The role

We=E2=80=99re looking for a Perl developer to

be a part of the ongoing development and rapid growth of the Adzuna job

Our infrastructure is built around industry-standard open-source tools and
runs on distributed clusters. You will be an important member of our small,
experienced team that oversees all aspects of our operations, ranging from
powering our international websites, aggregating jobs from thousands of
external sources, to crunching job market data to power our statistics and
applying machine learning algorithms to enhance job seekers=E2=80=99 experi=
ence.

Our tech team operates within a fast-moving, low-structure environment and
at Adzuna you will have the opportunity to work both independently and
collaboratively, learning from our senior technical team on a range of
projects across our suite of products. As you develop your skills, you will
have the opportunity to help shape our technical direction and processes as
we grow. Developing an appreciation of the =E2=80=98DevOps=E2=80=99 movemen=

we manage and monitor the systems ourselves. You will also need to build an
understanding of the importance of building structured code that is fast,
scalable, testable, reliable and robust.

The types of projects you will
work on will include new search features, relevancy and matching
algorithms, APIs and =E2=80=98big data=E2=80=99 analysis, reporting tools a=

facilitate the development process.

We offer a fun and supportive working
environment, with an emphasis on team-working, mentoring and training.
Adzuna is an exciting high-growth business where you can make a huge
difference, with a market competitive package including stock options.

We
are open to someone either working in a partially remote role with 3 days
per week in our great West London location where you can take advantage of
our jam-packed social calendar or working fully remotely within a 2 hour
time difference of London.

functionality and tools
Analyse business and technical requirements and
develop solutions, taking into account various aspects, such as
performance, scalability, ease of maintenance and cost.

managing to have a lot of fun =E2=80=98together=E2=80=99 thanks to our grea=
t Social
