Reportlab Careers

We are looking for high-calibre individuals to join us in Wimbledon (South-West London), UK, for immediate start. Reportlab offers a chance to work on world-beating technology with very high quality mentors, a first class customer base and enormous potential for growth.

Due to the small team size, everyone has multiple roles. We are looking for people who are smart, get things done and are good team players, and this is more important than your specific skill set. At this time, remote working is NOT an option. NO AGENCIES PLEASE!

Web Developers

We're looking for up to two good all-rounders to join our team building web-based, content-backed systems to publish personalised literature. The ideal candidate will either be a graduate (Bachelors or Masters level) or have up to 2 years experience (though not necessarily commercial) working with web technologies and knowledge of several of the following skills:

• Python programming - or evidence of ability to learn multiple languages
• Good analysis skills - the ability to listen to customers, figure out where the value lies, and help decide what to build in the first place
• Understanding of web frameworks, databases, XML
• Know CSS, HTML and Javascript (an eye for visual design is a plus)
• Have the common sense to know when coding is NOT the answer and the ability to communicate clearly with non-programmers
• Common practices in agile, open-source-style development

Our work covers the full stack from front-end through to server-side development, in a modern open source environment. We use Python, Django and MySQL on all common platforms, jquery and similar libraries for rich interfaces, as well as our own products for PDF generation.

'The Apprentice'

We're looking for an ambitious graduate generalist to work in "business development". You will be reporting directly to the CEO assisting with "whatever it takes" to help grow our business. Responsibilities will be varied and will cover - ensuring the company's products and services are clearly communicated to the world through the website and are easy to adopt - taking customer's ideas and turning them into value-adding project proposals, then supervising the delivery by our development team - helping to standardise and monitor processes to let the business scale up

You will need energy, enthusiasm, excellent verbal and written communications skills, common sense and an analytical frame of mind. There are no specific technical skills required but a good understanding of the web is important.

This is an ideal preparation for any career in consultancy, marketing or general management.
