IO Interactive is seeking a talented Senior Audio Programmer to join our team on our backbone team. We are currently working on two exciting game projects: Project 007 and Project Fantasy. Project 007 is a brand-new James Bond video game featuring an entirely original Bond story, and Project Fantasy is an ambitious new IP for console and PC that will revolutionize the online fantasy RPG genre.

  • Design and implement audio features and tools for our bespoke engine, Glacier. You will work in-engine, improving, prioritizing and optimizing and runtime code that executes the game.
  • 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:

  • At least 5 years of work experience programming as a C++ programmer, preferably on 3D audio.
  • Experience with Wwise, FMod, or other audio middleware.
  • Experience writing runtime and memory-efficient code, debugging, and maintaining complex software systems.

Across our multiple studios, we’re working on several projects. Crucially though, we’re all one team.
