Job title: Perl Developer (Mid / Senior Level)

Company name: Adestra

Location: Oxford, United Kingdom

Terms of employment: Salaried employee

Hours: Full time

Onsite: yes

Description:
We're looking for a bright, enthusiastic, experienced Perl developer to
join our Oxford-based team to assist with the ongoing development of our
SaaS email marketing platform.

Here's a bit of information about our
codebase and how we work:

We use Catalyst as the framework for our main
application server, and we have another (very high volume and much more
specialised) webserver running the Plack-based Starman. Almost everything
passes through one of those two systems. Our ORM layer uses DBIx::Class,
and pretty much everything else is a Moose class.

We did a ground-up
rewrite of our application layer a few years back, so we don't have tons of
ancient code in dark corners. We prioritise code quality and
maintainability over releasing features quickly, so it's generally a
pleasant codebase to work on.

We're constantly looking for ways to improve
what we do, so we're pushing heavily to improve our processes by employing
things like Modern Perl techniques, test-driven development and agile
project management processes where we can. We're a fairly small team
willing to make changes where necessary to make the best product we can.

Day to day work can include anything and everything from database schema
design and optimisation, high-throughput scaling work, simple things like
small bugfixes and enhancements, to almost anything else related to our
platform. One of the biggest benefits of working in a small team is you'll
have the opportunity to try out new things and make a real difference to
our platform.

Package:
You will receive a competitive salary with the
opportunity to be part of the Company’s bonus scheme, as well as:
•      
Gold membership to over 200 discounts and perks through our online benefit
portal including free mobile phone insurance, money off holidays and
discounted cinema tickets
•	25 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays
and an extra day off for your birthday!
•	Free on-site parking at our
central Oxford office, just ten minutes’ walk from town
•	Company
pension scheme
•	Various travel schemes such as cycle to work
•      
Childcare vouchers

•	Private health
insurance
•	Group life assurance
•	Working in a BS EN ISO
27001, 9001:2000 and Investors in People Silver accredited company, superb
training and development opportunities are offered as the business
continues to grow

Desired skills:
Successful candidates would ideally be experienced Perl programmers,
although we're willing to consider someone with experience with a similar
language and a willingness to learn Perl. We would expect at least some
experience with creating web-based applications.
•	Perl
•      
Databases, particularly PostgreSQL and NoSQL systems like Redis
•      
Web-based application development
•	API design

Here are some of the
technologies we use heavily, experience with any of these would be very
beneficial:

•      
DBIx::Class
•	PostgreSQL
•	FreeBSD/CentOS
•	SQL and
