Sound Designer

Squanch Games is looking to grow our Audio Department. The ideal candidate should be passionate about pushing the boundaries of game audio, and excited about creating immersive worlds and interesting characters through sound. You will work closely with the Audio Director and other sound designers to define the sonic landscape of our games.

At Squanch Games, we make stuff that people love: games that we want to play ourselves. We make experiences that we would like to be totally immersed in and enjoy for hours at a time, as well as shorter, crazier experiences that would be great to play with a group of friends, or possibly with your grandmother who only comes over because she is afraid you'll starve to death if left to your own devices.

If you share these values, come join us!
