    Our Lucasfilm Information Systems team values support 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 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…
