Perl Developer

If you've spent serious time in Perl and still enjoy working in it, give this a read.

You'd be the engineer who owns a long-lived, business-critical Perl codebase at an established UK tech company with a global customer base.

These systems sit right at the core of the product, so reliability and ownership matter.

It's a maintenance and improvement role, not a greenfield rewrite. They want someone who'll get stuck into the code, learn it end to end, and become the person everyone turns to when something needs fixing or extending.

You'd work fairly independently with a Team Lead in your corner. Over time there's appetite for incremental modernisation in Go or TypeScript where it makes sense.

What they're after:

• Strong production Perl
• SQL (MySQL or MariaDB)
• Unix CLI fluency
• Puppet or similar
• solid networking knowledge (TCP, DNS, HTTP, TLS)

Bonus points for: Go, TypeScript, async Perl (AnyEvent, Coro), or experience inside large long-lived production systems.
