RimuHosting.com requires someone to perform customer tech support work.
The work includes assisting customers with their servers – installing applications, and troubleshooting problems; setting up new orders; and answering sales queries.

The work is part-time. We are looking for one or more people to work for one or two hours a day sometime between 0700UTC and 1700UTC. (See http://timeanddate.com/worldclock/meeting.html for what that would be in your local time). The hourly rate will be between $US7 and $US14/hr.

The work can be done from home/remotely.

We are looking to fill these positions starting September and it would be an ongoing role.

We are looking for:

* Someone with a passion for Linux. You will likely have have been using Linux for a long time; you will have run Linux on your home PC; you will be able to debate the merits of various Linux distros, you'll know why qmail is evil (or not); you will be happy compiling applications from source and installing PHP- or Python-based web applications; you’ll have worked with a variety of software like Sendmail, postfix, zope, apache, and procmail; and very likely you'll be a customer of ours already (though that's not a prerequisite).

* Someone who likes a challenge and enjoys helping others. You may help friends with their computers or perhaps you post regularly in forums and mailing lists assisting others with problems.

* And someone who wants to gain IT experience working for a company that considers awesome support is the holy grail of hosting.

Inquiries for this position can be directed to me via email (p.jobs _at_ rimuhosting.com) in the first instance. Tell us a little about yourself (include a resume if you like), and why you think you are a good fit for the job.

We had an awesome response to this from a large number of very well qualified people. The skills and passion for Linux and customer service demonstrated in people's emails and resumes was impressive.

It was a difficult task to choose between applications. But we have done so, and the positions have now been filled. (So no more applications please).

RimuHosting customers can now look forward to a a couple of fresh 'faces' starting September. We hope this will add more depth and experience to our support line up and also improve response times during the 'overnight' parts of the day.
