Hi there I have been writing Python for several years now, primarily because that's what my clients use. I attend Python events. I even help organizing some of them. Yet I still don't see myself as part of any Python tribe. It seems they have a requirement of hating Perl, which is, well, very strange. However, I can have great fun with Python programmers. Especially seeing how some of them can be triggered by a post about Perl 6. Thanks to Damian who provided the excellent blog post. And as for the rest of you, enjoy your week! Gabor Szabo

Sick of jobs lacking purpose? This Perl job literally cures the world’s ills

Based out of the leafy city of Cambridge – a home for everyone from Darwin to Hawking – you’ll be working for a company specialising in genomics, whose platform aids clinicians in investigating the human genome, identifying diseases and working to beat them.

Could you service an audience of 10 Million+?

Sometimes when young companies reach a certain level of success, complacency sets in. The culture (subtly) shifts from entrepreneurial to bureaucratic. That’s not this client. Instead of toasting themselves, they keep rolling.

Save the world then go get piste -- Mid-level Perl developer and ski-master in Sevenoaks, Kent

You’ll be working with a Modern Perl stack deployed to AWS on Mojolicious with a strong focus on testing and continuous integration, and the infinite wisdom of one of CPAN’s most prolific (and nicest) contributors at hand. The company helps charities fundraise online and works in online payments; you’ll literally be saving the world a little bit with every line of code you commit.

Love independent music? Hipster not a dirty word to you? Drive forward independent music with Perl.

You’ll help build out a Modern Perl platform ahead of international expansion. The team uses Catalyst, TT, Moose with Plack and mod_perl, as well as the sensible testing tools you’d expect. The team has a multi-technology approach, also using Node for some services, Elastic Search, nginx, and Postgres. Deployment is managed using Ansible.
