Salary
Who we are We're building a Catholic meditation app. Think Calm or Headspace, but for prayer. We believe that people are searching for peace spiritual growth, and that there is no surer way to find it than by learning to sit in silence with God: “Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest” (Mt 11:28). Our goal is to build something that combines the beauty of the Church’s spirituality with truly world-class tech design. We launched the app in the Apple and Google Play stores in December of 2018 and so far we’ve been humbled with incredible growth traction. We've been downloaded over three million times and have over 50,000 5-star reviews. We're blessed to be backed by some of the best VC investors in the world and are excited to build out the team to help a lot more folks grow closer to God. tldr: we’re a seed stage VC-backed faith-based startup looking for a mission-driven, detail-oriented audio engineer who’s excited to edit and engineer a high fidelity, spoken word-oriented audio experience. Reach out with any questions! Thanks! What you'll do Work directly with Head of Audio, our world-class audio engineering team, and our Philippines Content Lead. So far, we have been editing, mixing and mastering all audio (600 hrs+ of spoken-word) with a small team of engineers, none of whom speak Filipino. You’ll be the key member of our audio team who will create a world-class audio experience for hundreds of thousands of Filipinos! You'll edit audio in Filipino and English and, if you speak the language, in Bisaya as well. Analyze and sort recordings: You’ll be the first set of ears on new recordings. You’ll pick out the best takes, remove unwanted audio, and piece together what you consider the best, single take. You’ll have a huge hand in what the final product sounds like. Edit recordings: You will be in charge of taking that best take (or takes) and guiding it through to the mixing stage. You’ll be working heavily in Izotope Rx (or similar), removing noise, clicks, pops, hum, breaths, and other unwanted artifacts. We want the cleanest possible end product, and you’ll be the first line of defense. Assist in recording environments: We record in many different scenarios, and often will need a hand in setting up, capturing, and tearing down. You’ll work closely with the rest of the audio team to determine the best possible recording set-ups for any given situation and assist with execution. Assist with mix master: The more ears the better. You’ll help us to fine-tune mixing mastering so we can provide Hallow members with the optimal audio experience What you'll love Mission: this work is incredibly humbling. Everyday we get amazing stories and we get the pleasure of working on something that’s impacting lives. One of my favorite user quotes: “I hate quoting an old, overused cliche, but I’ve been very lost. And I think for the first time in a while I may be found.” Ownership: you’ll be a huge part of our audio process. There’s nothing more exciting as an engineer than creating something beautiful, pristine, and moving, and we strive to do that every day. Growth: from day 1 you’ll be a part of the startup journey. Over the next year we’ll build out the company significantly and we’ll need your help to create a world class audio team. Flexibility: HQ is in Chicago this is a remote position and can be done from anywhere in the world. We don’t care when you work just that it gets done. Some overlap in time zones with Manila, where our Philippines Content Lead is, would be ideal. Comp: Dependent on experience. This is a contract position and does not offer health or retirement benefits. What we're looking for Passion: First foremost, we’re looking for someone excited about our mission. It makes it a lot more fun :) Experience: Key here is someone who has a firm grasp on audio production, esp. on the post-side. The role will be focused on the first stages of post-production, so knowing the software what to listen for is important. Experience using RX or other audio repair software would be extremely helpful (we use Logic Pro X as our DAW). Live-recording experience is also be useful. Bilingual (English and Filipino): Filipino/Tagalog and English fluency is an absolute requirement for this role. Grit detail-oriented: We really care about what we’re doing try to build as fast as we can. Since we’re guiding prayer and meditation, the audio has to be as clean as possible and we need to go the extra mile as a team to create the right space for our users to grow in their faith. We are so incredibly humbled that you're considering joining the team. Best, Alex J CEO Co-Founder
