Programmers - Python, Django, and client side programming, MySQL, NoSQL - oDesk

NOTE: DO NOT APPLY TO THIS POSITION WITHOUT READING THE JOB DESCRIPTION, AND ANSWERING THE QUESTIONS PRESENTED BELOW.



We are looking for individuals who are experts in Django, for ongoing active development on a few systems, writing code as part of a team in Python and client side (JS), based on very specific directions.

If you can also speak other languages (ruby, Java, php, even C#), we like you even better - please specify in your application.

High level of UI expertise is always desired.

NoSQL experience is a must.



You will be working as part of a team of individuals from around the world in programming the front end of a very scalable, robust and ubiquitous applications. You need to be a great programmer with a lot of experience - do not apply if you're a web designer or a css person - you need to be a developer.



You must answer the following questions in your very first application:

1. Under what circumstances would you avoid using the Django platform?

2. How do you describe the data layer in Django? Where would you place additional functionality to the domain objects? And where would you put behavior that is related to the entire table?

3. What would be the syntax to place a Python code block in a Django template?

4. Choose one NoSQL product, describe what it is supposed to be used for, and under which circumstances you would choose an RDBMS and not this NoSQL.



Here are a couple of points to help you end up getting considered and not automatically disqualified:



1) Answer the question above. Do not disregard this request, and do not offer to talk to us on an IM - we can't talk to all candidates this early in the process.

In your cover letter, please start by answering the question - it's the first thing we'd like to read. We have a non-technical person going though the initial batch and throwing out any application where our interview question wasn't answered.



2) We hire many people for many similar positions on oDesk, and yet we take the time to write every job opening description so that potential providers can really understand what we're looking for. In return although we realize you apply to many positions on oDesk, we still expect you to write a serious non-recycled cover letter for your application. To begin with, not answering the interview question we have included kind of shows that you are recycling.



3) We're hiring individuals - not companies. If you know of other great people, maybe we can hire them too (individually...). If you work for a company, we won't hire you, so don't bother. It's nothing personal - it's just that we were never able to make it work with people working for someone else. In your application please specify "I am an individual contractor".



4) We hire people with the intent of providing them with as much work as they can handle, for a long period of time. Do not apply if you can only invest an hour a day. Do not apply if you already a full time job somewhere else - even if you think you can work two jobs - we don't think it works.

We're willing to wait for you if you're just wrapping up something else, but pretty soon you'll need to dedicate a full time position to our projects, during YOUR working hours (that is, not 11pm through 3am, your time).



Thanks!
