Interesting jobs at the BBC

Spotted on City of Sound, via Paul Hammond:

Folks will know I don’t usually do this kind of thing, but ... we’re hiring. I’m looking to add to our Technology and Design team at BBC Radio and Music Interactive. We’re responsible for designing and building all the BBC’s radio and music-based interactive services, from our radio and music web-based products, through to our new DTV channels and WAP services. I manage the team.

[...]

And now, we’re looking for a couple of software engineers, initially on a 6-month contract—good solid programmers, based around Perl, Python etc. Helping make public-facing apps like Challenge Lawro, building internal workflow tools like the wiki Tom wrote about recently, doing R&D stuff around DAB Java, all kinds of things.

I’m not looking for a job, but if I was I’d jump at the chance.

  8. To whom it concerns, This exercise strikes me as a complete waste of time. Ok,I've a great voice for radio and I'd like to front my own show. It would be a late night music show that would be directed towards the growing numbers of women listening to radio. I would have a female sidekick and the show would be a huge success. So, get back to me with the contract. Thanks---Marty

  11. Great IQ, but it appears you missed out on reading comprehension. This is a personal site with no formal connection to the BBC. If you want a job there you should talk to them directly!
