Work at Evolution - Web/DB development

[M. Simon Cavalletto]

Hello.

There is an opening for a software developer at Evolution Online  
Systems, one of New York's Internet pioneers and supporter/co-founders of  
the Perl Mongers. We create custom web/database applications for our  
customers (mostly in Perl on Unix, but there are occasional brushes with  
Redmond), and I think we've maintained a fairly geek-friendly work  
environment.

Please review the attached job description and requirements, and if  
you're interested, drop us a line at jobs at evolution.com -- plain text  
resume or web addresses appreciated.
