Senior Developer (w/ Perl Experience) at SiteScout (Seattle, WA 98104)

Are you an experienced software developer who feels a burning desire to take ownership and ship successful products, mastering a broad range of technical capabilities as necessary to get the job done effectively? Do you strive to write maintainable, scalable code that satisfies customer needs in a fluid and fast-moving market? Do you have the capacity to think big yet still sweat the details, and to communicate effectively both within a technical team and with business stakeholders? Are you excited by the opportunity to make the Web a better place?

SiteScout’s mission is to make the Web safe again. We’re seeking a senior developer to join our team to help us refine and extend our distributed software platform for proactively identifying and protecting users from malware, exploits, and other threats.

We’re looking for experienced candidates that have been through a complete development lifecycle on at least two product releases. You should have strong Perl skills and be able to write maintainable, modular and/or OO Perl code. Solid experience in C, C++, and/or C# is also a plus. You should be comfortable coding on and for both Windows and Unix environments, and should have solid SQL and database knowledge, though this is by no means your typical CRUD database-development effort.

We prefer a bachelor’s degree in computer science or a related discipline or extensive industry experience. Knowledge of HTTP, TCP/IP, and other Internet protocols is also a plus. Knowledge of Windows internals and experience in security or malware analysis is also a major advantage, but most important is for you to be smart and adaptable and get things done.

We’ve got a great work environment (views, windows that open, fast multi-monitor machines, and a fun team) and are working hard to solve interesting problems that make a difference to people.
