Description:
Have experience with programming in other languages, and want to learn
Perl?  We’re looking for a keen junior developer to join our team.  Full
mentoring will be given - one of our senior developers has a background in
teaching programming courses, so you will have a lot of support.

You would

engine. We have a clean, modern code base (a RESTful API powered by modern
Perl, Dancer, Moose, DBIx::Class, robust Test::Class::Moose-powered test
suite etc) and constantly have new projects including new products and
features that we need to add.

We strive towards code reuse and sane coding
standards, with peer code reviews and discussion encouraged. There is a
dedicated QA team and separated dev, QA, and production environments. We
collaborate over IRC, use GitHub for version control, and Redmine for
project management in an agile environment.

In return we offer excellent
remuneration, flexible working, the chance to hang out in yet another Perl
IRC channel, no admin work whatsoever, and the opportunity to make a real
difference.  One day a week remote working may be available once settled.

About us:
UK2 Group is a large multinational web hosting company, offering
a wide range of solutions across multiple brands.  We were recently
acquired by THG - The Hut Group, a fast-growing

work, we have sysads for that, but it helps to be able to speak their
language)
