Yes - Its time to expand our team and operations! At DeepRoot Linux, we're on the look-out for people who can help us in the following roles.
Technical Expectations
We expect people who want to work with us to have the following basic technical skills and experience:
- practical knowledge of GNU / Linux system administration,
- some experience on programming in C / Perl on Linux,
- knowledge of networking, Internet and Internet protocols
- some familiarity with Debian GNU/Linux
- hands-on experience on using GNU/Linux and Free Software on a desktop
- basic knowledge of software packaging, compiling and installing software and maintaining desktops or servers
Non-technical Expectations
Though our work requires a lot of excellent and hands-on technical knowledge, that is not all that is needed to function in these roles. We look at a lot of other things when meeting potential colleagues and a lot of times these non-technical considerations seriously out-weigh technical ones:
- excellent email & communication skills,
- ability to work over the Internet and using Internet / web-based worlflows and applications
- exposure to free and open source software development methods
- strong commitment to spreading, developing, contributing to and advocating GNU/Linux and Free / Open Source Software
- a desire to develop excellent and usable products
ROLE - Product Development, Evangelism & Support
Do you want to develop cutting-edge Free Software products? Are you looking for an opportunity to work on developing Free Software full-time? Would you also like to help customers use Free Software more effectively?
Developing products and supporting users through the product life-cycle is not everyone's cup of tea. But if you feel that you've got the right skills and attitude to really get Free Software and GNU/Linux to work for others, then please do write in to us.
ROLE - Product Support, Solution Design & Customer Servicing
We believe that developing Free Software products is not enough. Such products also have to be backed by comprehensive training, excellent support and value-added services.
This role covers:
- providing assistance to customers in deployment planning, product installation, commissioning and integration into the customer's operations,
- providing post-installation services such as data and configuration migration from other products,
- user training for effective server administration through our EasyPush Server Manager as well as on the command line
- on-site, phone and remote-login support
- providing and managing product releases, updates, patches and upgrades
- authoring documentation
- ... and so on

We would encourage you to write a short informal email to us about your motivation to work with us and your past work, projects and achievements. If you include URLs pointing to your blog or participation in Free Software projects (as a user or developer), that would be very nice. We would love to be blown off our feet by work you've already been doing!
Not just that - we would also like to know more about you as a person. So if you have written (technical or non-technical) articles or content for online or print publications, or you love to sing or play a musical instrument and so on, please do write about that as well. We would be equally interested in knowing about other things that drive you in life.
Note that we don't accept applications which carry documents attached in non-free formats (such as MS Word .doc format). We sincerely hope that you respect our choice (and right) to use Free Software.
