Hi, I've just sent a job listing to python.org, but am also trying to proactively find python developers through other means.
python.org and guru.com notwithstanding, most job-sites to seem only support people/organizations looking for full/part-time employment or with full-time/part-time positions instead of work-for-hire. I require the latter, and in the very near future (days). I'm not looking for an employee as I cannot guarantee long-term work, though much of what is available is fairly consistent (on the board is a 4-week job, followed by another 6-week one). If anyone has ideas where I might find talented individuals and small companies offering (reasonably-priced i.e. not $125/hr like a local firm charges) python services, I'd be most appreciative. We are developing and extending a couple of projects previously developed for clients and replacing a 5-year-old Zope site, all with django, PostgreSQL etc. The work is immediately available for an experienced, self-motivated python web-application programmer. For those on this list that might be interested, I'm looking for self- motivated developers with excellent python skills and if possible experience with django (along with CVS/Subversion, PostgreSQL, SSH, vi/ emacs and other open-source projects & tools). Zope experience would be handy too as one job is to replace an old site with a spanky-new django one. Good communication and organizational skills are important. Documentation & commenting are also very important along with the ability to work alone and with others. Meeting deadlines, consistent development pace and accurate reporting are also key. Finally, having a sense of humor is valuable... as you might find yourself being called Bruce (especially if your name is Ryan, Shawn or Mike... as the other guys workin' for me already have those names. Then again if your name is really Bruce... 8-) I'd prefer someone from Western Canada (the other half of the country would be okay too, I guess), but if necessary will consider talented individuals from North America. Due to time-zone and possible language/ communication issues, off-shore developers are not attractive _at_this_time_ (sorry). Please submit a resume or other description of qualifications along with availability, desired rate and examples of work (i.e. URLs of projects and what you did on them and/or sample code showing _typical_ style of work).
