Technical Sound Designer — Bell Gardens, CA

About Us

At Mk7Xw5 yG9NS, we believe great game audio is built on great collaboration. Founded in 2012, we craft custom sound design and music for some of the world’s top games and interactive media experiences.

As a full-time team of 22 working together onsite, we put just as much care into our people as we do into our craft. We don’t work nights. We don’t work weekends. We don’t crunch. We also offer unlimited PTO and aim to create a studio environment you’ll genuinely love coming to.

About the Role

As a Technical Sound Designer, you’ll work to bring our sound design team’s creations to life in our games. Most of your time will be spent in audio middleware and game engines implementing content created by our design team, as well as building audio systems and mixing our projects.

This position is all about implementation and integration. If designing sounds in a DAW is what you love most, this probably isn’t the right fit. You may do a bit of that, but it’s not a focus of this role. We work extensively in Wwise and Unreal, and you should be comfortable writing code.

Responsibilities

• Set up Wwise and other audio middleware in new projects

• Integrate sound and music in Wwise, Unreal, Unity, and proprietary engines

• Create audio systems using Blueprints, C++, and C#

• Mix projects using middleware and in-engine tools

• Build internal tools and automations to support our workflows

• Troubleshoot and fix bugs reported internally and by clients

• Track tasks in JIRA and post daily progress updates

• Take on additional responsibilities as needed. We’re a tight-knit team and sometimes need you to lend a hand.

Qualifications

• 2+ years of experience in game development

• Experience working in Wwise and Unreal Engine

• Strong understanding of common game programming patterns

• Very comfortable with Perforce, Git, and source control platforms

• Fundamental C++ programming knowledge

• Attention to detail and organization

• Strong problem-solving ability

• A team-player mindset, with the ability to take direction and feedback from project leads
