[London] Love live music and hacking? Join Songkick.

Songkick is looking for an amazing hacker. You'll become a core member of our small but extremely talented technical team.

Our goal is to make it easier and more fun to discover and experience live music. If you want to find out a bit more about what we do here's a short video of me blabbering about our launch in March at SxSW: http://www.downloadsquad.com/2008/03/19/video-ian-hogarth-of...

We've received funding from some of the top investors in Europe and the US including Y Combinator, Saul Klein (The Accelerator Group), Jeff Clavier and Betaworks.

Some of the cool stuff we're working on are live music recommendations and an Alexa style ranking to show which bands are hottest on the web right now. Two of our team members have a background in Machine Learning and it has really influenced the way we approach these problems.

What we're looking for:

- Proven experience building awesome web apps

- Ability to work in a flexible manner, building prototypes fast and evolving these into massively scalable production-quality systems

- Ability to turn round solutions to problems incredibly quickly

- Ability to easily pick up new technologies and incorporate them into production software

- In depth knowledge of Unix systems, MySQL, Apache and standard development tools.

- Passion for music, particularly live music

- A good degree in Computer Science/Engineering/Physics/Math or a related subject

Also a big plus would be:

- Experience with Ruby on Rails

- Experience with large scale web scraping and/or data mining problems

To apply please send your resume, news.yc username, URLs of cool things you've built along with a short email introducing yourself to joinsongkick at our domain by 15th June 2007.
