Senior SW Engineer, Backend – Dirac Live for Home & Pro

Senior SW Engineer, Backend – Dirac Live for Home & Pro
Dirac is a world-renowned audio technology company and we’re passionate about sound. Wherever or however you enjoy audio, we give your audio system the power to push beyond its physical limitations. We transform your car into a mobile HiFi room. Headphone listening becomes a fully immersive experience, your studio being optimized for accurate listening, and your mobile device turns into a pocket-sized entertainment center. Many of the most respected and recognizable electronics and automotive manufacturers already use Dirac technologies in their products, including Harman, Klipsch, Cleer, Nio, OPPO, Pioneer, Volvo, Rolls Royce, BYD and many others.
Dirac is headquartered in Uppsala, Sweden, with offices in China and India, as well as representatives in Japan, USA, South Korea and Germany. Additionally, Dirac operates an R&D center in Copenhagen, Denmark. Undergoing an intense growth phase, the Dirac team consists of more than 100 people – with additional expansion on the immediate horizon.
We are looking for a senior SW engineer, backend, for our Home & Pro team in Uppsala, Sweden.
The team develops and productizes our renowned Dirac Live solution for room correction and bass control, targeting home AVR’s (audio video receivers), as well as home and professional studio users. We have some of the world’s largest AVR brands as our customers. The solution enables calibration,correction,and optimization to enhance sound system performance and minimize any negative influence of room acoustics.It is based on end-user measurements, feeding into patented and highly unique correction technology. Part of the solution is integrated into the AVR, and part is an end-user app, for either desktop or mobile. We are currently improving the user experience as well as developing new powerful features to improve the audio experience even further.
Dirac product development is anchored in our Dirac Intelligent Audio Platform, which enablesour unique value propositions efficiently, with high scalability, high re-use across multiple market verticals, high quality, and short time to market. This is achieved via a modulararchitecture, composed from well-definedandreusable components, separation of business logic and configuration, customization by configurationrather than dedicated code, high portability and test coverage, continuous integration, verified releases, and automation.
As a senior SW engineer for Dirac Live, you will join an agile product team of passionate developers and audio enthusiasts. You will contribute to the solution’s backend processing, with design, implementation, test, and evaluation of algorithms for estimation and design of filters for calibration,correction,and optimization. Most of the implementation is in C++ running locally inside the end-user app, but with some parts running in the cloud. Your responsibilities will include conversion ofMatlabor Python signal processing algorithms into scalable and maintainable C++ code, optimizing algorithm complexity (cycles and memory footprint), implementation of heavy signal processing algorithms in the cloud (AWS), assisting the product owner to refine complex and large work items into smaller, valuable,and estimated user stories, evaluate and improve the audio quality of the audio processing algorithms, assist with 2nd line customer support, and maintain and improve the infrastructureand processes for build, test, and release.
Home & Pro team-members are located mainly in Uppsala.
