Wave’s mission is to unite humanity through immersive 3d entertainment.

No matter where or who you are, our platform welcomes you—joining on mobile, streaming a 2D social video, or immersing you in 3D VR. Virtual shows (“Waves”) are the heartbeat of our platform. Unlike other virtual experiences, Waves are unique because they happen live, enabling real-time interaction and connection between performers and audiences.

You can help us define the future of music! Together we'll create amazing experiences for the audience and performer. Your work as a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) will ensure the quality of our backend and infrastructure that power immersive, online, live music experiences. You will work directly with team members from our Cloud, DevOps, QA, and Operations teams.
