## About the Role

Are you a Scottish based Python Engineer looking for a new challenge?

I have an immediate opportunity for an experienced Python Engineer to help design and build software that powers large?scale storage platforms for our blue chip client in Glasgow.

 * Solid understanding of Computer Science fundamentals.
 * Experience of SDLC best practice on large software development projects.
 * The ability to organise work and prioritise multiple projects.
 * Familiarity with object-oriented concepts and SQL programming.
 * Knowledge of storage technologies such as Fibre Channel, iSCSI, SCSI, NFS, CIFS, POSIX, object storage, RAID and distributed/scale-out storage.
 * Understanding of client/server and scale-out architectures, performance and capacity management.
 * Experience with Linux in an enterprise ecosystem at intermediate level or above, with effective troubleshooting across OS, network and storage.
