The boutique label and management firm Avant Garden has an in-house studio that needs an assistant engineer. The primary role will be helping the lead engineers directly during a project.

The job scope can include participating in recording sessions, setting up mics and patches, and working in Pro Tools (the listing specifically mentions editing vocals with Melodyne). It could also be logistical work like running errands, backing up files, and ensuring sessions run smoothly.

The artists on the roster are sizable enough that top-rated people will be working with them, but not so massive that the studio will feel corporate.
