You will use your skills and experience in game audio to help shape the sound of Fable. As a key member of the audio team, you’ll be given ownership of a significant portion of the game’s audio. Working alongside the Lead Audio Designer and other audio team members, you’ll design systems, source, record, and create sound effects, and implement audio in our in-house engine, ForzaTech. We have dedicated teams working on music and dialogue, so you get to focus on creating great sounds. You’ll also be an embedded member of a workstream where you’ll collaborate with other developers from multiple disciplines, acting as a strong advocate for audio, and being a creative voice in discussions and reviews. You’ll have the opportunity to put your stamp on a key part of a unique and memorable gaming experience.
As a team player, you’ll be keen to share your knowledge and ideas and grow your own expertise, helping develop those around you, mentoring more junior staff members while building your own leadership skills. The successful applicant will learn and adapt their workflows to our bespoke inhouse tools – and of course help shape how these tools empower us to keep making better audio.

You’ll have the use of incredible facilities here at Playground, with a plethora of kit, as well as opportunities for field/location recording, and beautiful multi-channel audio rooms for asset creation and mixing.
