📋 Description

• Codebase ownership — senior developer and technical area owner for the platform and ancillary projects, working alongside the Director of Engineering on architecture decisions. • Releases and deployments — working within Soutron's established release process; understanding the current manual release cycle across 8 production servers and proposing improvements toward automated, pipeline-driven deployments. • Infrastructure awareness — not directly responsible for server administration, but expected to have working knowledge of the infrastructure stack (Debian Linux, Nginx, Apache/mod_perl, MariaDB/Galera, Solr, PowerDNS, Let's Encrypt) and to proactively identify and propose improvements to existing infrastructure patterns. • Mentorship & engineering culture — share knowledge with peers, help raise the team's technical standards, and contribute to code review and engineering best practices. • Security and compliance — dependency scanning, penetration testing coordination, MFA rollout, SOC 2 readiness roadmap. • Platform modernization — progressively evolving the stack toward modern patterns (REST API layer, frontend modernization, containerization) without disrupting a live production system.

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years of production Perl development; must be comfortable with mod_perl, CPAN module management, Template Toolkit, and navigating large, long-lived Perl codebases; experience modernizing or refactoring legacy Perl is a strong advantage. • 3+ years of hands-on Solr experience for search and indexing; understanding of index configuration, query tuning, and cluster management via Zookeeper; Elasticsearch experience considered in addition to, not instead of, Solr. • Solid understanding of Linux-based server environments (Debian/Ubuntu, Nginx, Apache, SSH, SSL/TLS); able to read, assess, and propose improvements to infrastructure configuration. • Relational databases: MariaDB or MySQL; understanding of clustering and replication (Galera experience a plus). • Understanding of how server-rendered HTML applications work end-to-end; JavaScript (jQuery era and modern). • Proven experience working within an established Agile Scrum methodology; comfortable with sprint planning, standups, story pointing, and sprint reviews. • Experience working within a formal software development lifecycle including code review, branching strategy, CI/CD pipelines, and QA gates. • CI/CD pipeline setup, branching strategies, automated testing, deployment scripting. • Understanding of common web vulnerabilities (XSS, SQL injection, CSRF), CVE scanning, dependency management. • Ability to produce clear technical documentation; comfortable working with non-technical stakeholders.

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive salary benchmarked to your market and experience. • Fully remote working with flexible hours. • Generous paid time off and public holiday allowance. • Budget for learning, conferences, books, and equipment. • Meaningful work on a product that real customers rely on every day. • The chance to help shape the engineering culture of a growing, investor-backed business.
