  • Work on audio development and systems: workflows, tooling and developing audio systems, by both working individually but also in collaboration with our Audio Programmer. Ex: propagation system, reverb, early vs late reflections etc.
  • Maintain, optimize and improve existing systems.
  • Work closely with sound designers to help them create top-notch audio experience.

 

Who you are:

  • Work experience as an audio programmer (C++).
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering or related.
  • Experience writing runtime and memory-efficient code, debugging, and maintaining complex software systems.
  • Familiarity or understanding of game engines, gameplay programming concepts, audio, and audio content creation.
