Roon
The Roon team is obsessive about creating the best experiences for people who love music and sound. We built our first music product in 2004 and ever since, we’ve pursued new technologies to bring more music into peoples’ lives. After collaborating on music software for Sooloos, Meridian Audio, and HP, we founded Roon Labs in 2015. In 2023 we joined the family of brands owned by Harman International Industries.
We’re part of Harman International, but we operate as a standalone business unit that’s led by its founders. Our “spiritual home” is New York City – that’s where the founders originally met back in ancient times – but now we’re around 60 people spread over several continents. We all work remotely, so our Slack workspace is our office and we meet via the web. Our diverse team covers so many time zones that there is literally always someone “in the office.”
Our structure gives us a meaningful advantage as our team grows. Since we’re not geographically constrained, we get to hire the most talented, ambitious people who love music and take pride in their work, regardless of who they are or where they live. With the resources of Harman behind us, we're excited to bring rich music experiences to more people. We have big plans, and we need the best people to join us to help make them reality.
