Job Description

Love records? Come help make them! Every vinyl record begins as a lacquer, and what turns that one-of-a-kind disc into a thousand copies a fan can hold is a nickel stamper, grown in a plating bath, finished by hand, and held to a tolerance you can hear. If you have ever pulled a record out of its sleeve and wondered how the grooves got there, this is the job where you find out.

Disc Makers has been helping independent artists release physical music since 1946. We are building out our vinyl plating department and hiring detail-oriented people to run it. No plating experience required — we will train you on a craft that very few people in the country know how to do.
