Network and Systems Programming Jobs With Python

It is more than feeling. Statistics show that unemployment and poverty are real concerns for many people right now. About the only non-manual job that is seeing regular employment growth in the US is higher education. With 12% of the US living below the poverty line and a minimum 5% of the workforce unemployed, it is easy to see why there is an increase in enrollment and retraining.

If you can program in Python, you have a head start on the future. Python programmers are increasingly in demand. The average Python developer in Seattle, Washington, for example, makes around $74,000 per annum. In the UK, a Python programmer makes a minimum of £38,282 p.a. ($73,281 USD p.a).

Here are a few more employers who are seeking Python programmers, this time for system and network programming. (For web development jobs see this entry.)

• Google needs tech support engineers who program Python
• Revver in Hollywood needs a Python network developer who is familiar with the Twisted framework
• The Nature Conservancy in Virginia seeks to hire a Senior Programmer Analyst
