Best Practical Solutions: Perl Software Developer – Posted 3/2
ABOUT US
We're Best Practical Solutions, a small software company located
in Somerville, Mass. We build software and sell support, training,
consulting and custom development. Our main product, RT (Request Tracker)
is the premiere opensource issue tracking system, downloaded by about
3000 new organizations every month. We've been around since the fall of
2001 and are entirely self-funded. O'Reilly Media published our first
book, /RT Essentials/, last fall. This winter, we unveiled Jifty, our
next-generation web application toolkit. We're currently hard at work
on our next new product. Things just keep getting busier.
ABOUT THE JOB
This posting is for a full time Perl hacking job at Best Practical.
However, we're _also_ looking for summer interns. If you're not
graduating this spring, but the job sounds otherwise appealing, we'd
love to chat with you about a summer internship doing similar stuff.
We're looking for a mid-level Perl Hacker or two to help us enhance and refine
RT, Jifty, and our Next Big Thing. You'll be responsible for everything
from implementing new features across all our products to testing and
applying user-contributed patches to our released software. In a typical
week, you'll probably spend about half your time working on customer
projects and half working on internal and opensource projects.
The hours are flexible and we all telecommute some of the time...though
we're just about to move into new office space in the heart of Davis Sq,
Somerville. We do just about EVERYTHING online and on the phone. You
should be comfortable using email and instant messaging systems to
collaborate and get work done. This job doesn't formally require your
full-time presence in Boston, though it would certainly be an advantage.
We're a small company and the boss is typically overextended. You should
be comfortable working independently or in small teams, prioritizing tasks
on your own, and juggling tasks and projects. You need to be able to tell
when you're out of your depth and ask for help.
ABOUT YOU
You should be a self-starter who has some experience with Perl, as well
as at least a few of the following:
* Test driven development
* User interface design
* HTML::Mason templating
* Documentation
* Web Services
* Cascading Style Sheets
* Javascript / AJAX
* SQL databases
* MVC frameworks
* Optimization and Profiling
* Subversion and SVK
It's ok if you don't know everything out of the gate, but you should be
able to learn on the fly and be comfortable asking questions when you
get in over your head. RT is a large codebase to dive into (47000 lines
of libraries, 27000 of templates) so you should be prepared to work with
a project that's too big to hold in your head at once. If you want to
see what sort of trouble you're getting yourself into, download a copy
of RT's source code from:
<http://download.bestpractical.com/pub/rt/release/rt.tar.gz>http://download.bestpractical.com/pub/rt/release/rt.tar.gz
HOW TO APPLY
Send a something approximating a cover letter, a resume in
plain text, HTML or PDF form and a sample of your Perl code to
<mailto:resumes at bestpractical.com>resumes at bestpractical.com. If you're
involved in opensource development
of one kind or another, please tell us about it. If you have a CPAN ID,
tell us what it is. We won't consider applications without a code sample.
We'll be paying particular attention to the readability, comments
and tests.
