SummaryBy Outscal

Mojang Studios is looking for a Sound Designer to join their team! You will be responsible for creating and implementing audio assets for their games. This role requires strong knowledge of modern audio equipment, recording techniques, and experience working with sound design in the games industry.

Mojang Studios is best known as the creators of Minecraft, but we’re also on a mission  to build a better world through the power of play. 

Why play? Well, play is at the heart of everything we do. It’s the blocky backbone of our games, the core of our development philosophy, and even the origin of our name. From the relentless experimentation of our endlessly inspiring community to the classrooms where Minecraft has become an essential teaching tool, play is the bedrock of our existence. 

We are looking for a Sound Designer to join our Audio team! As a Sound Designer within the Internal New Games team at Mojang, you will work with creating and implementing audio assets in a game, such as environments, mobs and more. You will also be collaborating with the game team to make sure that the audio in the game fits within the Minecraft brand. 

We value unique, high-quality sounds, which means that most of our audio assets are recorded by conducting field and studio recordings. In other words, if we need a dolphin sound - we go visit the dolphins! 

At Mojang Studios, we have a friendly and highly collaborative culture where you will be working with many other crafts to ensure that our players have the best experience possible when playing our games. Together with the sound team you will be making sounds for one of the biggest gaming franchises in the world, meaning you'll have an artistic responsibility in expanding the Minecraft universe. 

Your tasks will include:

· Contributing to all aspects of sound design. 

· Recording original sounds 

· Creating high quality audio assets for in-game use. 

· Implementing sound effects, sometimes in collaboration with an Audio Programmer. 

· Working under the leadership of an Audio Director and communicating and collaborating with leadership and project teams to implement a game’s auditory vision. 

· Communicating, collaborating and creatively working with everyone on the product, for example, game designers, artists, producers and developers. 

· Actively participating in planning, prioritization, time estimation, and pipeline development, and document your work and processes as needed. 

· A sense of fun and being able to think laterally - creating sounds, especially for the Minecraft universe, requires creativity and imagination 

· Creating the best audio experience for our players and on ensuring to follow creative visions and guidelines for Minecraft. 

We believe you have some of the following qualifications:

· Good knowledge of modern audio equipment, recording techniques, microphones and industry standard audio tools (Reaper, Wwise, Unreal Engine 5, plug-ins, middleware, hardware) 

· Experience working professionally with sound design in the games industry 

· Self-organized planning, problem solving and executing of daily tasks. 

· Tangible experience (such as shipped titles and personal body of work) related to the role. 

· Experience adapting and stylizing an auditory experience to fit a brand 

· Experience in field and studio recordings, as well as postproduction. 

· A well-developed artistic feeling and understanding. 

Valued skillsets:

· The team values inclusivity, diversity, transparency and collaboration – as you’ll be working closely with us, we hope you’ll feel the same way!

About The Company

Mojang Studios is a Microsoft-owned game studio based in Stockholm (Sweden) and Redmond (WA) with additional locations in London, Shanghai, and Tokyo as well as a partially remote workforce. We created Minecraft, the sandbox video game turned franchise that now includes two more games, novels, board games, apparel, and much more. 

We believe in the power of play and our mission is to build a better world through our work. At our studios, you’ll meet passionate and welcoming people with the same goal: to create games and products with a positive impact. Four core values guide everything we do:

 Fuel Passion.

 Minecraft encourages players to stay sharp and constantly evolve. We mirror that by bringing together enthusiastic people who are eager to innovate in their fields and giving them the resources to reach their goals. We’re passionate about our industry and strive to empower our employees and future generations of gaming professionals.

 Create Fun. 

We aim to create fun, enriching experiences for our players, whether they’re playing our games, learning in Minecraft Education, or discovering a new product. Thanks to our incredibly talented creator community and Minecraft Marketplace, the fun is virtually endless and there’s something for everyone in our blocky universe. 

Celebrate Creativity. 

Creativity is at the core of Minecraft, whether you’re making art in Creative mode or finding clever ways to get through the night in Survival mode. Fresh ideas, out-of-the-box thinking, and new perspectives are what allows us to evolve the franchise and keep surprising our players after more than a decade of Minecraft. 

Craft together. 

Minecraft welcomes everyone because we believe that we’re better together. Our players’ feedback and the work of our community creators have made Minecraft what it is today. To support collaboration in our studios, we’ve built comfy, connected spaces that allow our local and remote teams to work closely together.
