[melbourne-pug] [JOB] python developer with experience in zope3 required

[Adam Lau]

Looking for a python developer with zope3 experience to extend functionality in the School Tool (http://schooltool.org) open source project. We would like to extend the current school tool api (xml-rpc and REST) to expose some of its functionality to other processes.

Candidates will first need to demonstrate (via skype or come to our office) that they are proficient in python by:
- building and running the school tool project from source (instructions on the school tool website)
- demonstrate debugging and development environment

Candidates who pass the first stage will then need to demonstrate that they are proficient in zope3 by:
- providing a short design doc on how you would query data and expose it via xml-rpc or REST. e.g. a sample query could be to return a list of absent students for a day.

The design doc doesn't have to be a work of art, use correct uml notation or be in any formal format. I'm looking for developers who can analyse the requirement, think through some solutions and effectively communicate.

We are based in Melbourne, however, I'm happy for people being able to work remotely. Also happy to answer any questions you have regarding the role/requirements.
