Media Pop is almost entirely a Python and Django shop with a small but technically competent and helpful tech team that work towards a common vision of quality and a technologically pleasant work environment.

If not you'll pick it up as you need: * Python * Django * MySQL * Facebook, Twitter API experience. * Git * Linux (Ubuntu / RHEL) * Amazon Web Services * Nginx * Supervisord * Jenkins * PHP (only about 5% of what we do is PHP, we try to avoid it) * WordPress * node.js * Ruby
