Subject: Python Jobs - The Best Companies ARE Still Hiring - Please pass the word

Hi Matt,

I was doing some networking and came across your name as a highly respected
Open Source professional.  I'm hoping you can help me out.  Even if you are
not seeking a new job at this time, I wanted to fill you in on these cool,
mid- to senior-level Degreed Engineer openings.  These are all
PERM/DIRECT-HIRE (not Contract) openings and if you aren't
interested/available, I would ask that you please take a moment to pass this
info along to any of your friends/colleagues who have this type of
background.  In this day and age, you never know who may be forced to make a
change tomorrow, who may have family in these parts of the country, or who may
just want to get his/her engines revving again with a cool new opportunity -
so your help to get this info into the hands of fellow Open
Source professionals is appreciated.  Once the info is in the right hands,
your buddies can give me a call if they want more of the juicy details!!

Philadelphia, PA Open Source Architect/Developer (4 immediate openings): 
We're seeking highly educated software engineering professionals (Masters or
PhD in Computer Science preferred) with at least 3 years of professional and
current hands-on PYTHON programming experience in an open source, large-scale,
distributed computing environment.  We're seeking someone out of a scalable,
high-volume environment (someone who has experience designing at least one
large-scale system that has operated on greater than 20 servers).  We want
someone who has experience writing clean code - using source control and
change management tools, ideally in an Agile environment.   And we need
someone who has experience in and passion for solving giant 'puzzles',
perhaps someone with statistics or algorithms experience and who has a great
attitude for teamwork and company spirit.  If you enjoy working on high volume
platforms, architecting solutions to large scale problems, writing clean
code, and working to build a company from the ground up then we may be
interested.  We offer our brilliant minds competitive compensation, EQUITY, a
work-hard, play-hard, fun work environment with flexible hours, free food and
a best-of-breed product.   This is a very well-funded VC-backed startup with
amazing potential - think Google or Amazon a few years back.  This is too good
to pass up!!

Charlotte, NC Python Backend Developer (2 openings over the next 3 months): 
Bachelors Degree in Computer Science (BSCS, MSCS only) from an accredited
university is a MUST and 2+ years of commercial and current Python server-side
development experience is required.  You'll need to be able to point us to an
actual, active and functioning link to your code in order to be considered for
this opening.   Strong database experience with PostgreSQL and strong XHTML
web templating/Cheetah experience along with a strong passion for and
understanding of Open Source and UNIX architecture.  This position is in a
Microsoft-free environment, developing on OSX and deploying on Linux.  Our
client is a steadily growing, Charlotte, NC-based commercial software
development firm (they are a product company, not a consulting or services
company).  You'll be doing full life cycle development (analysis, design,
architecture, development, testing, etc).  And your creative ideas and input
are not only valued here - they are required!!  You won't be just a number
here - we want and need your energy and your ideas to make our products even
better!

Again, even if you aren't interested, PLEASE take a moment to pass this info
along to any other Open Source Developers/Architects you know.  Maybe you can
help out one of your buddies - call it career karma!

*** NOTE:  Unfortunately, NO SPONSORSHIP candidates can be considered at this
time.  Some relocation assistance is available for the Pennsylvania
openings.   But for our Charlotte client, they require someone already local
to NC (or maybe a short relocation from VA or SC).  Unless you are a strong
match to the above, with current hands-on Python/Open Source development and
architecture experience and at minimum a Bachelor's Degree, we won't be
able to reply to you immediately.  We will, however, keep your resume on file
as future openings arise if it is determined you are not a fit for the current
openings.      Thank you, Nanci Cronk Account Executive/Executive Recruiter IT
