With a passion to deliver high-end cinematic games, Supermassive Games is carving a unique and exciting path in the games industry. Want to join us on the journey?

The role:

Working as part of the central audio team you will contribute to multiple projects in development at Supermassive Games. Your responsibilities will include:

• Using in depth knowledge of Unreal Engine and Wwise to design, implement, and maintain audio tools, systems and pipelines.
• Collaborating with sound designers to help realise their creative vision by creating bespoke tools as well as offering support and advice when existing tools can be leveraged to a new situation.
• Working closely with other disciplines to achieve the highest quality player experience possible.
• Producing code that is based on high standards of readability, reliability and maintainability.

What we're looking for:

• Expert in C++ - you’ve got strong experience in C++, and have contributed to shipped games on PC, console or mobile.
• Creative Passion for Audio – you love audio and you’re always thinking of ways to push the creative and technical boundaries of what is possible, aiming to create world-class audio without sacrificing runtime performance.
• Great Communicator - you can talk about your work. You’ll be as comfortable specifying a task with sound designers as you are collaborating on a codebase shared with engineers across multiple projects.
• Practical - you have an instinct for what level of engineering is needed, and you can work efficiently at any level. Working centrally in a studio working in multiple projects requires the ability to distinguish between an idea which requires a rapid prototype to quickly test its feasibility, or a mission-critical system which needs detailed planning and consultation across multiple teams.
• Passion for Games - you’ve probably been playing games forever. You understand an engaging player experience and are confident reproducing it in code. 

We'd be especially impressed by:

• Experience shipping games on console or PC. Detailed knowledge of SDK and technical requirements of Sony PlayStation, Microsoft Xbox or high-end Windows PC.
• Unreal Engine. Experience of using and extending the editor and runtime of Unreal Engine.
• Reascript, Python and C#. Experience using scripting languages to streamline workflows.
• A breadth of previous audio experience. Knowing how sound designers work, and audio “language” is always helpful.

Why join us?

• Quarterly Profit-related Bonus Scheme
• 25 days annual leave
• Pension and life assurance
• Social events - including large summer party
• Constantly improving tools and workflow so you can focus on creativity
• Fast decision-making allows good ideas to flourish
• We celebrate and nurture talent
• Our supportive, inclusive and friendly team culture is something we are proud of
• Work-life balance is something we respect and protect
• Ultimately, you’ll work on the cutting edge - making innovative and immersive games
