Arturia designs musical instruments and software for musicians and producers, professionals and beginners alike. Its mission is to make music creation accessible to everyone through technology, and to offer the most intuitive and user-friendly experience.

Arturia started its journey in 1999 with the recreation of legendary analog synthesizers in software form, which then led to developing a full range of hardware synthesizers and contemporary audio tools. The products rely on innovation to offer a daring, accessible, fun, and inspiring approach to sound exploration.

Arturia is growing and now employs over 180 passionate people located in France, the USA, Hong-Kong, Mexico, and the UK. Arturians share an ambition for excellence, values such as transparency and simplicity, and a culture of celebration around successes.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll play a key role in delivering the next generation of real-time audio instruments and effects at Arturia. Beyond writing high-performance C++ code, you’ll help shape the architecture, influence product direction, and raise the engineering bar across the team.

You’ll work at the intersection of DSP, UX, and product design, collaborating with sound designers, product managers, and fellow engineers to craft tools that are musically powerful, technically robust, and built to scale.

_What You’ll Do

• Design and implement real-time C++ audio software, from sound engines to user-facing features

• Contribute to architectural decisions for instruments, effects, and frameworks

• Collaborate with sound designers and product teams to deliver expressive, playable, and efficient musical tools

• Improve performance, memory usage, and scalability across our audio product line

• Ensure quality through testing, CI pipelines, and code reviews, and help strengthen our engineering practices

• Support and mentor other developers, contributing to a culture of technical excel

Requirements:

_What You Bring
