Perl Web Developer contract

Wed, 04 Jun 2008 09:09:48 GMT

Posted in Development by Guy Dickinson (perlcmsgig@googlemail.com) on behalf of working with Guy Dickinson (http://).

OVERVIEW:

This is a classic CMS upgrade gig - you'll need to get to grips with an existing custom Perl and MySQL powered CMS, build in new functionality, along with optimising the existing codebase where necessary. The application is focused around the delivery of online assessments to thousands of users at a time.

SKILLS NEEDED:

You'll need to have an experienced web developer skillset: a high level of experience with PERL, MySQL, DBI, Apache config, Javascript, general Unix (Debian preferred) *nix chops to manage deployments etc.

I'd expect you to have several years experience of working with custom CMS'. As I'm looking for the classic 'self starter', CPAN contributions, or similar code contributions will be of interest.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The site is heavily templated, with existing visual designs, and along with excellent Perl and MySQL skills, you'll need a decent grasp of css, html and in particular javascript, so classic web developer territory.

Project wise, This will be a fixed deliverable project initially, but my client base for this application is rapidly expanding, so there's the opportunity for continuing development work on the application.

You'll work directly with me, the business owner, where we'll spec out functionality together and build in an iterative process. No heavy project management stuff, just good old coding and problem solving.

While experience and skill is important, I'm particularly looking for someone who is very comfortable with loose specs, a loose project style and can take the lead on this project and make it their own.

You'll need to be superbly self-organised, and be the sort of person that tends to find themselves managing clients, not the other way around!

If you like pre-existing detailed specs, absolute deadlines, and detailed task-led projects up front, this won't be the gig for you!

However, if you can turn a set of conversations, a 'poke around' at a codebase, and some visual sketches into a detailed spec, sets of tasks and work to a self-imposed deadline, then this project is *definitely* for you!

We are looking to hire a solid Linux systems administrator to join our small team based in the centre of York, initially to take on our customer support duties on a rota basis.

We are looking for several possible additional skill sets to help us develop our business, and you might fit one or all of them. We’re not necessarily looking for experience, just a keenness to help out our customers in a professional manner, and to expand your skills in an area that would benefit both you and us.

For one, we would love to find someone who is into writing software, especially if you know Ruby or Java, you should find plenty to do among our internal applications and there is scope for starting major new projects.

Or if you see yourself in systems administration and love to see Linux systems working as a smoothly oiled machine, we have a number of clients who need your help as our managed services side ramps up, as well as some internal systems that need oiling.

You might love Cisco and network infrastructure; our 3-site multi-gigabit network is expanding and needs some intricate designs to be optimised, simulated and implemented. Your help could be invaluable.

We ask for a 37.5 hour working week, some of which can be worked from home, 25 days holiday (plus bank holidays), home broadband, eye tests, allowances for glasses, contact lenses and home office purchases.

Whether you are an A-level student, recent graduate or professional looking for new challenge, if you’re interested in working for Bytemark and know Linux well, contact Matthew Bloch with your CV, and an idea of how you might help us.

Salary: £17-23k depending on experience.
