Swoop Mobile is an innovative Silicon Valley company where video and text messaging meet social networks, together at last in a mobile web application. We are looking for a Jedi Web Developer, with experience using Python and Django. Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to work with our team to design and build a social web application for mobile devices. Does this sound interesting to you? Read on!

The candidate must have experience building web applications. Please be an expert (1-3 years' experience is great) with the following technologies and tools:
-Apache - Compiling, configuration and management, SSL, modules
-Python/Django - Doesn't it say that in the title? - Data Modeling - Web Services; consume data from REST, JSON, XML APIs, HTTP, and the ability to create web services to syndicate to partner sites - Integration of multiple Django apps (modular design is good) - Experience with migrations, particularly the South framework
-SQL/PostgreSQL - Have a an excellent grasp of DB concepts
-Linux - Familiarity with Ubuntu - bonus!
-CLI tools and vi - Emacs and nano is cool, too
-MVC Architecture - if you work with Django, you know what we mean

Nice to have:
-Browser environments - Javascript, jQuery, or some other equally useful libraries
-RDFA
-Familiarity with data indexing/mining
-Facebook/Twitter/Google/Yahoo/Linkshare

With all that said, we want to have fun and we want you to have fun, too! We are a fun, youthful crew, and if you love what you are doing, life is not as difficult or as painful as people make it. Our interests are diverse-- some of us play music, most of us play Wii and other Xbox/PS3 faves, and all of us dig the arts. But no matter who you are or what you do, it's what you bring to the team that is most important. We want someone who is a vibrant character, who has a sense of humor and who wants genuinely to work with us. It's a startup environment, and most of our team is running full out right now, so having a great personality and being able to hit the ground running will help the work flow smoothly. At Swoop Mobile, you will find people who genuinely care for each other, bring passion into their work and everything they do. We have integrity and open communication. We aren't afraid to talk straight to each other, and our minds and doors are always open to new ideas and new people.

Sound like the fit for you? Please be willing and able to submit work examples, tell us how many years' experience you have with the above technologies, and be ready to take a code test. We'd love to hear from you. Get in touch if you are interested!
