------------------------------------

Hi all,

My workplace is looking for an experienced Python Developer to help 
develop and maintain its in-house POS and Practice Management System

This is a full-time permanent role, and would be mostly working from 
home with face-to-face contact on-site at Mount Waverley on an as needed 
basis.

Full description below.

If you are interested or have questions, please email me via 
developer_role at opticalsuperstore.com.au

Cheers,

Rasjid.

Note: The role requires both Windows and Linux development.

*Full time Applications Developer (primarily Python)*

The Optical Superstore is looking to hire an experienced Python 
developer to join a small team to help develop and maintain the next 
version of its in-house Point-of-Sale and Practice Management software.

*Technologies in use*

The software is primarily developed in Python using PostgreSQL as the 
database.  The core system is a Windows Desktop application developed 
using PySide, but there are a collection of other technologies in use 
including Django, CherryPy, some Angular, and small amounts of C# and 
Kotlin, so familiarity with a diverse range of technologies is 
appreciated. Most of the core backend systems run on Linux, so being 
handy on a bash shell (or fish if you prefer) over ssh is definitely 
helpful.

*Skills required*

Not just coding, the role will involve all aspects of the software 
development process, from requirements gathering and architecture 
planning to development, testing and deployment. We see being able to 
talk to the end users, key stakeholders and other team members as an 
essential part of the development process. And more than just talking, 
asking smart questions to uncover the real needs and requirements.

While not internet scale, there is enough data that knowing the 
difference between approaches that are o(n) vs o(n^2) is required. A 
good understanding of SQL (ideally PostgreSQL) is essential.

We need you to be familiar with designing software for the long term. 
Parts of the legacy code base we are replacing are over 20 years old. We 
would hope that much of the code that is written today will still be in 
use in another 20 years.
