Do-gooders, unite!

The butterfly effect says that a butterfly flaps its wings and weeks later, a tornado forms on the other side of the globe. Everything we do has an impact, so why not work for a company that is actively making the world a better place?

As a thriving multinational fundraising group with operations in the UK, Switzerland, USA, Canada, and South Africa, our client works with thousands of charities to provide cloud-based management tools to connect with their supporters. With a secure channel to receive funds and a dedicated social fundraising platform, this company helps charities big and small through local initiatives and mass participation events like the Boston Marathon.

These gurus of giving are seeking a mid-level and a senior Perl developer to join their team. In the mid-level role, experience with automated payment systems is strongly preferred, but not an absolute must. If you have an interest in payment systems and your Perl game is on point, we want to hear from you. Senior developers, automated payment experience is a must-have — after all, someone needs to bring the chops to guide the mid-level folks!

Both roles require excellent English communication skills and a passion for learning about new payment-related technologies. A strong candidate for the mid-level role will have 4+ years of Perl experience coding back-end and front-end systems, experience with payment networks and systems like credit card, Faster Payments, and UK Open Banking, and experience with testing like Test::Harness, Test::More, and Test::Most. The superstar senior candidate will have 8+ years of Perl experience coding back-end and front-end systems, exceptional experience with payment networks, systems, and bank file formats like ISO 20022, SWIFT MT940/942 and NACHA ACH, and genius-level experience with Unix/Linux and shell scripts.

Remote workers, this one’s open to you as long as you live in one of the countries mentioned above. North American pals, take note — work time flexibility will be important, as they have yet to establish a physical presence across the pond.
