You will then communicate with fellow developers to ensure that the developed software fits the needs and remains continuously relevant and efficient.

Our products have received several awards and best in-class reviews in all categories. With us, your work will help push the boundaries of today’s audio technology and reinforce our position at the forefront of innovation.

Empowerment drives our innovation

We are a company of approximately 900 employees and that makes us small, agile and gives room for individual flexibility and decision-making – this is how we work best. Our hierarchy is flat and our communication is open and trustworthy. We believe that constructive feedback makes us grow as individuals and as a company, and our leadership is based on a clear direction and facilitating collaboration across functions and borders. We believe strongly in mutual respect and have a genuine interest in learning from each other. 

 We are more than just a workplace

Life is more fun when it is shared and experienced with others. We collaborate, create and innovate on a global scale every day and we celebrate and enjoy life together too. We do Musical Fridays, sports events and get together around good food and celebrate local traditions, all centered around our passion for music.
