About IS
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.

We exist to support fast moving production companies, and you will work with the knowledge that whatever you’re doing will immediately impact people around the world.
