The position requires to accomplish the following 
1. Implement a test environment with open source system called OpenSafely. https://www.opensafely.org/
2. Their project is on github https://github.com/search?l=Python&q=org%3Aopensafely-core&type=Repositories
3. Almost 100% python code, so we need strong python developer with docker and kubernetes experience, preferably with AWS ECS
4. OpenSafely team is too busy so the developer needs to learn the code although we are collaborating with OpenSafely
5. The first contribution from Medicia is likely the installation and configuration manual based on what our developer learned. So documentation skill is needed. They have user guide but have so far not the time to document the system
6. We will extend OpenSafely function for our specific needs, and this function is desirable for them but not yet on their roadmap, so the candidate developer will design and code.
7. We will implement production OpenSafely in AWS VPC, and there are batch jobs to be developed using scripting languages and Python
8. Knowing R language will be a big advantage because OpenSafely supports Python and R jobs
 
Developer will need to work independently with the Product owner located in Canada. Furthermore, if the developer is inclined to become data scientist, there is a career path to that because we will later recruit.
