PostgreSQL and Perl developer

End Point Corporation seeks a strong Perl programmer with PostgreSQL 
experience to consult with our clients in developing web applications with 
the Interchange application server. We're especially interested in 
individuals experienced with complex SQL queries, PL/pgSQL or PL/Perl 
functions, constraints, rules, triggers, and views. Web application 
development experience required, and knowledge of the MVC design pattern 
is helpful (as is used in Catalyst and Jifty).

Our developers regularly interact directly with our clients via telephone, 
email, and IM, so you'll need excellent verbal and written communication 
skills. Good candidates pay attention to detail, are careful with 
production systems, and code defensively to provide good stability and 
maintainability of mission-critical systems.

This is a full-time salaried position with benefits including health 
insurance, paid holidays, and vacation, and a self-funded 401(k) plan.

Our employees work either from home offices or from our Manhattan 
headquarters. Employees in the United States must be U.S. citizens or 
permanent residents allowed to work in the U.S.

Principals only, please. Apply by emailing jobs <at> endpoint.com with details 
about your experience and salary expectations. Thank you.

numbers" and therefore we have a very high demand for detailed,
high-quality, and often very dynamic reporting.

The scope of the position is somewhat broad. We are looking for the
right person who can grow and take over various responsibilities as the
need arises, rather than perform a specific set of tasks. Although we

design aspects (especially on the OLAP side), we are open to junior
candidates provided they have the will and capability to learn and the
required attributes below.

Required attributes:

* attention to detail;
* ability to take over and "own" her/his projects;

* Linux/UNIX proficiency;
* minimum 2 years of direct SQL and stored procedure experience with an
enterprise RDBMS;
* proof of eligibility to work in the United States.

Some (or all!) of the following technical skills and experience. Please
do not apply if you don't have at least 2-3 of the following and are
able to address that in your cover letter:

* data warehousing and ETL, OLAP data store design and maintenance;
* superior SQL/stored function/procedure skills;
* query optimization, performance tuning;
* PostgreSQL, and/or experience with multiple RDBMS products;
* DBA experience, in particular replication, partitioning, high
availability;
* familiarity with OLAP reporting solutions, preferrably open-source
ones (Mondrian/Pentaho/JasperSoft);
* configuration, maintenance, delivery of reporting using other
solutions (Crystal Reports, MS Excel as a database frontend);
* some statistics background, including experience with statistics
packages/languages (such as R);
* awareness of and interest in visual presentation of data;
* XML transformations: XSLT/Xpath.

MyNewPlace.com is a pay for performance Internet Listing Service (ILS)
founded by members of the former senior management team of
AllApartments/SpringStreet, the leading apartment search service on the
internet before it was sold to HomeStore in July of 1999. The service is
designed to assist apartment property owners in leasing their apartment
buildings to tenants who can search for and compare available rentals on
its web site. Prospective tenants are able to access the site free of
charge via the Internet, and are eligible to earn a rebate when they
rent from properties that pay an advertising fee to MyNewPlace.
MyNewPlace is located in downtown San Francisco.

We offer a competitive base salary, generous benefits package and may
include stock options with the potential for significant equity upside.
Please submit salary requirements.

Principals ONLY, no agencies, recruiters, or outsourcing firms please.
