🌸 Role Introduction 🌸

We are building a shiny, new, ambitious cozy game and would love to find an audio designer with a proven track record in creating thrilling, soothing and immersive game audio experiences.

If you are passionate about creating a magical and immersive soundscape like our first title, Wylde Flowers, then we would love to work with you!

Please note that this is not a music composition role — we already have a composer on board!

• Planning, concept and scheduling of all sound effects in the game, including ambient soundscapes, player interactions, cutscenes, UI feedback, and magical effects.
• Recording/sourcing of all required foley and editing into a consistent and appealing sound library.
• Implementing all sound events in FMOD, placing sources in our Unity scenes, and working with our animation and cutscene teams to bring cinematics to life.
• Coordinating with our music composer and code team to implement the interactive score.
• Advising and assisting with normalisation and EQ of voice over from our partner external recording studios.
• Designing and refining the overall mix and balance of all audio in the game, profiling and optimising CPU usage on our range of target platforms.

🌸 Our dream Sound Designer 🌸

• Loves every aspect of audio design, and has a passion for great design found in games and other media.
• Has a deep understanding of "cozy" games, builders or life simulation games.
• Believes in collaboration and loves working with a team to create the best possible visual effects by adapting to new ideas and feedback.
• Is able to work independently with people in significantly different time zones. Knowing when to reach out for help or advice but loves problem solving as well.
• Believes in kindness and support as a first step to any communication and practices both when giving feedback.

🌸 This is a full time, fixed-contract and permanently-remote-working position 🌸

• This position is 38 hours a week
  • Work around your family and personal commitments. 
  • Work any hours of the day and week that make sense for you. 
  • We generally communicate over Slack or email, with occasional voice/video chat when convenient.
• You will need to have some reasonable time zone overlap with both Melbourne and the US at the same time. We have a strict policy to not hire in Europe or any time zone where only night work would be possible to achieve that.
• We'll be trusting you to be self-motivated and able to manage your own time and workload; we won't be micromanaging your task list.

🌸 Salary 🌸

• $120,000 AUD ($85,000 USD) per annum
