Description

Absolute Requirements
Must be a web-services guru. When we reach for something to connect two other tools, the plan is to use "Modern Perl" wherever possible so good knowledge of Perl is preferred but not a deal-killer.
We are looking for developers--not Scripting.
 Must be comfortable with SQL and various RDBMS: You should be able to write queries and understand the structure of the underlying database. You don't need to be a DBA, but experience setting up and managing a database would be useful.
 Must be Linux-savvy: installing, configuring, updating, and customizing. This requires IT-level administrative experience with Linux. Our IT department handles most of our Windows needs, but we manage our own Linux environments. (Yes, we're not specifying a distribution. Expect to work with several different flavors. Right now, we're favoring SuSE and Centos.)
 Must have experience with Microsoft Server and the ability work in the Windows environment. You don't have to be an expert, but you should know how to make Windows do what you want and the command line should not be a stranger.
 Must have in-depth working experience integrating web applications using web services and transfer protocols: SOAP, WSDL, command-line tools. We have many different tools and processes and they all need to be coerced into sharing information with each other.
 Must have in-depth working experience creating and customizing web pages and forms. (HTML, PHP, CSS, XML, JavaScript)
 Must have good communication skills and habits. This group is in the interface between many groups and their needs.

Secondary Requirements
Experience with the following items, in no particular order, is a plus.
 Agile development methodologies
 APTest Manager.
 Atlassian Confluence Wiki
 Bugzilla
 Mac OS X
 Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
 Perforce
 SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle), STLC (Software Test Life Cycle)
 Serena Business Manager (a.k.a. Mashups, TeamTrack)
 Software and Hardware QA, Testing, Build & Release. We work closely with these folks, and understanding their needs is a bonus.
 Technical Writing and Documentation. Communications skill is important.
