US: Python/Webware, Linux, SQL, PostgreSQL, HTML, XHTML, CSS, Javascript contract

A small consulting business in Champaign-Urbana (Illinois - we aren't
all Illini fans) is trying to pull high callibre resources onto a
Webware for Python project.

We are a firm that delivers Ruby (please don't hate us more) and Python
web applications to small-medium enterprises and fast growing startups.
We are currently a small collective of Python and Ruby developers with
previous lives in Java, C++ and Perl.

We do not plan on expanding fast like many have tried to do in the
past, but we are open to hiring great people on full-time in the future
when we have consistently enough work year round for extra permanent
consultants.

One of our clients would really like us to ramp up development on their
project. Unfortunately the consultants not already assigned to this
client are already over-extended for the next 1-3 months or foreseeable
future. So we are looking for two (2) part-time Python developers who
would initially consider work as independent contractors (1099).

Ideal candidates would have the following professional experience over
the last 4-5 years:
* 2+ years of Python experience, Python 2.4 is essential!
* 3+ years Linux heavy user and some deployment and administration
experience.
* Solid OO design skills
* SQLObject experience (1+ years would be ideal)
* 6 months experience with one of the following: Django, TurboGears or
Webware for Python.
* 3+ years web application development in Python or Perl
* 3+ years SQL against one of the following databases: PostgreSQL,
MySQL, Oracle or Sybase
* 3+ years HTML, XHTML, CSS, Javascript work. You don't need to be a
Javascript/AJAX guru, but be able to work with it reasonably well to
get by. Most of the work will be on the server-side!

ONLY US citizens or green card legal US residents will be considered.
Proof of this will be required before starting with us.

NO THIRDY PARTIES. NO OFFSHORE SPAM PLEASE!

If interested please let us know the following:
* Availability: When can you start? How many hours per week can you
dedicate?
* Work Environment: Where do you work from (e.g. home office, living
room, coffee shop)? What time zone are you in? What Operating System?
What hours on what days in the week are you likely to be dedicated to
working for us? Please let us know the CPU, RAM and HDD specs of the
development workstation you would use for our project.
* US status: US Citizen or Green Card?
* Asking rate: What hourly rate are you interested in for this
telecommuting project?
* Resume: Please attach your resume in Word, RTF, PDF or
OpenOffice.org (preferred) format along with the rest of the
information requested to (e-mail address removed).

The work environment questions are only used for us to determine if a
telecommute agreement makes sense for both parties. If you have an
awesome workstation/laptop, but work from a noisy construction site
without broadband access, this arrangement would not likely work out
for either party!:)

Thanks!
