Software Engineer, Python





My client manages some of the largest open-source and enterprise
software development sites in the world. Their core products are both
market leaders, and they have the customer list to prove it. In
addition, they are the corporate sponsor of the open-source version
control software, and they encourage the use and development of
open-source software internally. They develop their own products their
own tools, so they use and depend on the tools that they are
developing on a daily basis.



In its first year out in the market, one of their products was a
finalist for the 2007 SIIA CODiE awards in the "Best Distributed
Computing Solution" category.
