You will build a chat-based (websockets) e-commerce platform.  RESTful APIs + SPA.

Minimum requirements

• at least 2 years of solid (and recent!) Python and Django experience (you know the good parts and the bad parts of Django, as well as good 3rd-party libraries to use)
  
• at least 2 years of solid GNU/Linux / *nix experience (in an emergency, you know what commands to run to salvage your machine)
  
• knows how the Internet works (no kidding!)
  
• strong Git knowledge (you know the commands and not just "I know how to commit")
  
• strong OOP knowledge (you have a deep understanding of OO and more than "I know how to write classes!")

• STRONG UNDERSTANDING of REST and RESTful web services (you know more than the acronym)
  
• strong data modeling and SQL and RDBMS background (PostgreSQL or MySQL) (you know how to structure data and use the RDBMS effectively and not just "I know how to create a table!")
• experience with agile development practices (you know more than scrum)
  
• STRONG COMMUNICATION SKILLS (you speak outside of the daily standups)
• AMBITION (you know what you're doing with your career and your life has more meaning than figuring out what to post next on Facebook)
