Its Compute Solutions team builds and runs the VPS, Cloud Dedicated, storage and bare metal products customers rely on for their cloud infrastructure, and it’s looking for a backend engineer who enjoys owning their work from start to finish.\nThe role in a nutshell\nYou’ll own features end to end: the spec, the code, the tests and how it all behaves in production. This is an individual contributor role with no direct reports. You’re the engineer who answers for whether what you shipped actually works.\nWriting the pull request is the visible part. The real job is everything around it:\nturning a loosely worded need into something precise enough to build;\nspotting what could break before it does;\nproving a change is correct rather than just saying it is;\nstaying with it once it’s live.\nWhat you’ll be doing\nTaking features from spec through implementation, testing, deployment, monitoring and production support across VPS, Cloud Dedicated, storage and bare metal.\nBuilding and maintaining backend services, APIs, data flows and integrations.\nDesigning and maintaining database-backed functionality, with a focus on correctness, performance and reliability.\nTurning requirements into clear technical specs and flagging unknowns, dependencies and failure scenarios early.\nUsing AI-assisted tools every day, while critically checking the generated code and owning the result.\nWriting tests with every change, covering failure scenarios as well as the happy path.\nReviewing teammates’ code and giving clear, actionable feedback.\nImproving existing and legacy code in small steps, without unnecessary rewrites.\nTaking your turn on the on-call rotation: responding to incidents, helping find root causes and following fixes through.\nMentoring less experienced engineers and coordinating with other teams early to avoid blockers.\nHow the team works\nThe focus is on predictable, reliable delivery of quality software. You’ll know which few things matter most this month and why, and you’ll say so when the work in front of you isn’t one of them.\nMost code is AI-generated now, so the value sits on either side of it: specifying exactly what to build, and verifying that what comes back is correct, secure and operable. Whoever ships it owns it, whatever wrote it.\nYou won’t own the roadmap, but you’ll understand what the customer gets from your work. The engineers who move fastest here ask “why” early. And when a date is at risk, you say so early and in writing, with evidence.\nWhat you’ll bring\n5+ years in backend engineering and production systems.\n5+ years with Perl.\n5+ years with PostgreSQL or a similar relational database, with strong SQL.\nA solid grasp of backend architecture, APIs and data-driven systems.\nExperience building, testing, deploying and supporting production software, including automated tests.\nThe ability to read unfamiliar code and troubleshoot across a production system.\nOn-call experience and incident response.\nHands-on, day-to-day use of AI-assisted engineering tools.\nClear written communication and comfort working remotely in a distributed team across time zones.\nNice to have\nLinux server administration (5+ years).\nKVM administration or other virtualization environments (5+ years).\nExperience with VPS, bare metal, storage or cloud infrastructure products.\nExperience in managed hosting, cloud platforms or other high-availability environments.\nWork with complex or legacy backend systems.\nMentoring engineers and reviewing design and code.\nWhat’s on offer\n€4,000-6,000 a month, plus all the equipment you need.\nAn international team of professionals.\nPlenty of opportunity to practise and improve your English.\nAn employee referral programme with bonuses.\nRelocation package","description_format":"text","description_chars":3976,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-12T09:02:51Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":52,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.516,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":33,"reasons":["conf:1","agency","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-12T10:38:37Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":79908,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/clever-recruiting-backend-engineer-perl","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/clever-recruiting-backend-engineer-perl.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-12T12:20:47Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":25455,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4422882},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4422882"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fclever-recruiting-backend-engineer-perl"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fclever-recruiting-backend-engineer-perl"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fclever-recruiting-backend-engineer-perl"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/clever-recruiting-backend-engineer-perl\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fclever-recruiting-backend-engineer-perl"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4150577}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"clever-recruiting.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4150577},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
