Guitar, amplifier and pro audio maker with growing direct-to-consumer focus
Fender designs and manufactures guitars, amps, pro audio and digital music products across brands like Squier, Gretsch and Jackson. Its stack pairs SAP, BlackLine and Logility on the back office with Shopify and Contentful for commerce, and C++, JUCE and Qt for audio software. Job-post pain points cluster on online conversion and DTC revenue, while China-facing tools (WeChat, Weibo, Douyin) and slowing, manufacturing-led hiring point to an efficiency push across global markets.
