Description

We're looking for an experienced Sound Designer to join the Facepunch audio team and help shape the sonic landscape of Rust and our upcoming title, S&box. You'll be responsible for breathing life into our worlds with immersive, expressive, and dynamic sound.

We value curious, highly self-motivated individuals who excel both in teams and independently, and who readily respond to feedback. Your portfolio should focus on sound effects work, not music. We're seeking someone who manages their time effectively, takes initiative, and thrives when entrusted with responsibility.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement high-quality, artistically consistent audio assets for our games.
• Record, clean up, and design source material for our sound library.
• Manage your time and project scope to deliver stellar work alongside the rest of our team.

Requirements

• Strong sound design skills with an emphasis on video games or non-linear media.
• Strong knowledge of a DAW (Reaper preferred) and tools like iZotope RX.
• Strong understanding of game audio implementation.
• Ability to work creatively while maintaining sonic consistency with existing sounds.
• Ability to record and create source material to design future sounds from.
• Strong audio engineering, mixing, and mastering skills.
• Ability to work effectively with a team and incorporate creative feedback.
• Ability and desire to learn new tools, techniques, and systems.
• Ability to work in sprints and manage your time and priorities well.

Desirables

• Prior experience working on audio in the games industry or related audio fields (film sound, studio engineering, etc.).
• Familiarity with Facepunch games.
• Experience with the Unity and Source game engines.
• Programming experience (absolutely not a requirement!).
• Musical knowledge and ability.

Skills and competencies show up in different forms and can be based on different experiences, so we strongly encourage you to apply even if you don't have all the requirements listed above.
