About Us

Here at Skar Audio, we are looking for those who wish to be a part of building something truly extraordinary. We'd like to think that the company has a rarely found "home-grown" type of feel to it that you rarely see in a larger company. One where you can be heard, recognized for your contributions, and have a genuinely profound impact on shaping the future of the company. To this day, Skar Audio remains privately owned by the original founder, which affords the freedom of being able to move really fast, and prevents typical corporate bureaucracy from getting in the way day-to-day.

The company has extremely ambitious plans, and a proven track record of stability and success in our industry. Since inception, company revenues have double or tripled every year, with 2022 revenue exceeding $85M. The future has never looked brighter, and so as we continue to grow we are seeking talented individuals who want to help drive our mission forward.

The way people shop online has been changing for years, and we'd like to think as a direct-to-consumer, technology driven brand, we pride ourselves on being one step ahead of that change. If you are extremely passionate about what you do, and consider yourself to be a rockstar in your role, we'd love to hear from you.
