<h1>FSFE is hiring a working student as an assistant system administrator</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
We are looking for a working student to support our work in
|
|
empowering people to control technology. The person will support the
|
|
FSFE's technical infrastructure by working with our system
|
|
administrators. The work is 10 hours per week in the Berlin office

<h2>About the FSFE</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Free Software Foundation Europe is a charity that empowers users to
|
|
control technology. Software is deeply involved in all aspects of our
|
|
lives and it is important that technology empowers rather than
|
|
restricts us. <a href="/freesoftware/">Free
|
|
Software</a> gives everybody the rights to use, understand, adapt,
|
|
and share software. These rights help support other fundamental
|
|
freedoms like freedom of speech, press, and privacy.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The FSFE helps individuals and organisations to understand how Free
|
|
Software contributes to freedom, transparency, and
|
|
self-determination. We enhance users' rights by abolishing barriers
|
|
to Free Software adoption, encourage people to use and develop Free
|
|
Software, and provide resources to enable everyone to further
|
|
promote Free Software in Europe.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
We are involved in <a href="/activities/">many activities</a> in the
|
|
legal, economic, political and technical areas around Free Software.
|
|
Our work is made possible by a community of volunteers, supporters,
|
|
donors, and staff. The assistant system administrator's job will
|
|
strengthen the technical backbone of our operations.

We are looking for a reliable, well-organised member of our technical teams
|
|
who is keen to learn about old and new technologies. You have fun working
|
|
with volunteers and staff to support the whole organisation in its mission
|
|
for software freedom. Long-term thinking, efficiency and effectiveness are
|
|
more important to you than the newest cool technology on the block.

<h2 id="details">Working time and compensation</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The desired working time would be 10 hours per week but can be

|
discussed. You will start working in our Berlin office to get a
|
|
feeling for the organisation and the faces behind it, but at a later
|
|
stage, home office is possible. The salary is based on the currently
|
|
applicable minimum wage in Germany but can be higher depending on
|
|
your experience. A mandatory requirement is that you are enrolled as
|
|
a student at a university in Germany.

|
|
infrastructure</a>. You will gain insights around our solutions. You
|
|
will receive effective supervision and feedback on your work, which
|
|
will help you spot where there is room for improvement and what your
|
|
strengths are. You will learn to organise your workflow and prioritise
|
|
your tasks.

Free Software is meant to serve everyone regardless of their age,

|
ability or disability, gender identity, sex, race, religion or
|
|
sexual orientation. Hence, we encourage applications from all
|
|
backgrounds and promise to judge all applications on merit, without
|
|
reference to any of the characteristics listed. To promote diversity
|
|
and equality in the Free Software community, we shall give preference
|
|
to applicants who identify as part of a traditionally marginalised
|
|
demographic in technology for applications of equal strength.
