Python/Django web developer

More Associates is a ground-breaking sustainable design practice based in Central London. We work with corporations, governments and NGOs, using design, technology and user-centred research to address the most exciting social and environmental challenges of our time.

You are an experienced web developer who loves building rich, compelling web applications that make the most of web technologies. You have excellent Python skills, are strong in back-end web development, and have substantial experience using Django in a production environment beyond. Ideally, you are equally strong in client-side technologies, and you know your box model hacks and image replacement techniques.

You believe in documentation, test-driven development and are happy using collaboration tools such as SVN and GIT, and running and deploying against release schedules. You are comfortable with the user-centred design approach and feel that the end users of your work are the most important drivers in the development process. You are technically agnostic, and open standards will normally be your first choice. You relish being a key part of a committed, fast growing team.

Ideally, like us you are passionate about creating social and environmental benefit through your work.

You see programming as an art as well as a science and enjoy using your creativity to solve a wide variety of interesting problems. You relish getting involved at every level of development, from designing system architecture and database structures to building it and helping designers understand the technical challenges and possibilities. You enjoy working on open-source projects and like to get involved in them wherever you can. You are not looking for shortcuts to build a project, but instead value the rewards that come from the extra effort you put in.
