Darwinium | Senior Fullstack Engineer (Frontend focused) | Enterprise Fraud & Risk Management | Remote (GMT+11 – Sydney)
Darwinium helps some of the world’s biggest companies stop fraud before it happens — without breaking the experience for genuine customers. We do this through a unique edge-deployed architecture that provides real-time visibility and control across every customer journey.
We’re a VC-backed startup of 35 people, with engineering and product based in Sydney. The founding team previously built and exited companies in the fraud and security space (including billion-dollar outcomes).
The role: We’re looking for a senior fullstack engineer who enjoys working across boundaries from TypeScript frontends and backend services to data pipelines and distributed systems. You’ll work closely with our platform and product teams to build the tools that power customer fraud detection and orchestration. Someone who has built vscode extensions or has worked closely in the fraud or security space would be a bonus
Our stack: Rust for the engine, ClickHouse for persistence, TypeScript (React + Node) for frontend and ancillary services, deployed globally at the edge.
We do quite a lot of this using webviews in vscode over at Darwinium. Similar process that involves postMessages between the UI container and the host containing the LSP. Biggest challenge I had with this was figuring out how to map a diagnostic from the language server (which is inherently range-based) to a UI component that would display it - it involves a fairly intricate pubsub system and mapping UI components explicitly to parts of a tree. Would love to share it eventually.
I cancelled my Prime membership 3 years ago after moving to Australia. Haven't missed it in the slightest. I make far fewer impulse purchases and found prime video anaemic at best.
just went to the store to buy a Vodafone prepaid sim card. There were about 60 people in line.
Point of sales are out in a lot of coffee shops. Utter chaos!
If you work in an emergency room or similar this could be a major nightmare.
If you are a software developer it's best to take a day off or read a book (good for those who have bought a physical one). No reason to stress, isn't your project delayed by more than a day anyway?
Many phones support a second line with an SIM/eSIM setup. As most people still use a SIM in Australia, I wonder if having a second line with an eSIM on a very basic pre-paid plan would work for those people.
In theory, you could have line 1 forward to line 2 when 'unreached'. Of course you'd want the second line to be different network.
That's true, even Telstra was slow getting to it (was only available for prepaid services for a long while). I think Aussie telcos need a bit of kick to really go in on eSIM, such as Apple releasing eSIM only iPhone's in the USA. You can't even get a add-on SIM for an Apple/Android Smartwatch from anyone except the big three here still.
It would be good to have regulation surrounding eSIM, because telcos will always find a way to make it awful. E.g. able to do 24x7, max 1hr processing time, no cost to user, able to do via self-service options.
Millions of developer hours and hundreds of millions of dollars spent developing hugely complex software just so that the omnibox's default target is bing.com instead of google.com
I wouldn’t underestimate that. All CDN vendors are substantially different. Lambda @edge is broken into requests and responses, and don’t even get me started on Akamai.
