Description: Make Festicket into the social/travel/e-commerce hub you wished all the others were.  Work with a small team to constantly reinvent how people go to music festivals.  Have a say in the company's future and how we get there.Build the features you’ve always wanted to see, and see your work go live in days rather than months – we avoid feature creep, deploy quick and let actual feedback and statistics define our roadmap. At Festicket, developers drive the schedule so you’ll have the time you need to do it right.Be involved in the full stack – frontend and backend – and even in overall company strategy and brainstorming. Have a festival you’d like to see us go to, a killer marketing strategy, a better way to organise ourselves, or a cool feature? We’re listening.
Requirements: The TechOn the backend, we've got:Django 1.6 (Python 2.7)PostgreSQL 9RedisGunicornNginx And on the frontend:HTML 5SASSCSS 3BootstrapJavascriptjQuery  We use Git for version control and awesomely-simple deployments.Your AttitudeYou’re someone who’s smart, organised, motivated and gets things done. You want to work in a startup environment, because you like the idea of doing a bit of everything.  You have ideas about everything, and you’re not afraid to argue your point (while respecting everyone else’s of course). You’re always thinking three steps ahead – about user experience, testability, security loopholes, caching, database optimisation, and even code organisation. You’re constantly thinking “how can we do this better?” You can make intelligent tradeoffs, avoid Not-Invented-Here syndrome, and work under an occasional bit of pressure.Your Skill SetYou have experience in an object-oriented language, preferably Python, and experience working on full stack web development using the MVC pattern or something vaguely similar. And you have some experience using SQL, preferably PostgreSQL.  You're familiar with Django already or you've used similar enough frameworks you can hit the ground running.You’re completely comfortable with HTML5, CSS3, and Javascript. Hopefully you use SASS or LESS, namespace your Javascript, and are familiar with responsive design. It would be great too if you had experience making mobile apps in iOS or Android.You’re also totally fine with the command line, you use git, and you’ve installed Linux on something before or hacked on your OS X box.It would be awesome if you’d had experience with one or more of Redis, Gunicorn, Nginx, Bootstrap, jQuery, or Ubuntu; or if you’ve worked in the travel, music, or e-commerce industries before. But it’s not a requirement.And if you don’t meet one or two of these requirements, or if some of your experience has just been on personal projects, but you’re someone who can read the manual then jump in both feet and learn by doing, why not drop us a line anyways? We'll want to talk to you.
Benefits: We’re located at South Bank, just behind the Oxo Building, 2 minutes walk from Blackfriars station and only a few more from Southwark station.  We'll be sharing an office with some other companies at the posh South Bank WeWork.  It's split into semi-private offices, so you'd be sharing an office with other Festicket developers only - meaning no annoying people on the phone right behind you :).  When you need to step away from the desk, there's free coffee and beer all day and a bar with a terrace on the top floor! (don't let this happen).  And of course, you're on the South Bank with all of its street food opportunities from the Real Food market at Waterloo to Borough Market at London Bridge.  And if you live in the right place you can take a boat to work, and who doesn't want that? ;)To ApplySend us your CV and a bit about why you’re interested in the position and why we'd be interested in you, and we’ll be in touch.  Or if you have any questions about the position before applying, let us know.
