# Description:

Living Independently Group, Inc., an early-state company in New York 
City, seeks a senior Python developer to join its small tech team. We 
make a system designed to help family members monitor the health of a 
senior citizen living alone, through an inexpensive system of motion 
sensors.

The responsibilities for the position include:
* Writing code in Python, both for web interface (new development is in 
CherryPy, there is legacy Zope and PHP) and back-end batch calculations. 
SQL database is central to the system. Pair-programming and test 
automation will be used extensively.
* Administering servers (accounts, backup, maintenance, networking, 
etc.) (servers are hosted at iNetU, and we have a primary in-house 
sysadmin, so there's not much of this)
* Responding to server outage events (keep cell-phone on to get pages) 
(mostly as backup to SA, plus in case a subsystem you "own" has a problem)
* Performing some in-house technical/customer support (as backup to 
existing support team, if they're in the field)

# Required Skills:

Skills required:
* Software development in lean/agile environment. Automated test 
development.
* Communication: with technical and non-technical staff; oral and 
written (wiki, email).
* Agile software development collaborative practices: team-based 
analysis and design, documentation, source-code tracking, etc.

Personal attributes:
* Comfortable in start-up environment: ongoing change in plans; lack of 
support staff; need for self-management via constant dialogue; etc.

Education/experience:
* Bachelors Degree in technical field from accredited university.
* 5+ years of software development.
