Ask HN: Looking for a software developer Akl/NZ
Hey, just started a new job and we have a need for some good software development skills. I'm looking for someone that likes building software that helps people visualise data on the web. We are in the energy/electricity industry so there are a lot geographical/time based aspects to it. Initially we are just trying to showcase how better tools are out there. This gig would suit someone graduating in November looking to get industry experience and build a portfolio over the summer. I'm not going to tell you what tools to use but i'll take some convincing before i change from preferring to use free and open source. and while i can't program, i am partial to a python/javascript/SciPy/django/matplotlib type arrangement. ultimately, we're looking to build and trumpet a better toolbox but these first baby steps are more 'mash-up some location data with google maps on a webpage and add some sliders to move through the data set', ditto with matplotlib on some market data. If you think this sounds interesting, relish the opportunity to improve upon the 'download a .xls of this data' paradigm and you're in Auckland over summer (or know someone who is) drop me a line at: joe a_t neri dot org dot nz and i'll spell out our vision in a bit more detail.
