==============================================================

We are looking for a suitably qualified and enthusiastic candidate to be a
part of our Global Technical Applications team.

The position would be based in Australia, perhaps out of our Sydney office,
reporting to Global IT Unit in Amsterdam. We operate a 'follow the sun'
support model, so we have a team of 5 people already based all across
APAC, and we need 6! Similar numbers already in EMEA, and the Americas
as well.

We offer a very family friendly work environment, with remote working
the norm, rather than the exception. Juggle your life to fit in a 35 
hour work
week for Greenpeace, and everyone is happy.

We are particularly looking for someone with great linux skills, and also
experience with WordPress setup, security & scaling for high reliability
to service the website needs of about 30 Greenpeace offices around the 
world.

We already have a diverse group of people working within Greenpeace 
generally,
and Global IT specifically. Still, if you are reading this post, then 
chances are, we
want you, if you have the skills, and are available and interested!

Other specific skillsets which would be good to have include Varnish, php,
Google Cloud Platform, SQL, and did I mention WordPress before?
Oh, yes I did :-) Linux is a given of course....

This position is currently 'pre-advertising' stage.
We would be aiming for a start date of 03 January. (TBN)

The position is grade Grade 5 under the Greenpeace Australia Pacific 
enterprise
agreement. Which works out at AU$90,905.95 plus Superannuation at 9.5% (TBC)
