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.

Detailed applications (resume in plain txt please) to: j o b s (at) o p e n q u e r y (dot) c o m Asking questions is encouraged! You want the gig, you "work" for it. 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.)
