Description#
Volunteers will assist our existing systems team with monitoring, maintenance and automation tasks. They will report to our head of infrastructure.
We’re ideally looking for chill folks who want to give back to their community and work on our back-end infrastructure.
Must have 4+ years of professional experience working in systems administration. Please keep in mind that, while this is a volunteer gig, we would ask you to be able to commit to at least 5-10 hours a week. We also understand this is a hobby and that family and work come first.
Applicants must be okay with providing their CV and LinkedIn profile. You will also be asked to sit for a video interview. This is due to the sensitivity of the infrastructure you will have access to.
We are an international team that works from both North America EST time (-4) and Europe CEST (+2) so we would ask that candidates be able to be generally available in these timezones.
If you are in AEST (+10) or JST (+9) please let us know, as we are looking for at least one Sysadmin to help out during our overnight.
You will be asked to participate in an on-call pool. Please keep in mind that this is a round-robin style pool, so it’s alright if you’re busy as it will just move along the chain.
