Introduction:
IT company with position available for software developer in Southern Suburbs area. This is an EQUAL OPPORTUNITY position, all races, all genders welcome.

We are a Linux technology development company. If you are not an avid Linux user and truly over the edge passionate about Linux & opensource, please, move onto the next job offer as this is not for you. :)

Our programmers are challenged working with new technologies for which no documentation, training or information exists.

We have two main focuses. 1) We design and develop new technologies and/or combine other new technologies to form leading opensource alternatives to commercial solutions. 2) We develop software solutions for large corporates and government which solve specific issues they have (normal software development).

Majority of the work we do comprises of Perl, PHP and Bash scripting. Our choice in database is MySQL, although all of our opensouces packages use abstraction layers like PDO & DBD and must function on Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL & SQLite. We also develop in C and use languages such as javascript for certain UI tasks. Most of our opensource software is server-side, but alot of our new projects are web based integrations/customizations. We make use of Git extensively, with all code checkins going to our review system for rigorous compliance checks.

Most of our clients and target clients are medium-large companies or government institutions.


Requirements:
* Real life relevant programming experience in Perl, PHP, Bash scripting & MySQL is essential. C is a huge bonus.
