About Us

Do you want to help design the best software in the world for today’s and tomorrow’s musicians? Do you want to be part of an engaged team where you have the chance to see your ideas come to life? We are now strengthening our team and are looking for a driven audio engine programmer for a full-time position at our headquarters in Umeå.

Toontrack is a leading developer of music creation software. Our customers range from home users to renowned producers, songwriters, and artists who use our sounds and tools daily to create music. The foundation of our business idea is that it should be easy to make music with the help of a computer. This has permeated our operations since the company was founded in 1999 with a vision to create the world’s best virtual drummer. Since then, we have transformed the market for computer-assisted music production.

Today, we are the largest in the industry within the drum segment and are making strong progress in several other areas. We employ over 45 people and have offices in Umeå and Chicago, with the whole world as our market. Our most well-known brands are EZdrummer, Superior Drummer, EZbass, EZmix, and EZkeys.

Your Responsibilities

As an audio engine programmer at Toontrack, you will play an important role in the development of our existing and new software. You will be part of a team with programmers, UX designers, and GUI graphic designers, working on parallel projects that can last from six to 36 months.

Your Main Responsibilities

• Research aimed at continuously improving and developing our software’s ability to reproduce acoustic and electronic instruments
• Collaborate and communicate with the audio department to inform them technically about our systems so they can be used and developed optimally
• Development of our proprietary audio playback engine and internal tools for audio and MIDI processing
• General programming
• Performance analysis and code optimization
• Maintain and update our existing software

Your Profile

• Several years of work experience with C++
• A physics education including wave motion theory

• Experience with Visual Studio or Xcode

It is a plus if you have experience with:

• Samplers and Romplers.
• MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface)
• Electronics
• Good knowledge of Toontrack's products

It is important to us that you share our interest in music-making, songwriting, and audio technology, and that you are accustomed to working with plugins and programs such as Pro Tools, Cubase, or similar, as this will be a significant part of your daily work. It goes without saying that you communicate fluently in both spoken and written Swedish and English.
