Hi All,

are still growing our Perl team significantly and have openings from
junior through to senior developer level; I've attached a sample spec
below to illustrate the technologies that we use here.  If you're
interested in finding out more about careers with us please feel free to

are active in the community.  I will be accompanying the team to Riga so
look forward to the opportunity to meet with you in person then also!
