London, UK - Pitchup.com - Python Developers
We're looking for Python developers (one senior, one more junior) at
our start-up in Chiswick, <a href="http://www.pitchup.com" > - we sell pitches at
around 600 campsites.
The site has been going for almost four years and, assuming the sun
comes out, we're expecting about 1m users/month over the summer,
before pushing into new markets during the autumn/winter.
Our small team of developers work mainly in Python and Django,
achieving multiple awards and great reviews for ease of use and speed
<a href="http://www.reviewcentre.com/Travel-Agents/Pitchup-com-www-pitchup-com-reviews_1369575" >
. Behind the scenes we've built some pretty nice features to help
campsite owners manage their vacancies and encourage them to sign up.
Pitchup.com was cited at the recent W3C/ODI/OKF Open Data on the Web
event <a href="http://www.w3.org/2013/04/odw/" > : we're aiming to go beyond the
typical travel site by integrating POIs like public transport, tourist
attractions and pubs. We were also among the early users of Twitter's
recently-launched product cards and autocomplete.
We're looking for a couple of people to work on things like payments,
international expansion, testing and personalisation, mobile and geo
(backend stack is Python / Django / Postgres / Celery / nginx / S3).
The business is profitable and was founded in 2009 by former
lastminute.com staff with a background in the holiday park sector.
We're regularly featured in the national press, and our lively,
friendly team is based at the Barley Mow Centre off Chiswick High Road
in west London.
Please drop me a line if you're interested in more information, or
