Linea are offering a unique opportunity for a student to join our Windows Software Development team for their placement year. This is a hands-on programming position and would suit students with a passion for problem solving who are looking to enhance their skills from within a team of recognised professionals.

We offer an informal working environment based at our headquarters in Letchworth Garden City and would welcome enquiries from students who like the idea of working on cool stuff in an award-winning company.

This placement is designed not only to provide you with hands-on experience, but also to immerse you in the ethos of innovation. 

You will:

• Work directly with the top-tier audio technology used across prestigious venues worldwide.
• Collaborate with experts who are keen to share their knowledge and support your professional growth. 
• Contribute to projects that are at the leading edge of the audio industry.

We are searching for a student who is not only passionate about technology, but also eager to make a discernible impact in a fast-paced, innovation-driven environment. If you are seeking a placement that challenges you to apply your academic knowledge creatively and practically, we'd like to hear from you.

About Focusrite

Doing a 12-month placement at Focusrite is like becoming one of the family. A rapidly growing, global family. We’re focused on providing opportunities for everyone and anyone to enjoy creating music.

Our placements are very popular, and that’s mainly because you can really get stuck in during your year with us. We don’t ask you to answer the phones and do the photocopying. We want you to help develop our products, market our brands, speak to our customers and make us better. A lot of our previous placements candidates are now full-time employees.

All placements last for 12-months. We pay you £23400 per year (£25643 for London-based roles), and you get to share some of the same benefits as our permanent employees.

Our eleven brands, Focusrite, Focusrite Pro, Novation, Ampify, ADAM Audio, Martin Audio, Optimal Audio, Linea Research, Sequential, Oberheim and Sonnox come together around a common mission to remove barriers to creativity.

We work hard. We are professional. And we play hard too. We select really, really talented and passionate people. And we absolutely love our work. So if you think you can bring something new to the mix, we look forward to hearing from you.

Please apply for as many of our placements as you wish.
