About Us:

SoundHound delights millions of users every day with its famously fast 
music and voice recognition apps, and is winning awards and praise along 
the way. Our flagship app for iPhone and Android recently won the most 
competitive category in Billboard's inaugural Music App Awards, and 
achieved top-ten honors from the New York Times, becoming the only music 
app to do so.

"Insane" - The New York Times' David Pogue

"...could save your sanity" - Don Lemon, CNN

At SoundHound you'll be joining a diverse, world-class group of 
engineers, scientists, designers, and marketers on a team that includes 
both recent grads and seasoned veterans. Our strongest academic ties are 
with Stanford, and prior industry stops for our team members include 
Google, Amazon, Oracle, Sony, Apple, and Pandora.

SoundHound not only builds killer apps but also the industry leading 
core technologies powering these apps. If you've worked on core

each other.
