[Hiring] Audio Editor @HumanSignal

Role Description

You’ll master multitrack recordings from our production studio and deliver them to spec through our platform. Each session captures a user mic, an assistant mic, and four channels from a Zoom field recorder. The four-channel portion is where most of the work lives:

• Each channel needs individual leveling, noise reduction, and timing alignment so the mix stays even across the stereo field.
• You’ll work from a rubric, hand off to QA, and flag recording issues (camera movement during dialogue, sync problems) back to the production team.

This is a hands-on editing role. We’re looking for people who can work channel by channel in a DAW, not people who rely on one-click AI cleanup tools.

• Master roughly one file per 3 hours: clean, denoise, level, and align six tracks per session.
• Apply and adjust processing per channel; correct timing offsets between channels.
• Deliver files in the required format and loudness spec through our platform.
• Follow the QA rubric and incorporate feedback from reviewers.
• Note recurring audio problems so the studio team can fix them at the source.

Qualifications

• Proficiency in a professional DAW (Reaper, Pro Tools, Adobe Audition, Logic or similar).
• Experience with multitrack dialogue editing and field recorder audio.
• Strong noise reduction skills (iZotope RX or comparable).
• Ability to hear and correct timing and phase issues between channels.
• Consistency and speed; you can hit a quality bar repeatedly across dozens of files.
• Availability for full-time hours for at least the next two weeks.

Nice to have

• Background in podcast, film, or broadcast post-production.
• Experience working to a rubric or client spec at volume.
• Familiarity with Zoom H-series or F-series recorders.
