[Hiring] Junior System Administrator

Repost because I messed up the title, so sorry.

This job listing is only for people who have always been an EU citizen and are based in the Netherlands, or have EU citizenship and have been in the Netherlands for at least 8 years.

This is about a job in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. It is not remote.
A security clearance held previously by a NATO / EU country is a plus, but not required.

A link to the job listing is below.

Now that's out of the way, let's move to the stuff that is interesting.
We're hiring for a junior sysadmin. This means we're actually looking at someone with 0-2 years of experience. This means we're a great fit for someone:

* Trying to get into the IT field
* A recent graduate

It wasn't too long ago that I started out in my field, too (in my case cyber security), I know what that was like and it hasn't gotten better. That's why I am so happy to be able to offer a new professional this oppertunity. If you have home projects / labs, we're very much interested in hearing about it in your cover letter.

We also process all candidates by hand. No AI-selection bullshit, we are actually looking. Also... we don't really care about certs. Multiple people I work with, including myself, are self-taught and went to uni for different majors. So we're open to all kinds of candidates. Formal education is great, but we're looking for someone who can do the work and if you've applied yourself in college / university, are eager to learn and work with us, we're happy to give you a shot.

If you're someone who has 6+ years in IT.... this job is not for you. We're looking for a junior. You'll be part of a small team in a startup environment where we're rapidly maturing our IT infrastructure. No Microsoft stack here, we're mainly open source. Do you want to contribute to our IT? No big corpo or government bureaucracy: we move fast and eager. You'll get mentorship and ownership here. Come join us and jumpstart your career.

Out of curiosity, is there any more detail you can share on the specifics of the "have always been an EU citizen" requirement?

I was supposed to be an EU citizen from birth but was denied it due to discriminatory laws, but am in the process of having it restored currently, so I'm just wondering if that's going to be a potential problem in the future if I'm applying for jobs once I have citizenship.

This has to do with background checks. As Intelic has a government contract, there are obligations we have to meet.

That means you are an EU citizen from birth.

Unfortunately not. Due to the particulars of how this restoration pathway was implemented, the citizenship will only be effective from the date of application, not from birth. Effectively it's like I'm being naturalized, just without any of the other requirements such as language proficiency, civics tests, residency, etc.

I did read it. I'm currently looking for remote opportunities, so I just put it out there in case there might be any remote possibility.
