I am looking for an excellent freelancer to help maintain and improve client sites. The right person would be able to suggest and implement technical improvements, have excellent spoken and written communication, and is interested in diving into new technologies and helping other businesses grow through technology.

About the business

Sandals Software is a Django consultancy. We help customers grow their business through technology, and our toolset is everything around the Django ecosystem. As a full stack engineer, you will be helping customers with every aspect of their site development and setup - from suggesting ways they can improve their business using technology, to implementing the latest technologies to help them do it.

Our customers are generally small to mid size businesses who need more than a basic site, but don't want to maintain a full development team. We provide the technical expertise to grow their business, and provide the best technology platforms to enable their success.

Work environment

We are an office-less company - everyone works remote, and at their own pace and schedule. As long as you are willing to occasionally meet over skype or hang outs, and are self directed, you can be successful.

Skill Requirements

• 2+ years of Python & Django

• Top notch communication skills
• Great leadership skills
• Self directed, and self motivated.

• I am looking for an average of 10 hours per week. If things work well, this could grow if you so desire. 
• You can work from anywhere - any country, any timezone, as long as you are flexible in meeting times.
• Work is initially for a single client who needs significant work on a large codebase.
