Software Engineer, Support Tools

Known for our outstanding voices across the U.S., Audacy is the premier provider of local, spoken word, and premium audio content.  For technical talent, we have created a team that leverages new toolsets, develops collaboratively with business stakeholders, and is pushing the boundaries of audio every day.   

We are looking for an innovative, passionate and results driven Software Engineer to join our rapidly growing engineering team to help us build the future of radio and audio together.  

You listen to Audacy content all of the time…and may not know how much more incredible audio content we offer including: podcasts, news & sports talk radio, and amazing music stations.  As a leader in all-things-audio, Audacy is transforming the listening experience through innovation and interactivity–and you may be just the person to join our team to help us do this!

The AmperWave team at Audacy provides audio delivery services for both Audacy and a large number of radio groups across the country and beyond.  As a tools developer, you will be building the tools to enable the support team to do their jobs.  In addition to being a developer, you will lend a hand in requirements gathering and project planning as well.  Everything we do in our team relates to our mission to deliver a world-class audio experience with music, podcasts, sports, news, and so much more!

We are developers and we understand what developers need. You’ll have the opportunity to contribute to new ideas, learn new technologies, and architect new features. Friendly code reviews make us all better and you get to be a part of that by both reviewing 

code and having yours reviewed. We have fun doing what we do, and you will too!

If you love audio and building incredible software, then we are the place for you.
