Benefits We're REALLY serious about Open Source. Keeping things transparent and accessible, supporting collaboration, and bigging up the community, it's not just what we do; it's who we are.
Full-time or part-time, working on-site or logging in from your couch; the choice is yours. Thinking of jetting off for a bit? Hit us up in advance, and we'll probably sort it out.
Pick Your Poison: Emacs, Nano, or Vim? Arch, Fedora, or NixOS? Whatever tools or distro make you deliver that sweet, sweet system engineering performance, it's all up to you.
Being right in the sweet spot between a small tech shack and a big corporation, we keep it real with a down-to-earth attitude, solid business processes, and speedy decisions.
We're all about that growth mindset. Whether it's levelling up your skills, nabbing some new certs, or geeking out at conferences, we've got your back.
Are you interested? Thomas Köchli, Chief Operating Officer, will be happy to review your application.
We are looking forward to getting to know you!
