IS Software Engineer (PH)

IS Software Engineer (PH) Location Remote in California :

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 amazing people to work in a phenomenal department! 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 25 years, so 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. We are continuously refining our processes, and encourage our developers to explore tools, techniques, and other sorts of meta-development to make themselves more productive.

You'll be part of a group that gets along well, whether it's solving a technical issue, attending a company screening, or joining a zoom hangout on a Friday afternoon. The team is primarily ‘hybrid,' based out of beautiful offices in Burbank and San Francisco, with a combination of in-person and remote work. Fully remote work is also an option for this role.

We exist to support fast paced production companies, and you will work with the knowledge that whatever you write will immediately make the job easier for someone down the hall, at Skywalker Ranch, or at one of our studios or location shoots around the world. Lucasfilm is looking for a full-stack Python developer to join a motivated and flexible production software team. The developers in Lucasfilm Information Systems (IS) build workflow-driven applications that allow our users to efficiently create movies, TV shows, magazines, books, and games.

We're hiring humble experts to join a team of well-rounded developers that thrive in an informal environment, one in which managers are there to support the process and fill in the gaps, so that developers are free to do their jobs.

We support a broad range of users-from non-technical cast and crew, who just need tools to securely access scripts or other reference; to full-time digital asset managers, whose whole workday is spent performing sophisticated administrative tasks in these same systems.

We're looking for someone who is comfortable working on database-driven applications from the back-to front-end. Your primary focus would be on providing configuration and customization for production needs as they arise, and helping develop self-service capabilities for these same expert users.

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering or other technical degree, or equivalent years of experience
• 3+ years of professional software development experience
• Strong Python skillset, with proven contributions to significant Python applications
• Experience with Python web and API frameworks
• Single page web app experience with modern JavaScript frameworks
• Excellent interpersonal, communication, and client-facing skills
• Database/SQL/ORM experience
• Linux proficiency

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with media: transcode, colorspace management, playback optimization
• Familiarity supporting film/tv/print media/game production processes and culture
• Security orientation, and experience working with and protecting critical data
• Experience with async Python
• Pride in growing test coverage of codebase

The hiring range for this remote position is $112,500 to $151,00 per year. The base pay actually offered will take into account internal equity and also may vary depending on the candidate's geographic region, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience among other factors. A bonus and/or long-term incentive units may be provided as part of the compensation package, in addition to the full range of medical, financial, and/or other benefits, dependent on the level and position offered.
