We are looking for a highly motivated individual with strong knowledge of modern C++ software design and development.
As our Audio Software Developer you will help design, develop and support the Spotics audio engine. You will implement audio processing algorithms, typically as C++ translations of research code in Matlab or Python. The audio engine framework needs continuous maintenance, improvement and extensions, and you will be involved in developing workflows, modules and configurations.
We are building a modular, cross-platform application potentially running on a wide specter of production platforms: custom Linux-based hardware, web service, audio plug-in, or standalone PC application. Support for extensibility and customization will be a key feature. Thanks to Docker containers you are free to work on your own favorite development platform.
You must expect to spend time on profiling the software in order to optimize performance, efficiency, reliability and scalability of the engine architecture.
You will join a small team of experienced software developers, embedded programmers and audio researchers. We promote cross-functionality with overlapping roles and responsibilities. As a member of the team you will contribute actively to software quality management through automated testing, code reviews and a commitment to agile development practices.
We believe in a small, dynamic and lean organization. This puts a lot of pressure on only getting the top talents in every position. This position offers a unique opportunity for you to take part in our vision.
Responsibilities we'll entrust you with
Implement audio processing routines in C++
Improve and extend the cross-platform application framework
Profile and optimize application performance
Produce clean, readable code and participate in code reviews
Contribute with ideas and solutions and help define new features with the team
Bridge the gap between embedded software and front-end development (and feel free to contribute on either side of the gap!)
Keep yourself updated on tools and solutions relevant for audio programming and share knowledge with your colleagues
Stuff you can brag about
BSc Degree or higher in Computer Science, Signal Processing, Music technology, Industrial Mathematics or similar
Demonstrable and documented expertise in C++ programming
Knowledge of modern C++ (C14/17), RAII, exception handling, STL and Boost
A commitment to automated testing and clean code
Knowledge of tools for profiling and performance tuning
Proficiency in math
Familiar with agile/scrum development and GIT
Excellent communication skills in English
Accurate, organized, self-driven and proactive
Curious and entrepreneurial, a hands-on, solution oriented do-er!
Nice to have
An interest in sound and/or sound production
Experience with audio signal processing and/or ambisonics
Familiar with applied machine learning
Contributions to open-source projects related to media technologies
Experience with front-end development for web or native mobile platforms
Familiar with Atlassian tools for documentation and project management
