Junior Developer in UK

Fri, 17 May 2013 15:42:36 GMT

Songkick is looking for a gifted junior developer to work primarily on data acquisition: writing scrapers and implementing feeds to greedily acquire vast amounts of clean, useful data for our users.

This challenge requires a diverse range of skills: you’re going to have to read from other peoples’ APIs, parse HTML when no API is available, talk to our middleware messaging layer, and manage an ever-growing codebase of data-acquisition systems. You’ll have to be creative and think on your feet – we are often not talking to official APIs, and this results in a daily game of cat and mouse to keep the data flowing in. Having already gained some (up to 2 years) commercial development experience, you’ll be hungry to further hone your development skills at a high profile startup.

Your hard work will not go unnoticed, and we will do our part to help you build a highly successful career here at Songkick. This is an opportunity to join an experienced team and work alongside exciting talent on some very hard, very intriguing problems.

We are developing a world-leading destination website.

Mobile Developer @ Songkick in UK

Sun, 05 May 2013 07:05:49 GMT

We’re looking for a gifted mobile developer who has strong experience building applications for either Android or iOS. Knowing both platforms is an advantage, but knowing only one is fine as long as you’re willing to learn the other. Our mobile apps are tightly integrated with our back-end services via our API, so you should be comfortable writing server-side code and modifying our APIs to support new functionality for the apps.

You’ll work closely with our back-end teams as well as our product managers, visual designers and user experience folks to create really awesome mobile apps. We need someone who will see this is an exciting challenge and an opportunity to learn from some of the best in the business.

We’re looking for a self-starter with the ability to take on the primary development of our mobile apps. We have a number of exciting new products in development which will be primarily or significantly mobile. This is an opportunity for you to develop a key role within a team that is growing fast, at one of London’s most successful startups.
