Creative Audio is a centralized team that touches every product Meta produces, making our team integral to the company. We collaborate with product and creative teams across Meta to design audio for video, post‑production audio, final mixing and mastering, audio field recording, sound effects, and large‑scale content projects across a wide range of software and hardware, including but not limited to your phone, glasses, VR headsets and a mix of Augmented Reality / Mixed Reality across these devices. We’re a team of over 60 audio experts who design the experiences that connect people through the power of sound.

The Creative Audio team is seeking a Creative Coder for the Tech & Prototypes department. This role collaborates closely with Engineering and Product Design to define sound functionality and deliver advanced audio features. It involves developing advanced audio solutions, optimizing performance, refining tools, leveraging machine learning and generative AI, and solving complex technical challenges at the intersection of audio and artificial intelligence. As a key contributor to Meta’s day‑to‑day sound design, the Creative Coder provides creative and technical insights to drive innovative, immersive audio experiences, offering a long runway for creativity, innovation, and empowerment to push the boundaries of sound technology and make a meaningful impact.

Responsibilities

  • Collaborate with design and engineering teams to deliver cutting‑edge audio functionality, tooling, and pipeline solutions.
  • Provide technical audio leadership, empowering sound designers, composers, and creators, while elevating audio quality across all Meta products and platforms.
  • Apply creativity and product thinking to develop innovative, audio‑focused prototypes and experiences that enhance user experience and drive team and company success.
  • Build functional prototypes from early concepts at various levels of fidelity, utilizing a range of design tools and programming languages, and implement them across multiple platforms.
  • Translate emerging technical domains and knowledge into actionable ideas and explorations.
  • Clearly articulate prototype design decisions to internal stakeholders and offer constructive feedback to partners.
  • Collaborate closely with a global team to create unique sonic experiences and drive projects to completion.
  • Prepare and test implementation accuracy, working with internal and external teams to resolve bugs and optimize audio within products.
  • Leverage code as a design medium to bridge the gap between product goals and engineering implementation, as well as unlock features for external developers.
  • Establish pipelines and best practices for leveraging ML / AI models in prototypes.
  • Work closely with PMs, engineers, researchers, and sound designers to lead the creation and execution of engaging audio‑driven user experiences.

Minimum Qualifications

  • 6+ years implementing and coding sonic experiences for products in mobile, hardware, and / or non‑traditional immersive environments.
  • 5+ years development experience with Python, C#, Kotlin, JavaScript, or C++.

  • Experience with game engine audio implementation and middleware (e.g., Wwise, FMOD Studio, Unreal MetaSounds).
  • Understanding of DSP and audio signal processing.
  • Hands‑on experience integrating machine learning models (TensorFlow, PyTorch, ONNX) into production pipelines for tasks such as inference, data processing, and generative workflows.
  • Experience debugging code across various development environments.
  • Experience managing collaboration tools and version control systems (e.g., GitHub, Perforce).
  • Experience prioritizing tasks and adapting quickly to changes in scope.
  • Time‑management and organizational skills to meet delivery specifications and deadlines.
  • BA / BS in Audio or Music Technology, Computer Science, Transmedia, or equivalent work experience.
