Message-ID: <20140409141827.482b4a09@ecometrica.com> Fellow pythonistas, I'm the Montr?al-based CTO of an Edinburgh-based company, Ecometrica. We are looking to expand our dev team, and want to do that in our Scottish office. The opening is for May 1st, but i'm flexible on start date. I'm also very flexible on seniority, experience, education - we have a very smart team, and i don't look for keywords on a CV when hiring. That being said, it's not a position for a php coder who's never written a line of python in her life either - some evidence that you've found your way to python would be nice. Even if you've got a job already, i encourage you to send your info along and come and meet us - you've got nothing to lose, and you just might decide to join our team! Here's the full posting: Ecometrica[1] is a company of specialists and experts in greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting [2], ecosystem services [3], climate change policy, remote sensing and web based programming. We have unrivalled experience in the development and application of the major standards for greenhouse gas accounting and ecosystem change measurement. Our mission is to make accounting for GHG emissions and ecosystem changes accessible to all organisations, including business and government, through web-based services that distill our knowledge and experience. We are presently on the lookout for a python developer position, based in our Edinburgh (Scotland) office. This is an immediate opening. Ideally, you are very-well versed in at least some of: * Python (e.g., you know how metaclasses work, or how a large list will allocate memory upon the next append) * Backend Django development (e.g., you know querysets inside out - how and when they query the database, how their internal caches work) * Linux Infrastructure (deployment, security, etc.) * Frontend development (you can do magic with javascript, HTML and CSS) * Testing, both frontend (using e.g. windmill) and backend (python unittests) * Frontend design (usability, visual design) * Geographical information systems (we created our own screaming-fast storage and querying system, but knowing the basics of how GIS work would be handy) We?re not expecting you to be an expert in all of this, but if you have a few of those points and are very smart, please apply!!! You *must*: * have a good sense of humor * work well in geographically disconnected teams * have good communications skills in english * deal well with receiving a vague problem description, and take matters in your own hands to make sure it gets solved to everybody?s satisfaction with limited resources The challenges are numerous and great, in all areas - infrastructure, backend, algorithms, frontend design and implementation, etc. We really need you! In terms of perks, Ecometrica is a great place to work at. Schedules are completely flexible - i want you to get things done, and if you?re not feeling it one morning, go for a bike ride and work later! If you?ve got deadlines one week and really crunch it, go skying for a couple of days the next week! How you work and solve problems is also flexible, and you?ll get a mac or linux laptop, your choice (or Windows if you really want that). We provide a nice open office, unlimited coffee, tea of course. You?ll get to visit the other office from time to time, and you need to be able/allowed to travel sparingly to Canada. Good options package. And of course full health coverage. It?s like working for a startup, but a startup which is already in the black and has lots of paying clients, so much less stress - we?re here for the long run but you get to join while the company is still relatively small (less than 10 in Montr?al, 25 total). 27 days vacations. Salary will depend on your experience, but will be competitive - i?m open to receiving applications from very junior up to senior levels. The team is great, too. You won?t be simply working in a dev team, you?ll also be working with amazing, fun, very bright scientists both in Montr?al and in Edinburgh. The 3 co-founders are all scientists, there are simply no PHB?s around to ruin your day! You can send your CV to jobs at ecometrica.com. But please include links to sites you?ve built, projects you?ve completed, repos on github or bitbucket where you?ve contributed or are the lead developer, your twitter stream, or anything else that makes sense.

The monthly pub meetup is tomorrow, but there's a change of venue! I feel we've outgrown our old venue, so this month we're going to try out Southsider [1]. It's still a city centre pub that's not too far from the station, but it has better facilities for booking an area of the pub for ourselves. As usual, we'll start at 6:30pm, and everyone's welcome no matter what level of experience they have. There will be printouts of the Python logo on the tables to help anyone new to recognise us. It's a great opportunity to ask questions, meet new people in the industry, and generally find out what other people are up to. I hope to see you there! --Mark 1: http://www.thesouthsiderpub.co.uk/ PS: I appear to be having trouble sending email - apologies if you see this twice. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: Hi All, Sorry for the late notice this month... As usual, the pub meetup is tomorrow, but there's a change of venue!

It's still a city centre pub that's not too far from the station, but it has better facilities for booking an area of the pub for ourselves. Although it's part of the same chain as Berts Bar, I'm afraid they don't do the same pies. As usual, we'll start at 6:30, and everyone's welcome no matter what level of experience they have. It's a great opportunity to ask questions, meet new people in the industry, and generally find out what other people are up to.
