Perl Developer, (Oxford or London, UK / Telecommute)
Adestra was formed in 2004 as an email marketing service provider, with a
focus on responsible marketing. Since then we have been successful in
developing and deploying our web based email marketing platform,
MessageFocus.
We're currently working on MessageFocus v2, a Catalyst, Moose and
DBIx::Class based replacement for MessageFocus, which is approaching
Alpha release status. We are looking for an experienced, full-time
Senior Perl Developer to help us bring this project to completion and
assist in its continued development.
Day to day duties are centred on designing and implementing features for
the MessageFocus web interface. Although, as part of a small team, you
will have the opportunity to work on many different aspects of the
system from user interface design to scaling high-throughput,
high-availability systems.
A strong understanding and commercial experience with modern Perl
programming and development practices is essential, along with
experience developing web interfaces and working with databases.
Experience with any of the following would be advantageous:
- PostgreSQL
- Catalyst or other MVC web frameworks
- DBIx::Class or ORM systems in general
- Moose
- JavaScript
- "NoSQL" databases
- Designing high-availablity systems
- Scaling web-based applications
Previous experience with Catalyst/DBIC/Moose development would be
considered a significant advantage.
