Hi list, I'm urgently seeking a freelancer to take the reigns on the backend for a Borough, London based startup's product.
Due to scheduling mishaps I need to give up what is otherwise an incredibly fun and engaging project on a great team, however my loss may be your gain, so please read on.. :) This project would suit someone with good overall Python toolset knowledge, at least an exposure to Django (although preferably a bit more than that), and ideally a strong knowledge of, or burning desire to see PostgreSQL used in extreme anger. The product is a mobile data analytics platform, consisting of: * One user-facing Django application serving up an Angular app and implementing it's backing API using Django rest_framework. You do not need to touch the Angular parts, but a passing familiarity with Angular and the contemporary frontend toolchain may be beneficial. * One device-facing Django application serving up a separate Django rest_framework API and implementing a bunch of preprocessing logic for incoming impressions. * A pretty hairy PostgreSQL installation, making heavy use of SQLAlchemy Core to generate reporting queries, along with an Rq-based task queue that maintains consistency between raw impression data and materialized summaries based on user filters. Example query: https://gist.github.com/dw/c6cf10f83d1ccb9606ff * Device-side SDKs for Android and iOS. This role does not cover these components, but if you enjoy flexing your Objective C or Java skills, that could be a big plus. Our full tech list: * Python 2.7 & virtualenv * Django 1.8, rest_framework 3.2 * SQLAlchemy 0.9 * Ansible 1.9 * PostgreSQL 9.4 * Redis 3.0 and Rq 0.5 * Ubuntu 14.04 For more information, please get in touch by forwarding a recent CV to Isambard Poulson at <isamb...@huq.io>, including a few short comments on problems you've spotted or improvements you might make to the example query linked above. Thanks! David _______________________________________________ python-uk mailing list python-uk@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-uk
