Cadmus | Front End Developer (React/Redux) | Melbourne, AU | Full-Time | Onsite

We are a Melbourne based startup that is growing fast and is well funded for expansion. Cadmus is an online environment where assessment can be created by teachers and completed by students. It offers you a new way of conducting assessment, with no compromise on workload, academic integrity or student experience. This enables you to create the right assessment piece to achieve your graduate and learning outcomes.

We are looking for a software developer (mainly front-end) who can help us expand and scale the Cadmus platform as it reaches millions of University students around the world. Our platform is reliant on rich front-end applications which drives the entire product experience.

The requirements on these applications keep us on the edge of web standards and web APIs. Hence, we are looking for a React and front-end superstar. A talent for UI and UX design would be awesome! If you are willing, you can definitely dip your hands in our back-end Elixir code.

Tech: Elixir, Phoenix, Python, React, Redux, Apollo, GraphQL...

If you have a passion for the new declarative web and love building in React, come join us! You can email us at careers @ cadmus dot io. Let us know you have read this.

PS: We are also fans of the functional reactive programming paradigm (through Redux), and FP in general.

Re:Labels in input fields aren’t such a good idea on Tuesday February 05, 2013 @03:32AM (#5169741)
A well-designed site is not distinguished from an not-so-well-designed easily. There have been times where, during on of my haphazard working days, I come back to the (already focused) login form and forget whether the form asked for username or email (despite the fact that the form would have accepted both).
Thanks for the heading! I will try out AWS (after I can find a working payment method) and read up on the topics you mentioned. I think my thought process falls broadly under: "Where/what do I start learning for making such a system myself?"

Ask HN: Where do I learn about the working of Web applications on the cloud?

When I starting using Heroku, I was desperately trying to understand what the dyno(s) are and how the processes work. While I can write web applications in python .etc., I only understand the obvious from the functioning of these "cloud application platforms" and I feel it is not enough at all. Similarly for Node.js.Could you direct me towards some good books and/or resources which talks about...

I would actually like to know if there is a real difference in performance between the apps compiled from flash and those written in objective-C ?
"People thought Apple will revolutionize tablets, but they got an iPad. But to make a revolutionary tablet Apple just needed to increase the size of the iPhone." I don't remember where I read it but that line is awesome.
For me opera never loaded pages as smoothly as firefox and chrome. Will try this.
Re:Ask HN: Do you understand your operating system? on Monday March 01, 2010 @09:21AM (#1158716)
Windows: never tried to Linux: I know quite a bit but the important thing is that I know that I will understand everything I don't know. Learn by experience.

Re:Do you have a blog? And if so, why? on Friday February 12, 2010 @10:06AM (#1120692)
This reason is kind of lazy, but: Blogs help in making an awesome site devoted only to a particular subject and news about that subject easily. But the only criteria is: don't let it look like a normal blog.

For a personal blog: 1) Love writing about ideas and my thoughts even though a selected few would only read them. Makes me feel good and keeps my brain working.

2) After school, we didn't have a proper language subject, just computer science, maths ..., writing maintains the communication strength. Language is important too!

Re:Ask HN: Should I learn C or continue C++ on Monday February 01, 2010 @12:38PM (#1092870)
That certainly does simplify things in my mind. Thank you. I will leave C for such a time that I need it. I will continue on my path with python because I have come a long way. Thanks.

Ask HN: Should I learn C or continue C++

The first programming language I was introduced to was directly Java (Not including web languages). Java was taught in our school so I had to learn it. Because it was my first introduction to programming I took a great deal of interest in Java and went beyond our school syllabus. After I left school (i.e passed 10th grade in my country)I stopped continuing with Java. I became inclined towards...

Re:Ask HN: What's your problem? on Monday February 01, 2010 @08:30AM (#1092294)
My problem is time. I am still a student in India where you have one exams after another and all on completely different levels. I want to do what I love with programming and be part of projects which interest me, whose products I use (best example would be Ubuntu), but I know if I start, I will only be able to do it for a couple of weeks and then its back to studying something totally unrelated. This on and off sessions keeps me totally out of shape for programming as I am not able to get good practice. I eagerly wait for the day when I am free to do what I love indefinitely.
