About Us

Sofar Sounds is a global community that connects artists and audiences through unique and intimate experiences. Sofar shows transform everyday spaces — from living rooms and rooftops, to boutiques and museums — into captivating venues for intimate gigs, creating inclusive experiences that bring people closer together. Founded in London in 2009, Sofar creates space where music and arts matter in 400 cities around the world.

Our global team is distributed across the US and UK, and is backed by some of the best-known consumer industry investors (TCG, Battery Ventures, Union Square Ventures, Octopus and others).

As an Audio Engineer at Sofar, you’ll bring the magic on the sound desk at local shows throughout NYC. Our shows are intimate and all about the music – which makes the sound that much more important. Working with our local crew teams, you’ll ensure that our Sofar shows sound incredible and artists sets go off without a hitch. We work in some pretty cool and unexpected places, so you may need to get creative depending on the venue!

Please note: this is a month-to-month contract role. During that period of time, you are expected to work consistent shifts (2-4 per month depending on show volume) and bring your own gear to shows, including PA and mixer. The majority of our shows take place during the evenings on Thursday - Saturday.
