Who are we?
We’re Sandbox VR, and we’re the most advanced virtual reality experience in the world. Inside our rooms, we take you on thrilling adventures and transform you into new characters. Our experience is like the movies, except you’re actually with your friends inside the movie.

Our team is comprised of successful start-up veterans with deep experience in VR, gaming, technology and hospitality. We’re funded by leading global tech investors including Andreessen Horowitz and Alibaba.

Since we launched in 2017, we’re now live in 6 locations and 4 countries around the world (4.5 stars on Yelp, and the #1 Activity in Hong Kong and Singapore on TripAdvisor), and we’re quickly expanding.

What you’ll be doing
You will be responsible for the sound effects, mixing, VO management and music integration for all of our VR experiences and work with our Audio Director and engineers to create incredible audio which immerses our guests even deeper into our VR experiences. If it sounds exciting to work with cutting edge technology and make your mark on the VR industry, this might be the right role for you!

Sound Designing, Editing and Mixing – Your main focus is creating the audio for our experiences. You will create top-quality sound assets which immerse the player into the experience and provide excellent gameplay feedback. You will integrate the sound assets into the game and be responsible for the sound mix in order to create compelling audio for each experience. You will work together with directors to gain a strong understanding of the mechanics, narrative, and visuals so that you can design audio which benefits each experience.

Voice Overs – You are also going to be responsible for casting Voice Over talent, sourcing external studios, directing Voice Over recording sessions, editing and mastering the voice recordings and implementing these recordings into each experience. You will also be called upon to assist with voice localization.

Inventing and Collaborating – At Sandbox VR we are pushing VR technology to the next level and we believe audio is going to be a big part of that. Every day we are forging new ground and doing things that have never been done before. You will use your skill-set and work together with programmers to experiment with new techniques and ideas for how to use audio in our VR experiences. You also determine the best third-party audio plugins and tools to use with our unique technology.

Who We Are Looking For 

• A Sound Professional – You insist on the highest quality audio, your sound design is powerful and emotive, you are a pro at mixing and mastering techniques and are a natural at using audio plugins.
• Tech Savvy – You are a creative first, but you have a strong understanding of the technical side of sound design and can use various tools to achieve the best results. You will need to understand spatial audio and use tools to make your sounds feel like they come from identifiable positions in 3D. If you can program or script effectively, this is also a plus.
• Risk Mitigation – You proactively foresee issues and needs before they occur so you can plan ahead strategically and ensure the final delivery of sound assets/mix/voice is of the highest quality.
• Organized – You work efficiently and are meticulous about keeping files well-organized and consistent with naming conventions.
• Good Communicator – Excellent verbal and written communication skills. Must be self-driven, a team player and have a willingness to learn.
• Game Audio Middleware Experience – You are experienced with Wwise or Fmod.
• Solution-Oriented – You are resourceful, a creative problem solver and who can use your skills and experience to solve issues with existing sound assets, or find ways to record sounds as needed. 

How You Can Really Impress Us 

• If you have composed music for games or other media
• Unity experience
• Experience with version control such as Git
• If exploring possibilities of VR Audio technology is exciting for you and you’re eager to use your skills to push this industry forward. If you have given talks at games/VR industry shows or written articles about your craft, this is a great way you can demonstrate your understanding to us.
• If you’ve already had the chance to work on VR projects, either professionally or as a hobby, even better.
