<br>
OO Perl Developer - London - Excellent beer money (according to
exp.) - Full time/Permanent/On-site Only<br>
<br>
About the Job<br>
<br>
We have a number of truly unique Perl developer opportunities
(varied levels), available at a company responsible for the UK's
leading news aggregation website, one of the UK’s largest
independent online publishing operations.<br>
<br>
Now in its 15th year, NewsNow is one of the UK’s great unsung
success stories. Today its website serves up to 150m page views a
month, and reaches a significant proportion of UK internet users -
nearly 1 in 7 working age males. Traffic is set to double in three
years.<br>
<br>
This is a great opportunity to make a difference at a company still
looking to make a difference - to popular news consumption habits -
at the same time as further broadening its appeal, reach and market
share.<br>
<br>
We are looking for several developers to join the team, and help us
build new features and enhancements to our Perl platform - this
includes back-end bots, search technology, server control
functionality and front-end interfaces.<br>
<br>
We need hard-working, professional developers, who want to make a
difference and aren't afraid of a challenge. Our Perl development
team builds the platform behind all aspects of the business,
including the websites (classic & mobile), data processing,
analysis, reporting, and CRM. The architecture is mainly based on
Linux, Apache, nearly 200k lines of Perl, MySQL, Amazon Web Services
(EC2/S3), memcached and other technologies (including NewsNow
NetStart and other clever stuff we’re just beginning to open
source).<br>
<br>
Essentials:<br>
<br>
* Strong OO Perl development skills<br>
* Linux (ideally Debian/Ubuntu), Apache2, MySQL<br>
* Database / data-processing experience<br>
* XHTML, CSS<br>
<br>
Desirables:<br>
<br>
* Amazon's Web Services (EC2/S3)<br>
* Large-scale data processing, distributed systems<br>
* Good theoretical grounding, whether obtained via academia or work
experience<br>
* Ajax, jQuery, visual design skills<br>
