Input into the requirements process will be expected (and hopefully wanted!). Desire to do something towards ending homelessness not required, but hopefully fulfilled.

Email details to Craig Burton. Details are also on the Homeless Link website.

Posted Jan-5-2007

Scattered Blue is a software engineering firm that is proving the same arrangements that have been so successful for open source projects can also be a profitable business strategy.

We have no physical development offices, but instead coordinate the efforts of many geographically separated, expert developers working from home using WIKIs, IRC, etc. Sometimes we do team programming over voice chat plus "screen -rx". From time to time, we pick a city, and meet for a 2 or 3 day hack-a-thon.

Applicants should have outstanding written communication skills, obvious hubris, and a high midichlorian count.

We're continuously starting new projects. At the moment, we have immediate needs for advanced skills with: py-Qt4, twisted, distributed storage systems, various forms of web development, some strange meta-javascripting, and new things that are always coming up.

So, if you're the type of coder who would enjoy being paid to sleep late, lounge around your place, and occasionally write some amazing Python code, you should certainly send us a resume right now.

Microcom [Agency] (South East UK)

Posted 12-Dec-2006

We are currently seeking a number of Software Engineer from graduates to senior developers to work in a team of highly able programmers, using technologies such as Python and Linux, and modern Agile development processes encompassing pair programming, unit tests, and working with stories.

To qualify we expect all members of the software team to have the following:-

A keen analytical mind, with a sound ability to judge when to focus on the details and when to think laterally.

Good interpersonal skills. This means being able to work continuously with other developers and talk sensibly with non-technical staff.

A strong desire to do things right, and not just to get it done. Obviously this needs to be tempered by the need to accept the compromises such as time-constraints that exist within a business.

Exposure to Linux/UNIX and other OS's, since people who've only worked in one environment tend to have fixed, unrealistic ideas.

Exposure to object oriented programming in more than one language. So long as there is some breadth, previous experience of Python is almost irrelevant (although a desire to program in Python is essential).

Ideally, graduates must be able to demonstrate an interest in Open Source technologies.

Lead developer: I am looking for a lead developer to help develop
a really cool personal finance web application. I have five years experience in vreating methodologies for corporations to gain financial efficiencies through cash flow re-engineering. I recently conceptualized a very simple but sophisticated personal finance application based on these experiences. The webapp will automate and optimize how individuals and families allocate their income efficiently. As an example, you will be able to know how you will spend $5,000 you earned this month in order to meet your goals. The application will automatically let you knowon a daily basis if you are spending right or not. This will make it really easy for people to get out of credit card debt or increase their savings. We can help people essentially reduce their financial stress! Its one of those, "why didn't I think of this" ideas. The service is free for all users. There are no graphic or google ads either.

We are be using Amazon's E2C & S3 services so all you'll need is a computer with an Internet connection. Job requirement is to develop a prototype. I've already sketched out the concept in Excel to use as a starting point. Features include automatic transaction downloads from bank, progressive automation, data mining and crowdcasting techniques. There are no set hours to volunteer. As the prototype progresses, we can discuss the compensation that will make you happy to stay on in case you'd want to consider this.

What Python is used for: The application will be developed on LAMP (P=Python).

A Python developer is required with at least one year’s Python experience to work for a client who is a small company with a well-knit team of developers and consultants operating in international markets. They develop and support critical software applications that are required to be auditable, reliable and highly available. Their products, for the most part, use a client server model, where a highly reliable back-end is used to deliver services to client web browsers. Their systems also communicate with other systems, using XML file structures and secure protocols, with encryption and digital signatures.

The client use open source products wherever possible, and these bring a number of advantages. The first, of course, is cost. While this is not a major consideration in a commercial environment, this low cost of entry means that they can explore new ideas and bring new products to market for a minimal initial outlay. This, in turn, gives us a rapid response to market needs.

The second advantage is reliability. Open source projects tend to respond rapidly to bugs, and, where this response is not enough, the client can review the source code and work round any problems. This means that they can write systems that operate unattended for years.

The tools the client uses are all industrial strength products: Linux is an established operating system with a solid reputation for security, reliability and flexibility; PostgreSQL is a relational database that competes with the best in the market for response time and ease of use; and Python is a highly usable and solidly designed language that is capable of supporting small scripts for system management as well as full blown multi-developer projects.

Numenta (Menlo Park, CA)

Posted 30-Nov-2006

Sr. Release Engineer

This is an opportunity with computer industry veterans Jeff Hawkins and Donna Dubinsky (founders of Palm Computing and Handspring) who have formed a new company called Numenta. (www.numenta.com) The Company is developing a new type of memory architecture modeled after Jeff’s theory of the mammalian cortex. (www.onintelligence.com) the idea is that every region of the cortex – visual, auditory, association, motor, language – has one thing in common – they detect patterns, representation of invariances and predictions from a generative model of the world based on these invariances. The theory is that this is accomplished in each individual cortical column using the cells in the 6 layers; a hierarchical connectivity between cortical regions enables cognition to become more and more abstract and analogical in higher cortical region.

Note Principles only

Job Responsibilities

This individual will be a member of Numenta’s Engineering group and be responsible for designing and implementing a highly automated cross-platform build and deployment system. Will work closely with the QA team.

Job Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree (Computer Science or Engineering preferred), Masters a plus
  • 3-5 years work experience
  • Must have participated in several software release lifecycles.
  • In depth knowledge of, and experience with, Python (preferred), Perl or Ruby.
  • Excellent grasp of software engineering principles, particularly the development and release lifecycle.
  • Ability to troubleshoot complex software applications and environment problems
  • Experience implementing highly automated build/test/release processes
  • In depth knowledge of Unix and Windows
  • Experience with cross-platform products, including Unix and Windows build systems
  • Experience building C++ software applications
  • SCM administration experience with tools such as Subversion or Perforce

We build spectacular navigation systems (think Google earth on steroids, only (much, much) faster, (way) better looking, and actually available where you need it) for the automotive, aviation, and specialty industries.

And making pretty (and informative) software is a lot of what this job is all about (Something Steve Jobs, love him or hate him, has always known). You should have a great sense of aesthetics, superb command of Python and C++ (even though you won’t likely use the latter much, we want people who know how things at a lower level work, and how to interface to them) If you have a passion for developing truly great software that millions of people will use, and hate mediocrity, drop us a line and tell us a little about yourself (to jobs@churchillnavigation.com )– we’ll send you a problem, and if your solution gets past our team of engineers, we’ll get you out here for an interview.
