London, UK - Pitchup.com - Python Developers

===================================

We're looking for Python developers (one senior, one more junior) at our start-up in Chiswick, west London http://www.pitchup.com - we sell pitches at around 600 campsites in the UK, France and Ireland.

We receive around 60,000 visits per day, up 200% since last summer, and around 5,000 bookings per week. After celebrating our fourth birthday last Monday, we'll be expanding into new markets during the autumn/winter.

Our small team of developers work mainly in Python and Django, achieving multiple awards and great reviews for ease of use and speed http://www.reviewcentre.com/Travel-Agents/Pitchup-com-www-pi... Behind the scenes we've built some pretty nice features to help campsite owners manage their vacancies and encourage them to sign up.

Pitchup.com was cited at the recent W3C/ODI/OKF Open Data on the Web event http://www.w3.org/2013/04/odw/ : we're aiming to go beyond the typical travel site by integrating POIs like public transport, tourist attractions and pubs. We were also among the early users of Twitter's recently-launched product cards and autocomplete.

We're looking for a couple of people to work on things like payments, international expansion, testing and personalisation, mobile and geo (backend stack is Python / Django / Postgres / Celery / nginx / S3).

The business is profitable and was founded in 2009 by former lastminute.com staff with a background in the holiday park sector. We're regularly featured in the national press, and our lively, friendly team is based at the Barley Mow Centre off Chiswick High Road in west London.

Please drop me a line if you're interested in more information, or apply at http://www.pitchup.com/jobs .
