• Have a "put the end result first" mindset, and an ability to adapt methods to deadlines.
• Have a strong ability to be self-directing and work independently.
• Be proficient in Audiokinetic Wwise. There will be a test in a later round .
• Be able to adapt to an established Wwise structure and sound design style (for our existing game; "GTFO").
• Be able to shape and organize a sound design direction from scratch (for our future projects).
• Be collaborative and have a strong ability to communicate with other dev team members.
