Your work will have a direct and influential impact on the quality and feel of the game as well as help shape the future development of our Audio Department.

Requirements

• Experience working as a sound designer in the games industry with at least two shipped titles
• Knowledgeable of sound design and implementation as well as the stages game audio goes through from start to finish
• Experience with FMOD or similar audio middlewares
• Experience scripting game audio into a project
• Strong organizational skills, and experience working with cross-discipline teams

On a personal level, you’re a curious and creative sound designer, passionate about game audio. Your experience allows you to identify issues and solve problems quickly and effectively. You are comfortable using different DAW and audio tools (such as Pro Tools, Reaper, Cubase, SoundForge, iZotope Suite). You understand the need for being detail-oriented and structured, and you use those skills by documenting and streamlining processes while always maintaining the highest possible quality.

Some of our benefits include:
If you think that this description matches you, we highly encourage you to apply as soon as possible as we will interview candidates continuously. If you don’t match all the requirements, please demonstrate how your passion, attitude and interest in Paradox might compensate for this.

At Paradox Interactive we celebrate difference and care deeply about diversity and inclusion. We therefore encourage you, no matter who you are, to apply for this job if you think you’d be  a great addition to our team.
