Audio Editor / Engineer for a Podcast Post-Production Agency

We want an audio person who actually hears things other people miss. Someone who notices the aircon hum before anyone mentions it, who can't leave a plosive alone, who knows the difference between a recording that's fixed and one that's merely quieter. If you get satisfaction out of rescuing a terrible recording and making it sound like it was meant to be that way, keep reading. If audio to you means running a noise reduction preset and exporting, this isn't the role.

Audio is the foundation of everything we make. A podcast can survive average video. It cannot survive bad audio. That's why this is a specialist seat and not something we bolt onto a video editor's job.

You'll do some video work too, and we want you comfortable there. But we're hiring you for your ears.

This Role Is Right For You If You:

  • Have genuinely good ears, and you trust them
  • Get a kick out of restoration work: pulling a usable take out of a rough recording
  • Know your way around Reaper and work fast in it
  • Understand that clean, natural, and consistent beats heavily processed every time
  • Care about the details nobody thanks you for: breaths, plosives, room tone matching, level consistency
  • Can work quickly without letting quality slip
  • Are organised with files, versions, and sessions
  • Communicate clearly in English, written and spoken
  • Are a fast learner and happy picking up new tools
The Right Person Will:
  • Be excellent at podcast and dialogue audio. Editing, cleanup, levelling, mixing. You can take multiple speakers recorded in different rooms on different gear and make them sound like one cohesive conversation.
  • Know Reaper well. This is our DAW. If you're strong in another DAW and genuinely keen to move across, tell us, but you'll need to get up to speed fast.
  • Know iZotope RX properly. Not just the presets. We want someone who understands what each module is actually doing and when not to use it. Spectral repair, de-noise, de-reverb, mouth de-click, dialogue isolate. This is a big deal for us.
  • Have restraint. Over-processed audio is worse than lightly processed audio. You know when to stop.
  • Understand loudness and delivery standards. LUFS targets, true peak, and why they matter for podcast platforms.
  • Be able to handle video too. Cutting, syncing, basic assembly. You don't need to be a colourist, but you should be capable and willing on the video side.
  • Be a self-starter who manages their own time and hits deadlines without chasing.
  • (Bonus) DaVinci Resolve, especially Fairlight
  • (Bonus) Music editing, sound design, or mixing beyond dialogue
  • (Bonus) Experience with multitrack remote recordings (Riverside, Zencastr, and similar)
  • (Bonus) Photoshop or basic design skills
  • (Bonus) A genuine interest in podcasts
What You'll Do

Audio (the core)

  • Edit full podcast episodes: cuts, pacing, removing mistakes and dead air, keeping conversations tight and natural
  • Clean up problem recordings: noise, reverb, hum, clicks, plosives, inconsistent levels
  • Mix multi-speaker episodes so everyone sits properly against each other
  • Master to podcast delivery standards, consistently, every episode
  • Integrate intros, outros, music beds, and sound effects
Video (secondary)
  • Sync audio to video and assemble episodes
  • Support the video team on cuts and basic edits when needed
Quality & Workflow
  • Review your own work carefully before it ships. Listen on more than one set of speakers.
  • Keep sessions and files organised to our standards
  • Flag source problems early rather than quietly absorbing them
Technical Requirements (Must Have)
  • Strong Reaper skills (or another DAW plus a real willingness to switch)
  • Real iZotope RX experience
  • Solid grasp of dialogue editing, mixing, and mastering for podcasts
  • Understanding of loudness standards (LUFS, true peak)
  • Decent monitoring: headphones you trust, and ideally speakers too
  • A powerful computer (we'll ask for your specs)
  • Fast, reliable internet (we'll ask for a speed test)
  • Comfortable with Google Drive, Dropbox, and cloud workflows
Perks
  • Hours: Australia time (AEST) with good overlap for the Philippines (PHT), flexible within a collaborative window
  • Time off: Flexible leave with reasonable notice
  • Growth: Advancement, raises, and bonuses for consi
