We are creating an original idea that we hope will change the way people think about social networks and online communities. We are a small team that believes in creating mind-blowing web apps that have a positive impact on the world, avoiding meetings as much as possible, iterating quickly, and having fun at work. We’re looking for a senior python programmer with architecture experience and a positive attitude to help us bring our baby to the world.

Project Ojibwe will be coming to a browser near you in Summer 2007. The web community project is a funded startup founded by a team of Canada’s top Internet entrepreneurs.

Useful experience includes Django development and web service design.

Candidates will be expected to demonstrate their ability to stand out from the crowd. Creativity and a willingness to showcase your talent will be required of the successful candidate.

This position is full-time and not contract. Please, no recruiters.

Interested candidates should contact us with a resume and portfolio by email.

While we want to see your CV we are more interested in who you are through your work and in your own words.

Introduce yourself to us, show us your work, send us a screencast, or a video of you telling us why you want to be part of what promises to be an incredibly rewarding adventure with our team. Show us your online blog, open source contributions, Flickr fetish or the communities you contribute too.

We want to get to know you, not just what is on your CV.

You can send us large file attachments by using YouSendit and any screencast, video, sample source code, or other portfolio material (along with your CV) to pythonwrangler@project-ojibwe.org.
