Plain Black is hiring and we’re looking for a geek like you. Not your average geek, but someone who wears GEEK as a badge. Someone who breathes Perl, and drinks Linux. A geek who knows that there’s more you can do with SSH than just open a terminal to a remote box.

• Use and abuse relational databases like MySQL.
• Be comfortable with common tools like Bash, Git, Nginx, Apache, and Vim.
• Know common web development technologies like Javascript, CSS, HTML.
• Prove U.S. Citizenship, as we do a lot of work for the Federal Government.

It would be nice if you:

• Have experience with Perl web development including one or more of: WebGUI, Plack, Catalyst, Dancer, or Mojolicious.
• Have experience with one or more modern Javascript frameworks like jQuery, YUI, or Dojo.
• Live in Madison, or at least Wisconsin, or be willing to relocate. Relocation expenses are available.
