It was recently voted the #1 place to live in America for the third year in a row — based on affordability, job prospects, and quality of life.

  • Identify technical audio requirements to the Engineering team and assure they’re met
  • Integrate sound design into the development process, creating a collaborative relationship that fosters quality and a healthy work environment
  • Maintain the audio budget and partner with the Production team to align audio planning with the rest of the project
What You’ll Bring
  • 8+ years in audio production at a senior level on multiple AAA games
  • Deep understanding of game audio technology
  • Musical knowledge as a producer, composer, and/or musician
  • Solid foundation in audio equipment setup and usage
  • Ability to manage budgets, contracts, schedules, and production for both internal and external audio teams and vendors
  • Experience with composers, soundtrack recording, and production
