Back­ground: The Internet’s ICANN may add in its sole dis­cre­ti­on new top-level domains into its cen­tral Root Ser­ver TLD data­ba­se short­ly. By this domain names like www.why.berlin, www.1.berlin and www.thisisalongdomainname.berlin will beco­me available.
For this reason we are see­king ade­qua­te employees that com­ple­ment the dot­BER­LIN team with excep­tio­nal know­ledge, expe­ri­ence, back­ground and atti­tu­de. For the very nea­rest future we are loo­king to fill the fol­lo­wing posi­ti­ons conscientiously:

Lord of IP Addres­ses (m/f)
You are able to map and trace any .ber­lin domain name in mil­li­se­conds with its cor­re­spon­ding IPv6 address by your pho­to­gra­phic memo­ry and intui­ti­ve allo­ca­ti­on know­ledge; even under excep­tio­nal cir­cum­s­tances and at shif­ting time zones?
If yes, your main task at dot­BER­LIN is the defen­se of the hier­ar­chy, nomen­cla­tu­re and cohe­rence of any kind of IP addres­ses for the secu­ri­ty of our com­pa­ny. The super­vi­si­on of the 3‑charcters rule and its excep­ti­ons is also part of your tasks.
Pre­vious job expe­ri­ence at IANA, Ripe, TCP/IP or http.net is app­re­cia­ted, but not mandatory.

One of your tasks is to spread the visi­on of .ber­lin in the user’s com­mu­ni­ty, with machi­nes, in the over 400 mega­ci­ties world­wi­de and at the outer rim of the Internet’s uni­ver­se.

About dot­BER­LIN
dot­BER­LIN, foun­ded in 2005, is a bot­tom-up com­mu­ni­ty-based orga­niza­ti­on which with the aim to estab­lish and ope­ra­te the .ber­lin top-level domain as name space and iden­ti­ty for all Ber­li­ners. Our focus is to deve­lop .ber­lin respon­si­ble and sus­tain­ab­ly within a mul­ti-stake­hol­der frame­work inclu­ding govern­ment, pri­va­te sec­tor and civil society.
Our visi­on is that the new local .ber­lin domain names are con­cise and crea­te an iden­ti­ty for citi­zens, com­pa­nies and insti­tu­ti­ons. Tho­se pro­vi­ding and loo­king for infor­ma­ti­on, goods and ser­vices can thus intui­tively come tog­e­ther. The .ber­lin domain names will streng­then the fee­ling of com­mu­ni­ty among­st Ber­li­ners, impro­ve com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on and make inter­ac­tion easier, thus pro­vi­ding a sti­mu­lus for inno­va­ti­on and deve­lo­p­ment. Both for Ber­li­ners and for non-Ber­li­ners, the places cal­led Ber­lin beco­me more attrac­ti­ve as a place to visit, as a com­mer­cial loca­ti­on and as a place to live.
