Working @ Enthought

Enthought is a company where:

• You will help develop scientific applications for domains ranging from geophysics to fluid dynamics to financial analysis.
• You can combine advanced algorithm development with modern software engineering practices, such as component-based architectures, application scripting, and user-centered interaction design.
• You can participate in a holistic approach to software development, in which architects and developers team with technical writers, human factors specialists, and project managers (always highly technical individuals) to develop a complete solution for customers.
• Much of the work is based on the Python programming language, and you can actively engage open source development (www.scipy.org and code.enthought.com).
• The company is small and dynamic, but stable and growing.

Enthought is a scientific computing company located in downtown Austin, Texas (map and directions to our office). We're lucky enough to work on interesting problems, and we're always looking for talented people to join us.
