AHHHHH…Whatdya mean you gotta have programming skills. Won’t a nice smile, handful of wit, and bag full of charm suffice? Oh, and a love/addiction for discovering new music? We hypers are the vanguards of 21st century culture after all… I’ll take my job offer off the air, thanks.

Looks like an interesting role, I’d love the chance to live in NY if circumstances allowed it.
Doesn’t partciuarly sound like a front-end job, server-side languages and db work makes me think back end!

Sounds like a great developer job and intern position. Wish I lived closer and had a bit more java skills. Your site is one of my favorites.

Are you looking for interns ? JE SUIS LÀÀÀ !!!

k this all sounds cool. but your req’s seem a little much and i dont think anyone with all the CSS, ect skills knows culture, music, underground, trend, ect. dope if ya a techie that knows all that. what you need is one techie to follow those producers, engineers, musicians, game changers or whatever and report. sounds like a cool job though find you interesting people first. then find your techies and pair em up. much easier. just saying cause i like this website a lot!

How about a really amazing SEO/PPC guy that is crazy passionate about hypem?
May 8, 2012 3:16 pm
Namely I’ve been looking for a site like this in years, and you guys are really doing an awesome job.
I have a crazy passion for music, in almost any form, as long as it’s well done. I’m an amateur musician in my sparetime. E.g. I love sitting by the piano, just improvising, singing whatever’s on my mind.
Working with music and contributing to a new generation of music distribution would be a dream coming true.
I’m currently being educated what in international terms could be called a “information technologist” or “computer scientist”, on my last semester.
I’ve learned Java (also Android), C# (WPF and ASP.NET), GRASP, SQL (MySQL and MS SQL), Scrum, UP and more.
I sadly wasn’t familiar with UX before I looked it up. It seems very comprehensive (and experience-driven), yet very interesting.
And my virginity with CSS was only lost a few months ago, so that’s will probably be some time until I can call myself ‘strong’ on that.
Although, I did work with Photoshop for a couple of years, so working with graphical designs and paying attention to detail isn’t entirely new to me.
Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that eventually, in a few years, there’s still guys out there like me who REALLY wants to work with YOU, not just because we want to be occupied or want money in the bank.
