WireLoad, creator of the Screenly digital signage solution, is looking for a Python developer and jack-of-all-trades to contribute to every part of Screenly — front-end and back-end.

The qualities we value the highest are adaptivity (learn things fast) and diligence (achieve things steadily). If you’re the kind of programmer we’re looking for your exact background doesn’t matter as much as your ability to learn quickly and your sheer problem solving stamina.

You can expect to work in a small dedicated team with a chat channel for questions, and with feedback in the form of code review. The project is a Python and bottle based solution, although Django experience is appreciated because we all secretly wish it were Django. The front-end is a ton of Javascript on backbone.js. You may or may not work on the lower hardware level stuff but if you do that'd be C++, Qt and more Python.

You like:

    * Python.
    * Unit tests, integration tests, browser tests, test tests, every test.
    * Cool digital signs.
    * Great UIs with a good user experience.
    * Docker, Raspberry Pi, Continous Integration, Code Review, Open Source components.
Apply here[1], and feel free to contact me at @vpetersson.
