10 Chambers is a fully funded scale-up game studio backed by Tencent and based in the beautiful city of Stockholm, Sweden. We are an ambitious, creative, and collaborative team with a lifelong love for games.

We are now working on our next project, a cooperative heist FPS in a sci-fi setting with techno-thriller vibes: Den of Wolves. The game is originated and directed by Ulf Andersson, the game designer of Payday the Heist & PAYDAY 2.

You will be responsible for all aspects of sound design in our productions: Designing, gathering, editing, processing and mixing sounds, as well as working with programmers to integrate the sound triggering and behavior in our games. You will also put sounds to – and mix – any trailers we create in-house.

You will work closely with other teams to ensure that the audio design lines up with the vision for the game as a whole. You will help create and maintain the sound design visions and systems for Den of Wolves.

• Full proficiency in Reaper.

• Be proficient in Audiokinetic Wwise and be able to adapt to an established Wwise structure

• Be collaborative and have a strong ability to communicate with other dev team members.
