Hi, Arjen & gang are looking for skilled and enthusiastic colleagues! At Open Query, we aim to provide a low/no-stress work environment. See it as a lifestyle choice rather than a job. We offer ongoing part-time contracts with a guaranteed minimum number of hours, as well as an agreed maximum. So you can have more free time, or do other things.

Desirable abilities - Configuration of Apache, nginx; - PHP, Java, Ruby and other scripting languages; - shell and Perl scripting.

Your initial message to us may already indicate inventiveness, attitude, approach, and so on. (For instance, sending us an MS Word DOC or DOCX file containing your resume is a fail. Feel free to use MS Word, as long as you communicate in a format that others can deal with easily.)

Consulting systems engineer in Melbourne
by Jethro Carr 02 Sep '12

02 Sep '12

hi LUV-jobs, I'm a Linux geek with a strong consulting/engineering background currently living in Wellington, New Zealand. I'm preparing to move over to Melbourne and will be arriving on the 15th of September looking for some exciting work opportunities. My background involves a mixture of pre-sales, solution design/implementation, sysadmin and web application programming; particularly around open source and Linux technologies. Anything from small business servers up to large enterprise and telecommunication systems, in the last year I've been particularly focusing on centralised authentication systems. If you have roles that might suit someone like myself, email me off-list and I'll send you my CV with full details. Naturally I'm keen on Melbourne (There's trams! And great food! What's not to love?) but open to any really cool opportunities elsewhere in AU as well. And on a side note, if you're a Linux geek and want to catch up for a $beverage, just let me know - keen to meet as many new people as possible. :-) regards, jethro -- Jethro Carr www.jethrocarr.com
