Senior Audio Software Engineer
Building an audio-focused mobile app at Google/Snap/TikTok alumni startup
mayk.it is looking for a freelance / part-time senior software engineer with a minimum of 4+ years of relevant JUCE/C++ audio experience required and 3+ years of mobile (iOS or Android) experience preferred to join a newly funded, experienced consumer social app team in shaping the future of casual music creation. If you have worked on building an audio engine or always dreamed of building one, this is the perfect opportunity for you!
Who we are:
mayk.it is on a mission to democratize music creation. We started mayk.it because we realized there were too many barriers to entry when it came to music production, and too many voices going unheard. To fix that, we’re building an innovative, easy-to-use tool to make music creation universally accessible on mobile. We’re making music production as simple and accessible as Instagram and TikTok made photography and videography. We want everyone to bring their song idea from inception to completion, and we want you to help us build the future of music!
As for the team, we’re a mostly LA-based / partially US and EUR distributed team of music-obsessed former Google, Snap and TikTok leads who care a lot about a couple of things:
We’re building a product for a very diverse group of users, so it’s important to us to always have a diverse range of voices and perspectives on the team. Our early team already represents people from so many backgrounds and we are excited for you to bring your unique views, experiences and opinions into the mix.
We’re building a super fun and passion-driven product, and care about working hard to ensure we make the best product possible. We’re striving to make musical creativity accessible to all. We want to make your great ideas happen and, along the way, you’ll get to work with an incredible bunch of passionate people to shape and grow this unique opportunity.
