is a rather specialised field, with its own set of arcame xml-like file formats.

In terms of supply vs demand I believe Melbourne is a reasonable place to look - I have been working as a Python person for my last few jobs - but the overall supply and demand is quite low compared to (say) the US, I suspect.



If you want to live in Melbourne keep an eye on the BOM (www.bom.gov.au) as they have a fairly strong python presence. I am moving jobs at the moment (finishing in about a month) - if you have some statistical and/or economic credentials let me know more about you, and you never know, you could end up taking up my current role.



cheers,

Nick
