What are the responsibilities and job description for the Wireless Deployment Engineer position at MIXhalo?
Come join us at Mixhalo! We are an augmented audio start-up co-founded by guitarist Mike Einziger, and violinist Ann-Marie Simpson, and run by serial entrepreneur and veteran product executive, John Vars. We build wireless solutions for real-time data delivery at live events. Starting first in the music industry, we have built a platform to allow concert-goers to stream live audio at studio quality, directly from the soundboard just as the musicians do on stage (as opposed to blasted over huge speakers into the open air). We have so far partnered with incredible acts like Metallica, Aerosmith, Pharell, and Charlie Puth, among others. We have leveraged the same technology to make multiple channels of real-time play-by-play commentary available through partnerships with the Sacramento Kings, the Los Angeles Football Club, and others.
This is an exciting time for Mixhalo! We are preparing to launch with national scale just as the live events industry is preparing to come roaring back! We are now growing our team and expanding our product offering. Want to be part of the journey?
