PK Sound is currently looking for a creative, self-starting Software Engineer who is ready to develop new products with passion and precision.
PK SUMMARY
At PK Sound, people are number one, and these people own the company. PK is owned by all of us, the people on the ground, in the trenches, doing the real work and who truly have a passion for what our company is about: creating powerful experiences! Only with this as our core philosophy can we truly give our customers, who are our partners, the exceptional products and service to build long-lasting, mutually beneficial business relationships.
PK Sound is an owner-operated advanced loudspeaker manufacturer proudly headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and servicing the world. We pride ourselves on being a fresh alternative to the status quo, providing creative and innovative solutions in an ever-evolving marketplace. It is one thing to hear music; it is another to experience it. PK was born out of the marriage of acoustic engineering and human emotion, in facilitation of the connection between artist and fan. We measure performance as much in the reaction of a devoted fan as in the read-out of a lab instrument. In all we do, wherever the PK logo appears, there can be no compromise, and no end in our desire to achieve new standards of performance, better approaches to collaboration, and new avenues of innovation to advance industry technology for all.
There is no doubt we work hard, but we have a lot of fun doing it and share in our successes. If you are looking for a company with an amazing brand, industry-changing technology, an exceptional workplace environment, and that’s poised for aggressive growth on the global stage, this job is for you!
