Perl Developer

August 2nd, 2011 Bre No comments

Our client loves Perl. They specialize in stock photo and videos, and are at the forefront of technology and research. They do fascinating things with search, discovery, recommendation engines, and scalability. We are looking for great Perl engineers for our client to help continue to be a leader in their industry.  They are an agile shop, and focus on close interaction, so you’ll have to be local to the New York area.  But if you’re awesome enough, we’ll move you out here!

They look for hard core Perl developers.  They will also consider candidates who have a Ruby, Python PHP background and teach them Perl.  Candidates must have experience working in an Agile environment.  A MySQL background is preferred but not required.

Sample code instructions:

  * Your code sample is a large part of your interview process with Our Client. If they like the sample, they’ll bring you in for two or three hours of interviewing, and make a decision. So it might make sense to put some effort into the code sample if you’re interested in getting hired at!

Please keep the following in mind as you put together a code sample:

         The complexity of your solution should match the complexity of the problem you’re solving. That is, don’t make your code overly complex to show us how good a programmer you are. Show us how well you can code, decomposing the problem rationally, and solving the sub-problems clearly. Include one or two ‘tricks’ if you think that’s appropriate.

         Something that shows your skill as a Perl programmer, and your skills as a professional programmer.

         We like short code samples. The ideal length would be about 100 lines of tight, clean code.

         We also like object oriented code because it shows your use of modern, large-scale programming metaphors.

         Your code sample should include all pieces necessary to run, including input files, and instructions about how to run the code, and what to expect.

We’d especially like to see code that covers one or more of the following topics:

         Image Manipulation

         Databases

         Batch Processing

         Something you think is relevant to high-volume websites or large amounts of data. 

         Again, we like short code samples! 100 lines of code seems about appropriate.
