Love Python and Django? So do we!

At Context we use Django and Python to develop our in-house web applications, the largest project being our back-office application (CHAOS) that does everything from scheduling jobs to financial forecasting and even planning social events. CHAOS already interfaces with our SugarCRM sales software via a REST API and upcoming integration work will link it to our new finance system.

We're also developing a large scale distributed automated vulnerability scanning engine and maintain a penetration testing administration system. And last but not least, we're developing a document writing tool (think Google Docs for writing security testing reports) using Ember.js and Django REST framework.

We're looking for a Python/Django developer to join the software development team in Context's London office. We are a small team (you'd be developer number six) but we like to punch above our weight and build software that really makes a difference. Almost all the software we use is open-source and we like to contribute back to the community (see github.com/ctxis for projects we've been working on).

This role will involve interacting with other parts of the business and also external clients to understand what they want our systems to do, so in addition to being a great programmer, you need to be very good at listening to users and translating their needs into software requirements.
