Audio Innovation Specialist

About the job
Beatgrid is redefining cross-media measurement with breakthrough deep-tech innovation. Brands spend billions on advertising across TV, streaming services, YouTube, radio, podcasts, and other channels. Each platform reports its own results, making it difficult for advertisers to understand who their campaigns reached across media channels and whether they made a difference. Our technology provides an independent view to major platforms and brands, including Google, Amazon Prime, Disney+, and Netflix.
People in our mobile panel run an app on their phone that recognises ads they hear around them, much like Shazam recognises a song. Measuring exposure across channels within the same panel helps advertisers understand how many different people a campaign reached and whether streaming reached audiences that TV missed. Our measurement also helps advertisers understand outcomes such as changes in brand perception and store visits.
We are seeking an Audio Innovation Specialist to join our R&D team, focusing on developing a novel solution for post-processing audio content. This role is at the intersection of creativity and technology, aiming to modify audio signals in ways that are imperceptible to humans but can be uniquely identified by our ACR software. This position offers the opportunity to delve into research and development, contributing to a project that blends audio engineering with potential AI/Machine Learning methodologies.
