Horizon Productions is looking for a strong Audio professional who is passionate about sound to join our Sound Design Team. If you have experience in location recording and sound design, and have the skills to capture excellent sound regardless of the environment, we’d like to hear from you.

Horizon offers an incredible, open, laid-back work environment, where we reward and foster the creative spirit. Join our talented team and become part of the business that has 40+ years of creating video, multimedia, virtual reality and augmented reality and interactive experiences.

A team player who is passionate about capturing field audio and has experience in recording sound in a wide variety of settings (location, studio, etc.). Applicants should have at least 5 years of experience working as part of a production team and be familiar with lavs, shotgun mics, wireless systems, and HDD recorders. You must also have experience interfacing with multiple video cameras. Capturing clean audio is always the number one priority and as part of the team, when you’re not running audio, you’ll be helping set up and tear down other production gear. You’ll also interact with our clients on a pretty regular basis, so client skills are a must.

In addition to capturing audio, this position will also assist the Senior Sound Designer with sound editing and audio mixing for a wide variety of projects including videos, animations, virtual reality and augmented reality experiences. Horizon has been leading the way in creating amazing VR experiences with spatial audio and you’ll have the opportunity to learn editing/mixing for VR. Solid Pro Tools skills are mandatory. Familiarity with Unreal is a plus and Mac/PC experience is definitely preferred. Musicality a definite bonus. Having a passion for creative audio is a must.

Horizon Productions is a fun, innovative, full-service media production company filled with creative folks who create high-end video, audio, motion graphics, virtual reality, augmented reality (VR/AR) and various interactive experiences for our wide range of clients. We are a pioneering team that strives to provide excellent customer service in all we do.

This will be a highly flexible, variable & ongoing remote contract, in the range of 5-20 hours a week. We work with small teams on a wide range of interesting games. Whilst there will be room for you to learn new things, this is a role for an experienced audio designer.

The only requirement is that your time zone is close to ours. We’re largely based in the UK, so if you aren’t within UTC -2 to +2, you are much less likely to be considered.

A technical game audio generalist will be a great fit; experience of the following is essential:

• Designing original sound assets for a wide range of styles
• Implementing audio via middleware (particularly FMOD Studio)
• Integrating audio into game engines (particularly Unity)
• Designing and implementing dynamic music
• Working closely with programmers
• Light coding (C in particular)
• Designing tonal audio – a musical ear is critical
• Editing sound recording sessions
• Capturing and organising game footage
• Designing and syncing audio to linear media
• Self-organising tasks and asset tracking; AKA spreadsheets

Beyond that, experience with any combination of the below should absolutely be noted in your application, but is not required:

• Shipping games!
• Wwise
• Unreal, GameMaker & Godot
• Reaper

If you are interested, please complete this form.

Please read the form carefully, answering any questions exactly as described.

Applications close on Friday 26th October

• This is not a composer’s role. I cannot stress this enough; if your website brands you heavily as a composer, or you have limited experience with sound design and audio implementation, then this role is not for you.
• In any large text boxes, please use line breaks/paragraphs to space out your text. Google Sheets does not play well with long sentences.
• If you are successful, the next step will be a casual remote interview, but I may also require you to take a short paid audio test.

Thanks for taking an interest!
