Are you a Perl Hacker looking for work?
Yahoo!'s Engineering Infrastructure group is looking for a motivated Perl hacker interested in developer support tools. Help build the next generation of package configuration, release management, bug-tracking and build tools used by Yahoo! developers worldwide. A BS/MS in Computer Science or equivalent and 4+ years experience with Perl and Unix is required. Experience with CVS, Makefiles, SQL, and PHP a plus.
Interested? Apply
here or send me your
resume.
Disclaimer. I get a referral bonus if you tell 'em I sent you and you get hired.
Update #1: Apparently the page isn't linkable, so you'll just have to send a resume to me. The outsourced jobs site apparently uses POST or something just as dumb and unlinkable.
Update #2: The job is at Yahoo HQ in Sunnyvale, CA.

If I follow the link I get "You arrived to this page incorrectly".
Not that I'm looking, why on earth would I leave the freezing arctic conditions I've grown to love in VT :)
The "Apply here" page says that "You arrived to this page incorrectly." Looks like the link from the job listing to the details/apply page is done using the POST method.
Grrrrrh. I hate pages (and content management systems that generate such) that you cannot link to. It's internet. It's supposed to be hyperlinkable.
I spose that's what you get when you use people who choose ColdFusion to write web apps in!
Is this the link?

Why Perl? Because legacy software (e.g. Bugzilla) is already using that language? Because that's what the other team members use? Because there is a large pool of Perl hackers to draw from?
I like Perl, but if I was building the "next generation", I'd use Python.
Commence flaming if you're so inclined, but bear in mind: I said, "I like Perl".
Unfortunately there's no indication of starting range or where the job is located?!
Yes, KnipSter, that is the link.
Job would, of course, be located where Yahoo! is located ;-)
Why Perl goes without sayng :-)
Starting range doesn't really matter because
1) these days it's a buyer's market
2) therefore all salaries are too low
3) There will be 200-500 applicants; 5 get interviews; 1 gets the job
Thank you, Jeremy, for posting this.
