Are you all about sound, immersion and gaming? Do you enjoy using your programming and mixing skills to enable teams in creating aural experiences? Do you also have a strong sense of what makes a particular game sound good from a creative point of view? Great!

We are working on a high-profile, competitive FPS and want an open-minded and collaborative Lead Audio Software Engineer to join our squad.

Oh, and we put hybrid work first.

• Work from our office in Stockholm (Södermalm)? That works for us!
• Work remotely from anywhere in Sweden? If that suits you.
• Work some days at the office and some days remote? Absolutely!

The quest

We are well on our way with our current title ALARA Prime, which was revealed (pre-alpha) just this July!

Your input will be important for our shared goal - Creating an awesome gaming experience for the players in our ongoing FPS project.

You'll be leading our audio crew (2 peers) and collaborate cross-functionally with people from different crafts. As our new Lead Audio Software Engineer, you will divide your time between leading the audio group, working with audio designers to refine the game’s overall sound, and doing some hands-on software engineering in C++. All this is done in tight collaboration with the rest of the team.

Sounds like a fun ride? Well, it is!

The project:

ALARA Prime is our competitive multiplayer FPS with a twist. Here you can find out what the game is all about on our ALARA Prime page, YouTube, and at https://www.playalara.com/

What about relocation?

If you're an EU citizen authorized to work in Sweden, we're all for it! We handle relocations on a case-by-case basis but will be able to assist with the most important part, which is finding a home for you. Unfortunately, we don't have the capability to offer work-permit solutions for non-EU citizens at the moment, something we hope to be able to provide as we grow in the future.
