We are looking for a DSP Software Developer who is enthusiastic about audio, sound, technology, problem solving, algorithms and optimization.

We welcome candidates from all experience levels, whether you are just graduating, have a few years of experience, or bring senior expertise. What matters most to us is your aptitude and your genuine interest in audio, technology, problem solving, algorithms, and optimization.

The team you will be part of:

You will be part of our local Scrum team, working together with 8 other software teams (in a SAFe framework) with one common goal: bringing new features to market as efficiently as possible, with a focus on innovation.

Your effective communication skills allow you to collaborate easily with colleagues in your local team and remotely across the organization, and you can raise criticism constructively. You take a systematic approach to your work and have a deep sense of detail, whilst having the ability to work with deadlines. Your aptitude for rapidly acquiring knowledge is matched by your enthusiasm for consistent growth.
