We are writing our back end in Python but will happily hire a Back End coder who has experience in any of Perl, Ruby, Java, PHP, Node.js and the like.
Our Entry-Level QA position would be perfect for recent college graduates as well as technically inclined high school graduates. We will consider part-time work for current high school students.

Hi Michael. It's good to see someone who appreciates dead-tree postal mail applications. I've overseen hiring via other methods... FAX was the worst, given that the office deciding to solicit faxed applications had only an inexpensive thermal-paper fax machine. They went through a lot of paper when the employment service office started routinely faxing an application on behalf of anyone and everyone. Requiring someone to go to the trouble and minor expense in order to submit helps weed out the real submissions from the "what the heck, why not" ones. Wisdom befitting a jobs site.
Getting the backend and frontend both just right, and in harmony, will never happen, of course, but I wish you and your developers the best in getting as close as you can.
I might be tempted to apply*--bipolar disorder and PTSD have limited my job prospects, and it's tough to find an employer who's able to make the "reasonable accommodation" required by law, but I suspect you'd be the one able to hire people who "don't quite fit" otherwheres. I salute you for doing so, as well as for being willing to take a chance on kids from high school to fresh college graduate age. Thanks for what you're doing.
* But you'll probably be better off with whomever you end up with, as my skills deteriorate more and more with time.
