Senior Linux system administrator

Appello is an experienced location services company.

We are building the mobile location services of today and tomorrow together with some of the biggest telecom brands around the world.”

Appello was one of the first companies to put turn-by-turn navigation into the cloud and deliver an online, updated and truly local mobile navigation experience as opposed to the inflexible personal navigation systems. This was many years ago and our goal has not shifted. With our products we have the ambition to simplify, encourage and put joy into the lives of mobile people. We’re a relatively small team and all the things fantastic we achieve are thanks to a brilliant team of people, our great technology and an outstanding network of partners and friends.

We like to think of Appello as a young and – dare we say it – innovative company. We believe in things like taking initiatives, rolling up our sleeves, collaboration, sharing of knowledge and experience, assuming responsibility and having fun on and off work. Our dashing office is located in central Gothenburg. We are more interested in the output than at what time you arrive at the office in the morning.

Mobile location based services are our world. We are continuously expanding our product and service portfolio and finding new partners to work with. This makes Appello a versatile workplace where you will be challenged and encouraged to try new things.
