[nyc-perl-jobs] Maxim Group [Recruiter] [brokerage industry]

[Zev Horowitz]

Hello,

My name is Zev Horowitz, an IT Recruiter for the Maxim Group in NYC.  I
was informed that this address was accessed for posting Perl related
positions in NYC.  We currently have 2 openings set (as well as quite a
few clients who are always looking for good Perl developers).  Please
find them attached.  In the meantime, if you would like to learn a bit
more about my company, our URL is www.maximgroup.com.  Thanks, hope to
speak with you soon.

1. We are currently looking for a senior level Perl developer to work at
our client, a leader in the brokerage industry. The candidate will be a
contributing developer in  the Telecom Application Development group.
The candidate will be asked to maintain and enhance existing systems and
to assist in the development of new modules and systems. The systems are
made up of a Sybase database with Sybase Power Builder and Web clients.
We will be developing new applications in Java and migrating functions
in existing applications to Java as well. The group currently consists
of 6 members based in New York who support systems in New York, London,
Hong Kong, Tokyo, and Singapore.

Strong Perl, Sybase (or other relational database), Web
(HTML/Javascript/CGI), and Java (applet and servlet) implementation
and development skills are required.  Knowledge of Powerbuilder
(including the Powerbuilder Foundation Class), and C/C++ is also
a plus. Strong debugging and relational database design skills.
Solid knowledge of Web development technologies, e.g., HTML, CGI,
etc. Minimum of 3 years (6 preferred) of application development
experience. Good knowledge of Unix and NT environments and utilities.
Knowledge of workflow, inventory management, and accounting systems
a plus.

The candidate will interface directly with internal business clients,
therefore solid communication and interpersonal skills are a must.

2. We are currently looking for a Web developer to work at our client, a
leader in the brokerage industry. The project involves the development
of informative, innovative web applications for hundreds of large scale
corporate clients. Development will primarily be in Perl on a Unix
platform. These websites focus on providing thousands of senior managers
and millions of employees of client companies with detailed benefit and
policy information. This includes providing links to real time related
financial data (i.e. online trading of stock allocated in employee stock
options/stock purchase plans). The project will involve extensive
interaction with Sales and marketing.

The ideal candidate will have strong experience with development
analysis, supporting and troubleshooting online web sites.  The
candidate must know Perl, Unix and Windows with a backend of Sybase.
Knowledge of TCP/IP is strongly preferred. Experience developing
requirement documents, design skills and project planning is
required.

Industry experience is not required, but developers should have
experience working on a commercial site and should be comfortable
developing user specifications. The project has started to, and
will continue to move towards Java; So any Java experience will be
a huge plus.

Regards,
Zev Horowitz
