We're awesome ;-) There are two positions open for Python developers that have just opened up: Web Developer [Operations] ? Python/Django [1] and Data Acquisition Developer [2] The second position would probably suit a recent graduate, whereas the first requires a little more experience. Both jobs are located in the centre of Edinburgh, just off Princes St. The company provides a competitive salary, free fizzy drinks, cutting-edge technology, and a large group of skilled geeks to work alongside; Not necessarily in that order. --Mark [1]: http://www.skyscanner.net/news/jobs/web-developer-operations-pythondjango-edinburgh-uk.html [2]: http://www.skyscanner.net/news/jobs/indexing-developer-edinburgh-uk.html From alex at alexbird.co.uk Tue Aug 9 18:30:34 2011 From: alex at alexbird.co.uk (Alex Bird) Date: Tue, 9 Aug 2011 17:30:34 +0100 Subject: [Python Edinburgh] Python jobs going at Skyscanner In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: On Fri, Aug 5, 2011 at 2:33 PM, Mark Smith wrote: > > Data Acquisition Developer [2] > We used to call them Scrapers!

Our call for proposals (http://us.pycon.org/2012/cfp/) just went out and we want to include you in our 2012 conference schedule, taking place March 7-15, 2012 in Santa Clara, CA. The call covers tutorial, talk, and poster applications, and we?re expecting to blow the previous record of 250 applications out of the water. Put together your best 3-hour class proposals for one of the tutorial sessions on March 7 and 8. Submit your best talks on any range of topics for the conference days, March 9 through 11. The poster session will be in full swing on Sunday with a series of 4'x4' posters and an open floor for attendees to interact with presenters. Get your applications in early - we want to help you put together the best proposal possible, so we?re going to work with submitters as applications come in. See more details and submit your talks here: http://us.pycon.org/2012/speaker/ We?re also looking for feedback from your past PyCon experiences along with what you?re looking for in the future, by way of our 2012 Guidance Survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/pycon2012_launch_survey. The attendees make the conference, so every response we get from you makes a difference in putting together the best conference we can.

We have over one hundred users registered on the site, but I am sure some of you may just have heard of it or waited for the schedule to see if they wanted to attend or not.
