Object-Oriented Pearl Developer

Contract position for 3-6 months, full-time.

Most work can be done remotely, some on-site presence in Silicon Valley and/or San Francisco is required. Make sure to address this point in your response to this posting.

Problem Description:

Modify XML-based authoring and publishing system.

We have an existing Perl code-base that converts XML to HTML and PDF.

We are in the process of altering the system to support at least three additional output types:

1. HTML for web with a totally different design than the current output.
2. A slightly different HTML output for a help system
(very similar to the HTML for web.)
3. PDF with a totally new design.

We are working in close collaboration with the team that wrote the
original code and need to add our new features without breaking or
disrupting their system. We have a lead engineer for this project and
need at least one more dedicated developer to meet our schedule.

Requirements:

The new team member we are looking for must have the following qualities:

- Excellent collaboration/team/plays-well-with-others skills.
- Be highly effective at collaborating with non-engineering team members.
- Have intermediate to advanced Object Oriented Perl skills (code samples required.)
- Demonstrate ability to write effective unit tests (code samples required.)
- Have worked on multi-developer projects using a version control system.


Nice to Have:
- Experience with complex template-based systems.
- Experience with XSL-FO.
- Experience with HTML+CSS+JavaScript
- Experience writing automated acceptance tests for web sites.
- Experience with XSLT (we do not use XSLT, but understanding it will help.)


Technologies we are using:
- SVN
- XML::Twig
- Template Toolkit
- Home grown XML transformation code.
- XSL-FO
- Test::More, Test::Class
- Module::Build
- Cocoa/ObjC

When responding include a phone number and best times to call.
