Senior Audio Designer

Do you often find yourself thinking about the sound of a movie rather than focusing on the actual movie? Is your attention drawn to ways of how to improve the audio of the games you play, that you believe would have made the overall experience even more engaging?

As a Senior Audio Designer you will be part of the team for our unannounced, ambitious AAA project. Together with a mix of industry veterans and new talent, we are working on an action-packed, multiplayer, open-world game.

The audio team at Sharkmob is passionate about all things audio and games; we are always pushing ourselves to innovate. The work we do involves both creative and technical aspects, and is benefited by the state-of-the-art sound studios we have at our disposal.

You will be joining a friendly team of Audio Designers, Audio Programmers and Audio Director, and will have the opportunity to make a significant contribution to the sound of our upcoming game.

Your work will involve both design and implementation of sound, helping to set the tone for the game and make everything come together! Here is a chance to make an impact and not only create a game but build a company and make your voice heard.
