Life at Catalyst
Some 80 of the best and brightest open source specialists work for Catalyst IT in Wellington New Zealand. During the last 10 years, Catalyst has cultivated a unique working environment ideally suited to talented, creative and commited open source developers.
From Day One, you'll be setting up your own machine with the tools you need to collaborate with clients and your project teams, and to get the job done. IRC and the Catalyst Wiki will get you up to speed, and keep you there, day to day.
What kind of an IT company would this be without pizza?
Pizza Thursday is a chance to showcase your technical interests and the achievements of your projects. If pizza is not your thing, there's Curry Wednesday and delicious Catalyst fresh-made bread on Friday to enjoy with a beer or two amongst friends.
In between, of course, everyone at Catalyst is there to provide the very best in open source development, systems management and client support. That means taking individual responsibility and working flexibly with those around you to make things happen for some significant clients running business-critical systems.
At Catalyst you'll be working directly with your clients much of the time. So you'll need the kind of communications and social skills that underpin successful open source projects.
If Catalyst sounds like your kind of place, send us your CV.
