You=E2=80=99ve got a match!

The fine art of matchmaking isn=E2=80=99t just for romantic
relationships. Sometimes, the most important relationships aren=E2=80=99t w=
ith your
bae or your boo =E2=80=94 they=E2=80=99re with your flatmate. Think about i=
t: you share
chores, financial obligations, and maybe even a fur baby. That=E2=80=99s a =
serious
level of commitment, and without a great other half, you=E2=80=99re probably
miserable.

Enter our client. Their mission is to connect folks in the UK
and US seeking flatmates or homes to share. They know just how crucial a
good flatmate is, and their commitment to harmonious home lives has led to
their growth from a small family-run business to a larger (though still
family-run!) company.

If you=E2=80=99re a Software Developer (Backend), these
flatmate matchmakers want you to increase the delivery capacity of their
team. With a core platform that is mostly written in Perl, you=E2=80=99ll w=
ork with
developers to create admin tools and implement and test new site features
to make the perfect flatmate fantasy a reality for the masses. You=E2=80=99=
ll
develop and extend RESTful next-generation APIs and use MySQL database to
gather data and create customized reusable reports.

We all know that too
much of a good thing can be, well, too much. That=E2=80=99s why this role is
perfect; work is 80% remote, with a one-day-a-week requirement to be
on-site in the Manchester office. After the past 2+ years, isn=E2=80=99t it=
 nice to
have a weekly reason to get up, put on your outside clothes, and leave the
house?

Here are the deets you really want to know: this company offers a
flexible work environment with a casual dress code, health and wellbeing
contributions, a cycle to work scheme, seasonal travel loans, and an active
social life outside of work with activities supported by the company. Where
better to remember how to socialize face-to-face than at a job that
encourages it!

Are you a match for this flatmate matchmaking team? If so,
send us your CV today!

Desired skills:
Exposure to Modern Perl is essential; you should be comfortable with using
Perl=E2=80=99s testing tools, not be scared of DBIx::Class, and have come t=
o grips
with at least one of Perl=E2=80=99s excellent MVCs
    Experience designing and
integrating with RESTful APIs
    Exposure to tooling for managing loads
and spikes like Gearman and Memcached would be awesome too
