About the Role
We’re looking for a Game Audio Designer / Sound Designer with strong Unity and FMOD implementation skills. This is not a pure composition role — you must be comfortable building, integrating, and testing audio systems directly inside Unity, working closely with designers and programmers.
You’ll be responsible for creating high‑quality sound effects, implementing them through FMOD, and ensuring they behave correctly in‑game across multiple platforms.
Responsibilities
• Create and design high‑quality SFX (UI, gameplay, ambience, Foley, impacts, etc.)
• Build and maintain FMOD events, including parameters, snapshots, routing, and mixing.
• Integrate FMOD events into Unity using the FMOD Unity integration.
• Implement audio triggers, states, and logic (collisions, animation events, gameplay systems).
• Work with programmers to ensure correct audio behaviour across platforms.
• Optimise audio memory, streaming, and performance budgets.
• Create and maintain audio documentation and naming conventions.
• Test audio in‑game and iterate based on feedback.
Required Skills & Experience
• FMOD Studio (intermediate–advanced): events, parameters, buses, mixing, snapshots.
• Unity (intermediate): event hooking, prefabs, animation events, scripting integration.
• Strong sound design skills with a solid portfolio.
• Experience implementing audio in shipped or near‑shipped games.
• Understanding of audio optimisation for consoles and PC.
• Ability to work independently and communicate clearly.
Bonus Skills
• Experience with cross‑platform audio behaviour (Switch, PlayStation, Xbox).
• Knowledge of C# for basic audio triggers or debugging.
• Experience with adaptive music systems.
• Familiarity with FMOD command instruments, sustain points, and cue markers.
• Experience with middleware profiling tools (FMOD profiler, Unity profiler).
Pay: £25,000.00-£50,000.00 per year
Education:
• Bachelor’s (preferred)
Experience:
• Unity: 2 years (required)
• Fmod: 2 years (required)
Language:
• English (required)
Location:
• United Kingdom (preferred)
