About Sing One Song

Sing One Song is making music learning fun and easy - like Duolingo did for languages, starting with voice.

We’re building AI-powered vocal coaching in the form of games and challenges designed to teach songs. Our early playful experiences include:

• Vocal DNA Test - analyzes your voice and matches you to artists & songs
• **SingShot** - a rhythm game where your voice is the controller

Current online music learning tools are boring and intimidating for casual users. Our mission is to make singing accessible, fun, and habit-forming, and to use AI to create a million new singers.

The Role

We are looking for a Founding Game Designer to take us from 0 to 1. You will not just be designing levels; you will be inventing a new genre of gameplay where the human voice is the controller.

We are building "productive procrastination." Games that feel like Subway Surfers or Hades, but where the game world is procedurally generated by the song the user is learning. You will work directly with the founders to turn vocal / listening exercises into addictive arcade loops.

You’ll be one of the first hires, working closely with Jacob Singh (ex–Country Head, Acquia Drupal; ex–CPTO, Blinkit, former VC at Sequoia India & Alpha Wave Global).

What You Will Build

• The Core Loop: You will design the primary game mechanic where a 3-minute run creates a "stealth learning" environment.
• Voice-First Mechanics: You will figure out how pitch controls aim (e.g., glides warming up a discus throw) and how volume controls physics (e.g., keeping a plane aloft).
• Procedural Worlds: You will design systems where the lyrics and MIDI score of a song generate the topography of the level—enemies, obstacles, and power-ups based on the song structure.

Responsibilities

• Understand beginners: This is the most important thing. Can you relate to someone starting out, what motivates them and what excites them to play/practice more.
• Make practice feel fun: Transform dry musical concepts (pitch accuracy, rhythm, breath control) into satisfying, "juicy" arcade interactions.
