Kartoza - Opening for Python Developer at Kartoza

Kartoza is on the lookout for developers. We have a range of projects and challenges and will tailor the post to suit the ideal candidate.

Kartoza does desktop, server and web development, testing and support for a local and international clientele and we're also working on our own ideas. Most of our projects have a spatial component. We use FOSS tools and produce mostly FOSS outputs. We have a very 'open' philosophy.

We have an international team with a fairly flat structure where your opinion counts. Your initiative and input into internal projects will be rewarded.
