Company Description

Cadmore Media is a rapidly growing media hosting service with products supporting research, professional education, and virtual/hybrid conferences. A mission-driven, customer-focused organization, Cadmore works with high-profile associations, societies and publishers who produce video and audio content created by the world’s most prominent scientific experts. Our clients love us, and we continually strive to delight. As a fast-growing startup at the forefront of our industry, Cadmore is a challenging and exciting work environment.

Products

Cadmore currently supports several web-based offerings: a platform and player where users can manage and publish their multimedia content and metadata; media libraries, which are customizable sites for curating and publishing multimedia content; a virtual/hybrid event platform designed for scholarly conferences; and an API that allows existing data and workflows to be integrated with the Cadmore solutions. Cadmore is also undergoing a version 2.0 initiative to update the platform and player offering and building out live streaming capabilities.

Work Environment

All team members all work from home, using Microsoft Teams and Zoom to regularly communicate. Our primary development and business operations are split between US Eastern Time and UK GMT, occasionally requiring staff to overlap time zones. All development projects at Cadmore use C# .NET (Core 3.1 and .Net 4.7), ASP.NET (MVC), Web API, Azure Sql Server, and Azure hosting. All our solutions are web-based and as such are architected using HTML/CSS and JavaScript, with Bootstrap and JQuery providing some framework solutions. We strive to avoid dependencies where possible, and therefore do not encourage the overuse of frameworks without good cause.

Job Description

The .NET developer candidate will report to a Senior Developer already on staff who will provide guidance, instruction, necessary training, and direction. The candidate will support Senior Developers with assigned tasks forming a small team as assigned by the Senior Developer. This position will both work on new builds as well as maintain and extend existing builds.

A strong ability to self-manage time and priorities is a must. Also, an attitude that seeks to perfect solutions while also having the wisdom to know what is required for perfection given tight deadlines is a big plus. A willingness and desire to interact directly with customers to provide solutions and a customer-positive (internal and external) attitude is required. Finally, you will be required to work on front ends, especially in CSS to either copy presented designs or do your best to facilitate design as designers are not always available nor a best fit. Developers need the ability the conceptualize existing complex models and project architecture to quickly onboard. This means getting comfortable with existing development patterns, architecture, and a willingness to learn as you go.

About Cadmore Media

Cadmore Media was founded in 2018 by scholarly and video publishing veterans who saw a need to make video publishing an accessible proposition for a wide range of academic and professional use cases. Essentially, we want to transform the creation and dissemination of video and audio content in the scholarly world through expert technology, robust partnerships, and best-in-class service.

To do this, we hire great people, build client-driven products, and facilitate industry-wide innovation. We were awarded the Digital Science Catalyst Grant in 2018 and the NFAIS Digital Startup Challenge in 2019. In 2020 we released our virtual event platform, now a core element of our services. Today, we’re a fast-growing publishing technology start-up with a team of knowledgeable, supportive professionals. We believe in “working hard and being nice to people”: although our work ethic is high, we strive to give all team members an empowering environment in which they can grow, contribute to the company’s mission, and acquire a high degree of autonomy. We welcome and debate new ideas and suggestions and we encourage creativity.

Accessibility and inclusivity are at the heart of Cadmore’s mission, and we will enthusiastically consider applicants who may need special accommodations to perform their work.
