The Roon team has a common passion for music, sound, and user experience. We are proud to deliver high quality, well-loved software (and some hardware) to music lovers and audiophiles all over the world. Our subscribers are more than customers; they’re fans who share our passion for music and participate vigorously in the community that surrounds our product, which has become the gold standard for music players in the “audiophile” world.
SKILLS WE VALUE
SKILLS WE VALUE
The basics of remote work are important: excellent English communication skills, independent work, and the ability to own projects to completion. We’re a fairly flat organization, so we all self-manage and do grunt work when our projects require it. We support each other, so asking questions when you’re stuck – and helping others when you can – is a big part of our culture. We obviously look for strong computer science fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, programming languages, distributed systems, databases, and information retrieval, and we expect that you write comprehensible code and think about maintainability. When things break – and they will – we count on everyone to be eager to help fix them.
