Yup, we’re hiring, and we pretty much need to fill all 17 positions. The following ones are the most critical, so consider these a jump to the top of the pile:
Why come to Last.fm? Well, first of all because we think it’s the place to be if you’re passionate about changing the world of music.
We’re not your regular web two-point-whatever company, and we never will be. We’re a passionate bunch of kids in East London that move and adapt quickly; what most people consider innovative is a standard day around here. We also have a singing microwave.
So what’s the catch? We get a lot of applications and reject most of them. (Also, most positions are only open to EU or work permit holders.) But the good news is: if you make it, you’ll be working alongside some pretty great people.

I’d apply but I’m afraid of working abroad.
Also, I checked out the team and martind looks like a dude I know. Like, a twin. Which is awesome, and almost makes me get over my fear of working abroad.

Can’t they sell those pins internationally? I’d like to wear such a pin on my school blazer and then everytime someone’s like “WTF’s that” then I’d be like “sign up for last.fm” and then there will be so much more people on Last.fm…

You guys should totally share pictures of the office more often! Let us know where the revolution is coming from! Show us how you share music with each other as an office! Youtube the singing microwave!
In fact, why not have a channel on Justin.tv?! :D
What, too far?

If you’re in need of any Flash dev work that needn’t be full-time in London, check out endquote.com and maybe I can help you out from Seattle.

Me being totally qualified for the tech writer position (although usually I’m about 100K/yr for that one) aside, one of the last things one wants their microwave to do is sing. Has anyone ran a florescent bulb around that thing?

I have been tempted to apply for the Web Design Intern position for a while now, but that’s a dream until I can move in October!

and how much earns one working at last.fm? i mean living in london is not the cheapest place. on the one hand working at last.fm might be quite fun, but on the other hand there are some disadvantages in my mind.
