Summary

This Sound Effects Designer position is responsible for the creation of sound effects (SFX) and music for the project. Initially, sound effects will be generated entirely by the candidate, but later one, third-party solutions may be pursued if scale is needed, and music can be sourced to the most appropriate vendor. The candidate will also work directly with programmers and designers to implement sound mechanisms needed for playback, data structures, and will be instrumental (with the Game Director) to fulfill the desired soundscape for the project. To be clear, however, we are looking for a creative person that can create original sound effects at a “Hollywood” level of richness and depth.

The ideal candidate will have experience creating sound effects for large projects and a background in sound engineering or music composition. Additionally, a candidate with a BA in a pertinent field is appreciated.

Sound asset portfolios must be presented for review before the interview is scheduled.
