[JOB] Perl / Database Developer - Financial Sector

[ben@bpfh.net]

People frequently ask "How do I get into perl in the financial industry"?

Well, here's one way. This is a job for a Perl/Database developer. Preferred
DB is Sybase, but they might well consider someone who had decent skills
in another DB.

The team that are hiring are really nice - I have several friends over 
there and the environment is top-notch. They are prepared to consider a
range of seniorities - from fairly junior to quite senior. As always,
attitude is far more important than almost anything else.

Let me know if you're interested and/or send me a CV.

Thanks,

Ben
