This role requires hands-on, full-cycle experience from development through launch, with a mandatory proficiency in and completion of Soulslike genre games.

What You'll Do

Create core in-game sound assets and deliver high-quality sound design.
Collaborate with the Sound Director, composers, and other sound designers to progress work.
Design sound systems and implement interactive audio using Unreal Engine and Wwise.

5+ years of experience in game sound design and implementation, or equivalent skill level.
Full-cycle development and launch experience on AAA or AA game projects, or participation in media projects of comparable scale.
Proficiency in sound implementation and system design using Wwise and Unreal Engine on shipped projects.
Deep understanding of the Soulslike genre and experience completing several key Soulslike titles.
A strong sense of responsibility, flexible communication to foster a positive team atmosphere, and a teamwork-first attitude over personal achievement.
Ability to explain complex technical issues to non-audio disciplines (design/programming) clearly and propose reasonable alternatives.
Capability to calmly prioritize and respond when deadlines are imminent or plans change abruptly.
Understanding of next-generation console audio features and performance.
Portfolio submission focused on sound production work and in-game implementation examples.
Submission of a list of Soulslike or action console games you have played.

Nice to Have
