You'll have the opportunity to shape the sonic  landscape of our games and enhance player immersion through innovative sound design solutions.

What you’ll do

    • Empower Sound Designers by assisting them with Technical Challenges
    • Utilize your technical skills to troubleshoot and resolve audio-related issues, ensuring a high level of audio fidelity and performance
    • Design, implement and maintain complex audio systems, such as dynamic mixing, environmental effects, and spatial audio, to enhance player immersion
    • Work closely with feature teams to define technical requirements and constraints for audio implementation, ensuring alignment with game design goals
    • Playtest and iterate on audio implementations to achieve the desired emotional impact and gameplay feedback
    • Document and communicate best practices and technical guidelines for sound 

Who you are

    • Effective communication skills, with the ability to collaborate within cross-discipline teams and translate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders

Note: Research shows under-represented groups in the industry (especially women) might not apply to a job if they don’t check off every requirement. At Avalanche, we’re more about your drive to learn and interest in tackling challenges than what’s on your resume! So don’t stress if you don’t tick every box— shoot us your application anyway! Diverse opinions and different experiences are what make our teams so great, not itemized lists of qualifications.

The Stockholm location

It has everything you need to make it your creative base camp.
