A fast-growing company in Reston, VA is looking to hire junior & mid-level web application developers with EXPERTISE in PYTHON & JAVA.
US Citizenship is required and you must be willing to relocate to the Washington, DC Metro area.
The ideal candidate should have 3-5 years of object-oriented application development experience with a focus on database-driven web applications. We're looking for all-around solid developers, but we would really like to see a little Java and Python experience in there too. Either that, or you've got to show us that you've got a solid programming foundation and convince us that this is something you can pick up. And, if all you've done is VB.NET, we're probably going to need a little more convincing.
We're looking for someone who is energetic and enthusiastic about software development, who's excited about working closely on small development teams, who enjoys taking ownership of their work, who wants to help us think about and design new software solutions, who wants to introduce new technology ideas, and who wants to learn. We're looking for ninjas, but ninjas that can bake cakes and do taxes too – and program too.
Candidates should have extensive experience in the following technical areas:
• Core computer sciences knowledge, with an emphasis on object-oriented application design and development.
• Relational database systems - including database design and more advanced SQL knowledge. We are not particularly concerned with which RDBMS, but we expect candidates to know more than how to select all rows from a table.
• Full-scope application development. We are looking for candidates who have been there from beginning to end and who have been involved in all (or many) facets of the development process – from creating build scripts to designing class architecture to writing code and unit tests.
Candidates should have experience in the following general technical areas:
• Python WSGI-style web application development (potentially with application framework such as Pylons, TG, Django, etc.),
• Java (and other JVM langs - Jython, Groovy, etc.)
• Testing methodologies and/or frameworks (unit testing, integration/functional testing),
• Solid Linux background and experience with setup and administration of LAMP services (e.g. Apache, RDBMS, etc.)
Strong additional consideration will be given to candidates who have experience or familiarity with (any of) the following:
• Object-relational mapping tools (e.g. SQLAlchemy, SQLObject),
• PostgreSQL (administration, plpgsql, PostGIS),
• Twisted or other asynchronous networking frameworks,
• Software packaging and deployment experience (e.g. RPM, Deb),
• Inter-process communication or distributed computing,
