Linux Technical Support
Location: Haddonfield, NJ
Type: Full Time Min. Experience: Mid Level

We love technology and helping our customers — we get excited about
computers and we love programming. We live to solve problems, code
software, and make cool stuff happen. And, we love to share our creations
with others.This has been our philosophy since Linode was launched in June
of 2003 by founder Christopher S. Aker. Initial development took about 6
months. Linode was ahead of its time and helped define the cloud hosting
industry, and continues to be a leader in virtualization hosting.

Now, we want the right people on our team, who have both the aptitude and
attitude necessary to succeed in the unique culture that we’ve developed
over the last 10 years. Fitting into our culture is just as important as
holding the skills for the job. We’re looking for a solid employer-
employee relationship. Our interview process may seem extensive, but we’re
making sure you’re a good fit for us while you make sure we’re a good fit
for you!

We’ve invested heavily in being the kind of company that can set the bar
for the cloud hosting industry: both through infrastructure and employing
the right personnel. We have the best customer service out there and we’re
passionate about making it even better. Our development, ops, hardware,
marketing, documentation, and management teams are all part of making
Linode everything it can be. This industry moves fast, but we’re committed
to hiring the kind of people who can stay a step ahead and keep us - and
themselves - at the top.

We are currently looking for technical support staff to keep up with our
ever-growing customer base and offerings. Candidate must have the intuition
to accurately identify and anticipate a customer's needs. As a rapidly
growing company, we're always adding new features and services which means
plenty of opportunities to develop and grow professionally.
