• You take personal pride in your work

What you’ll be doing:

• Writing well-designed, efficient and maintainable Python code
• Building user-friendly sites and systems that make use of modern web technologies (e.g. HTML5, CSS3, Javascript, AJAX)
• Designing technical solutions to fulfil client requirements in innovative yet practical ways
• Working with a smart, supportive team
