Percona is looking for a Perl and Python expert
If you’re a Perl and/or Python expert (preferably both), Percona may have a job for you.
We’re looking to either hire or sponsor significant development efforts for some open-source tools for MySQL, including but not limited to Maatkit and the Master-Master Replication Manager. This could be full-time or part-time, depending on the person and what seems to make the most sense. You can work remotely.
You must already be an expert coder. You don’t have to be a MySQL expert, though it will help if you are at least at an intermediate level with it. You must have proven experience in test-driven development. You will be writing clean, efficient, well-tested code. Your work will be open-source and transparent to the world, and open-source experience is a plus. You can expect expert guidance and help (especially with the MySQL-specific parts), but a significant amount of freedom and autonomy as well.
Send your resume and samples of your work to ‘jobmysql’ at our blog’s domain name.

As I know, both of Maatkit and Mmm are writen only in perl. why need a python expert? i think there are a lot of people want to know about this.

Perl’s threading has been problematic for some tools. A lot of the more useful stuff I’ve done has used threading or multi-processing. I am sure a lot of people will disagree with me right away, but I think threading in Perl is pretty bad. Just the fact that it’s been ripped out and redone a couple times is bad enough — it means there’s no backwards compatibility.
