Position: Perl Developers – Team Lead, Senior
Location: Easy to get-to in New York City (Rochester, NY is a possibility too)
Status: Full Time; Internships
Perl’s "founder" Larry Wall once asked, "What is the sound of Perl? Is it not the sound of a wall that people have stopped banging their heads against?"
He had a point.
GridApp Systems really is the leading developer of database management automation software. The server side of Clarity is heavy on object-oriented Perl; 5.8.7 is supported (although we might migrate to 5.10 on all supported platforms once it is burned in).

As far as coding conventions, we use PBP and peer review (use strict; and use warnings; are mandatory). Warnings are fatal (causing a die to occur). All code must compile on all supported platforms prior to commit (Linux, Solaris, Win32, HP-UX, etc.).
Requirements – Obviously you have an unbridled love of Perl. Additionally, you’ll offer:
- Significantly skilled with Perl (C++, PHP receive bonus points)
- Solid experience in TCP/IP network and/or distributed systems programming
- Working with one or more of Oracle/DB2/Sybase/MSSQL
- Fluency in Linux and/or flavors of UNIX
- Team lead experience would be very nice to have
The work environment –
Located in the Midtown East area of New York, easily accessible from many directions, our mission is to transform the way organizations manage their database infrastructure through the use of automation. You’ll be with others who love what they do. In a nutshell, the culture is inquisitive, collaborative, and highly-energized. And programmer casual too.
So come visit our website and see for yourself how our products help companies manage their data resources smarter. Read our GridApp blog and leaf through the industry, systems, development, and career resources we’re assembling for you.
Even if you’re content where you are, and email us (no need to send your resume), letting us know that you're happy – but give us a chance to explain how our software developer opportunities may be superior to your present situations.
But if you’re looking for a new place where you can expand your use of OOP – C++ and Perl – surrounded by recognized experts, email us your resume and your best code sample – please, do not send any code that is the intellectual property of anyone but you (if we receive code that is owned by someone other than you, it will be immediately deleted). The rest could be history…
