Job Summary: Our *** Information Systems team values pride and earnestness, idealism and pragmatism, and focusing on the customer as much as the code. We have a "no arrogance" policy and want to hire awesome people to work in a phenomenal department! We value Scout Rule coding ("leave the code cleaner than you found it") and finding the right tool for the right job. We're at a company that has used Python for 25 years, so balancing legacy systems and future needs is a daily battle, but that is the nature of software-reading code is as important as writing it. We are continuously refining our processes, and encourage our developers to explore tools, techniques, and other sorts of meta-development to make themselves more productive.
You'll be part of a group that gets along well, whether it's solving a technical issue, attending a company screening, or joining a zoom hangout on a Friday afternoon. The team is primarily 'hybrid,' based out of beautiful offices in Burbank and San Francisco, with a combination of in-person and remote work. Fully remote work is also an option for this role.
We exist to support fast paced production companies, and you will work with the knowledge that whatever you write will im *** tely make the job easier for someone down the hall, at Skywalker Ranch, or at one of our *** or location shoots around the world.
The seasoned full-stack Python developer will join a motivated and flexible production software team. The developers in *** Information Systems (IS) build workflow-driven applications that allow our users to efficiently create movies, TV shows, magazines, books, and games. We're hiring humble experts to join a team of well-rounded developers that thrive in an informal environment, one in which managers are there to support the process and fill in the gaps, so that developers are free to do their jobs.
We support a broad range of users-from non-technical cast and crew, who just need tools to securely access scripts or other reference; to full-time digital asset managers, whose whole workday is spent performing sophisticated administrative tasks in these same systems.
We're currently onboarding new user groups into our tools, and your main focus would be on supporting those migrations. This effort will involve deep-dives into the tools, workflows, and data models these groups are moving away from, so that we can bring their data and processes into our tools as seamlessly as possible. You'll be our team's guide on this source data, and will work closely with the broader team on how best to represent it in the target tool. Strong user-orientation is key to this role, complementing deep technical expertise.
