From lynn at brandconcierge.co Fri Mar 16 13:19:58 2018 From: lynn at brandconcierge.co (lynn@brandconcierge.co Kingelin) Date: Fri, 16 Mar 2018 17:19:58 +0000 Subject: [python-uk] New lead dev role at Brand Concierge Message-ID: Hi everyone, I am new to the Python UK group and looking for a full stack Python developer to join our startup. We have a pre-launch MADTech market network for hiring a top agency. We cover marketing, branding, PR advertising/media. Our platform is both a marketplace and a project management too. It is built in Python with a Django framework. It is a one-page, responsive site. Our lead dev/CTO has been great and has built a robust platform, but he is leaving after he finishes installing our complex payment system by mid-April. I am looking for someone new to join us and get us launched by finishing up the rest of the platform and putting together an admin panel for metrics and so we can see the contents of our database and make business decisions. We are really quite close to launch. Couple months is my estimate. I'm testing the site now and identifying bugs. We'll be seeking funding once we get first traction. This isn't an MVP at this point and our USPs are innovative and well defined. We are looking for an experienced developer in London who is interested in joining a start up and is skilled in these technologies. Definitely more than 7 years experience in the field and I'd prefer someone comfortable in more than one dev language. You'll like stats and analytics and enjoy managing a dev task list and have some management people skills. ? MySQL database ? Python/Django ? JavaScript/HTML5/JQuery/Ember ? AWS ? GIT (bitbucket) *Skills & requirements* HTML5 / CSS3 / JavaScript (ECMA Script 6) Experience of JavaScript frameworks Experience of responsive design Knowledge of REST API?s Ability to write test code and use common debugging tools Good communication skills Organised and able to deliver to a deadline *Beneficial* Photoshop / Illustrator experience as I'll give you a couple final designs to implement that need to be pixel perfect. Would love to hear from any Python devs in London who are interested and not with an agency. -- Warm regards, Lynn [image: Inline image 2]BrandConcierge * Reinventing how brands hire agencies* *Lynn Kingelin* CEO & co-founder lynn at brandconcierge.co +447906947627 Brand Concierge twitter twitter LinkedIn Google+ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It's an online games programming competition, where you have to write a game from scratch in a week. The full rules are at https://pyweek.org/s/rules/. We usually have a few UK entrants. I've entered a couple of times with London-based teams but you can also enter as an individual. I'm going to be entering as an individual this time. But now I'm also running the competition too! It's a chance to exercise your creativity, practice Python, and release something! If creating a game alongside a number of other teams sounds like a fun challenge, register at https://pyweek.org/register/ (then add an entry from the drop-down). Hope to see you there!
