Python 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. 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. 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. If we only have ten years to save the world, then you agree with us that it should be done with efficient, elegant and maintainable code.

Technology plays a key role in all More's work, which ranges from modern user-centred web applications and interactive public displays to policy innovation, research and strategic consultancy.

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 enjoy 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 are not looking for shortcuts to build a site, but instead value the detail that results from the extra effort you put in.

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 enjoy working on open-source projects and like to get involved in them wherever you can.
