Job description

FitXR is building the future of fitness. We make fun, immersive workouts in virtual and mixed reality and we’re building for the misfits – people who’ve never felt at home in traditional fitness spaces but who want to move, feel good and belong.

Music and sound are at the core of that experience – they drive motivation, emotion and the connection our community feels with every class.

You’ll be the person behind the sound our members feel – from the moment the beat drops to the final cue of a trainer’s voice. Your work will shape the quality of seven best-in-class workouts each week and bring some magic to FitXR’s sound experience.

What You’ll Actually Be Doing 👀

• Build best-in-class playlists and nonstop DJ-style mixes for our weekly classes
• Push genre diversity and bring fresh ideas that energise our members
• Run tight, reliable VO sessions which help trainers sound their absolute best
• Collaborate with Product on SFX to stretch what’s possible in VR now and AR + mobile in future
• Actively seek feedback from our community and use their insights to shape audio direction

You’ll be great at this role if you ✅

• Have strong music curation and playlisting skills, especially for fitness or gaming
• Have previous experience working with library music platforms eg. Epidemic, Musicbed
• Are a confident DJ/mixer able to craft nonstop, beat-matched experiences
• Have experience running or supporting VO sessions
• Have solid audio engineering foundations
• Are highly skilled with Pro Tools, know Ableton / Logic and have worked with tools like iZotope, FabFilter, Soundtoys and Riverside
• Are proactive and take ownership to close loops – you don’t wait to be asked
• Are highly organised and comfortable managing fast-moving and high-volume weekly workflows
• Have excellent communication skills
• Can be flexible with your working hours if you’re not based in the US – you’ll need to have at least a few hours of overlap with PST time especially on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays

Maybe Skip This One If You ❌

• Prefer rigid structure and slower iteration
• Avoid feedback loops (giving or receiving)
• Struggle with ambiguity or fast-moving creative environments
