Fourth Estate® Hiring for Full Stack Python Developer at Remote Full Time

Wait!!! What is Superdesk?

Superdesk is an open-source news creation, production, curation, distribution and publishing platform. You can read more about it here: https://www.superdesk.org/about , or dig into the code repository and stack at: https://github.com/superdesk/superdesk

You will play a key role, designing and implementing and managing various Superdesk components and features. As part of small and growing you will have the opportunity to work on our own projects as well as contributing code to back to the open-source project. You will be instrumental in building systems and software in support of our global public-benefit journalism mission.

Responsibilities
Design, develop, and maintain our Superdesk codebase, applications and scalable cloud-based technologies. Solve problems and squash bugs as they arise as we scale and grow our member base. Work to integrate new and existing services and products.
