About us:

Adzuna is a job search engine that lists every job, everywhere.
From launch in the UK in 2011, we now have more than 10 million visitors a
month and are busy conquering the world from our office in West London.
Right now, we're seeking an experienced Perl Developer to join our world
class tech team in helping millions of people find better, more fulfilling
jobs.

The role:

Our engineering and product teams are pivotal to Adzuna's
future. It's an exciting time as we scale our existing product offering and
also innovate with new tools and user experiences that 'surprise and
delight' our audience, like ValueMyCV, which we're really proud of. Our
infrastructure is built around industry-standard open-source tools and runs
on distributed clusters, supporting 16 internationalised Adzuna websites,
as well as the 'Find a job' portal that we run on behalf of the UK
Government.

Based in our great Fulham office, (or remotely) you will work
with a smart team of back end, dev/ops, data science/machine learning and
product specialists, overseeing all aspects of our operations, ranging from
powering our international websites, aggregating classifieds from thousands
of external sources, to crunching job market data to power our statistics
and applying machine learning algorithms to enhance job seekers’
experience.

At Adzuna you will work independently in a fast-moving,
low-structure environment where you will have the opportunity to help shape
our technical direction and processes as we grow. An appreciation of the
‘DevOps’ movement is essential as we manage and monitor the systems
ourselves. Vitally, you’ll value the importance of building structured code
that is fast, scalable, reliable and robust.

The projects you will work on
will include new search features, relevancy and matching algorithms, APIs
and ‘big data’ analysis, reporting tools and features to enhance the job
search experience on Adzuna. Our systems have been built to scale, and you
will be able to demonstrate your experience in writing scalable code
running in distributed environments.

Our opportunity offers the chance to
build something to be proud of, whilst becoming a part of one of the
fastest growing businesses in Europe. We offer a supportive working
environment, with an emphasis on team-working, mentoring and training. It's
fun and fast moving. Join us!

About you:

We don't like to put people in
boxes, but you're likely to be able to demonstrate much of the below:

Experience in partnering with other developers and data scientists to
improve existing systems and develop new functionality and tools
Able to
analyse business and technical requirements and develop solutions, taking
into account variable aspects, such as performance, scalability, ease of
