What we offer We’re a curious team of 40 colleagues who all love making plugins and music creation tools. If you’re a team player and eager to learn new stuff you'll feel right at home. At XLN you get a competitive benefits package, including insurance, pension, paid vacation, wellness support, preventive health insurance, and continuous learning opportunities. We work primarily on-site at our office in Stockholm, Sweden, with some possibilities of remote work. It's a big plus if you have an active interest in music-making in some form, like playing instruments, DJ:ing or beat-making. Our office has two complete music studios plus a jam room, perfect for labbing new product concepts or spontaneous playing with colleagues. And we have a ping pong table, of course.
