I'm a developer at Infoxchange, and we're actually looking for a senior dev to join our Melbourne team. Development of the Ask Izzy app was a collaboration between our team here and REA group, which goes to show the kind of thing you get to be a part of at Infoxchange.

In Melbourne, we have a small team working on a number of projects with Python, Django, Docker, Elasticsearch and React.js. We run some very modern tech, and we work really closely with our amazing ops team and testers.

If that sounds like your cup of tea, we'd love to talk to you! There's an ad for the position with more detail up on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/jobs2/view/112633872 or if you prefer, you can email recruitment@infoxchange.org

I've been Ops lead at Infoxchange for over 3 years now, I never thought I'd stay at an organisation for that long. I truly love my job, it's the first time in my life that I wake up on a Monday morning actually wanting to go to work. The people are fantastic, the organisational ethics are real and transparent and there's little to no bureaucracy.

I guess this is worth a punt: I'm in Sydney and currently out of work. I've got experience with a lot of languages and I learn pretty quickly, in fact I'm currently working on refactoring the Libreoffice codebase.

I'm looking for part time work, and frankly a lower salary doesn't worry me even slightly as I want to focus on looking after my kids and spend more time with my wife... You wouldn't have any part time work going? I'm a dedicated worker who values quality code and practices.

Hopefully this isn't too inappropriate asking on HN!

Chris, completely fine to ask here, What are you Python skills like? If Python isn't your main skillset is there another language you're proficient at?

Check out one of jobs we're hiring for here: https://www.linkedin.com/jobs2/view/112633872?trk=jobs_home_...

Even if you don't quite fit into that description certainly email recruitment@infoxchange.org , say that your saw the post here and give some information about yourself!

My Python skills are limited, but that's never stopped me before :-) I've got decent skills in Perl (yeah, ancient but Perl is under appreciated!), Ruby has always been an interest of mine... I guess my main skill is I'm a rapid learner.

I'll have a look at the link - thanks! Will shoot over an email once I'm home.

Regardless of the outcome though, it's impressive what you guys are doing. I love that you are doing something to help the homeless :-)

Oh great, I think we'd love to speak to you. We do have one Perl app that's still quite heavily used actually...

Chris, did you get in contact with recruitment re: some potential work?
