Our client's expert-level Production Build and Release team is looking to augment their current talent with a self-motivated, highly-experienced Perl Developer/Software Architect.

The Production Build and Release Team is engaged in several major projects involving the management of source code, build systems, and the global software release cycle. There are several openings available in New York for Perl developers who will work on new and exciting projects that will create the new architecture to manage large-scale code bases, including both legacy code and new C and C++ componentized systems.

We are looking for experienced Perl developers with knowledge of software configuration and build engineering to develop and support existing build and release environment, as well as engineer brand new infrastructure to support the next generation of software development lifecycle (SDLC) tools and processes.

Additionally, we are seeking developers with an understanding of engineering and design, and experience with either source control systems (e.g. subversion) or building software. Experience with building and diagnosing C/C++ is a plus, as is experience using RDBMS (from Perl, of course), and Unix system administration. These qualifications are based on a candidate's Perl experience meeting the requirements for this role.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Engineering or Related or Equivalent Experience
• 4+ years experience writing reusable Perl libraries (object-oriented Perl a plus)
• Good working knowledge of C and C++ development, in particular the use and configuration of    compilers and linkers
• An understanding of software design and architecture as well as the ability to render designs in code
• Experience with source control (e.g. CVS, Subversion)
• Experience with Unix platforms, especially Solaris, AIX, and Linux
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• The ability to work effectively as part of a team
• Plus: Familiarity with the concept of physical design (in the sense of "Large Scale C++ Software Design",    Lakos (1996)), with refactoring large libraries, and with the basics of compiling and linking a large code base
