Job Responsibilities

• Produce high-quality music across a range of genres, styles, use cases, and formats
• Bring broad musical knowledge to creative and production decisions (genre conventions, arrangement, and what makes a track effective)
• Track emerging trends in music and culture, including the styles, sounds, and workflows creators are adopting
• Work fluently across a range of music production tools, and adopt new ones quickly
• Work hands-on with emerging generative audio tools and technologies, applying your production expertise to assess their capabilities and share clear, actionable feedback
• Run structured, rubric-based evaluations of music output, including blind A/B comparisons and model-to-model benchmarking — and translate the results into clear, actionable recommendations for creative, product, and research teams
• Partner with creative coders and cross-functional teams ahead of key milestones and reviews
• Document and share your processes and technical setups to support team consistency and knowledge continuity
• Independently plan, track, and deliver projects on time in a fast-paced, evolving environment

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• 4-5 years in professional music production or equivalent creative experience

• A close awareness of current music trends, culture, and creators
• Experience producing, mixing, and/or music engineering, with fluency in studio fundamentals (arrangement, comping, gain staging, bus processing, mastering)

• Strong understanding of DSP, audio synthesis, and digital audio concepts and formats
• Familiarity with generative AI music tools and prompt-based workflows
• Strong critical listening skills and a proven ear for quality; able to clearly articulate why a track does or does not work, not simply whether it sounds good
