Senior Software Engineer (Android)
iZotope is seeking a Senior Android Software Engineer for a position on our Spire product development team, creating the next-generation recording studio. You’ll be joining a cross-functional software team responsible for the software running on the Spire Studio hardware device and our iOS/Android Spire applications.

The Spire software team is highly collaborative with a passion for high-quality code. We propose changes and solve problems together in whiteboard design sessions, give and receive feedback in detailed code reviews, and discuss testing details with our QA team.

Besides designing and writing code, expect to learn about our users to help us make informed decisions every day. You don’t need to be knowledgeable about audio production, but a passion to help our users is a must.
At iZotope you'll find an employee-focused work environment with flexible hours, great 401(k) and insurance plans, and a fully-functioning recording studio that you can use after hours!
