At XLN you get a competitive benefits package, including insurance, pension, paid vacation, wellness support, preventive health insurance, and continuous learning opportunities. We work primarily on-site at our office in Stockholm, Sweden, with some possibilities of remote work.

It's a big plus if you have an active interest in music-making in some form, like playing instruments, DJ:ing or beat-making.

Our office has two complete music studios plus a jam room, perfect for labbing new product concepts or spontaneous playing with colleagues. And we have a ping pong table, of course.
