Position Summary

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer who reflects the innovative spirit, creative talent, production excellence, collaborative mindset and passion for great filmmaking that define Lucasfilm.

As a Senior Software Engineer for Information Systems (InfoSys) you will work on creative, robust cross platform applications that enable Lucasfilm, Lucasfilm Productions and its subdivisions to efficiently operate. The breadth of InfoSys applications ranges from deep integrations with 3rd party software to proprietary web applications built around Lucasfilm workflows. Developers build new applications, support and enhance existing systems, and integrate 3rd party applications into existing software infrastructure. You will interact with a wide range of clients from all aspects of the company, learn new workflows, and work on both simple and complex solutions to increase efficiency and productivity across all of Lucasfilm.

About IS

Our Lucasfilm Information Systems team values pride and earnestness, idealism and pragmatism, and focusing on the customer as much as the code. We have a "no arrogance" policy and want to hire awesome people to work in a great department. We love source control, testing and Linux. We value Scout Rule coding ("leave the code cleaner than you found it") and finding the right tool for the right job. We're at a company that has used Python for nearly 25 years, and balancing legacy systems and future needs is a daily battle, but that is the nature of software—reading code is as important as writing it.

You'll be part of a group that enjoys working together - whether it's tackling issues for our clients, debating the latest technical trends, or sharing favorite recipes, music and DIY projects . We exist to support our customers, and you will work with the knowledge that whatever you write will immediately make the job easier for someone at ILM, at Skywalker Ranch, or at one of our studios or location shoots around the world.

What You'll Do

Full stack development of robust applications
Build and support complex integrations with key 3rd party platforms such as Zendesk, SpaceIQ, JIRA, GitLab
Design and maintain healthy relational database schemas
Work with management and other developers to implement elegant and user-friendly interfaces for all new modules and/or applications
Create and deploy virtual machines
Support multiple web and database servers to ensure constant availability, functionality, synchronization and security
Develop, deploy, document and maintain code in keeping with IS guidelines
Write UI and unit tests
Bug fixes and enhancement requests for existing applications
Monitor use of existing systems, and suggest strategies to improve health and reduce technical debt
Maintain web infrastructure tools such as caching, analytics and authentication
Participate in code reviews, test new concepts and technologies, suggest improvements in technical direction
Build stand alone modules and smaller web applications for use by clients across the organization

What We're Looking For

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or other technical degree
5+ years experience in professional web and/or software development
Python fluency (Python 2.6+, Python 3.3+)
JavaScript expertise
Linux proficiency
Database/SQL experience
Full stack web development experience
Solid knowledge of HTML/HTML5
In depth knowledge of responsive CSS design
Experience coding against 3rd party API’s, especially Google
Excellent interpersonal, communication, and client-facing skills

Nice to have:

Web & CMS frameworks: Wordpress, Flask/Bottle, Django, Plone3, APEX
JavaScript libraries: Vue.js, jQuery, Angular, React
Web servers: Nginx, uWSGI, Apache
Data stores/tools: Solr, Oracle, PostgreSQL, SQLAlchemy, Firestore, GraphQL
