Senior Principal Audio Designer at Frontier

Are you ready to shape the soundscapes of world-class gaming experiences? At Frontier, we are an independent developer and publisher known for our iconic creative management simulations. We pride ourselves on building immersive, authentic worlds that captivate players across the globe. Based in the vibrant tech hub of Cambridge, our team is currently looking for a talented Senior Principal Audio Designer to help us nurture our existing portfolio and bring our ambitious future roadmap to life.

Role at a glance

This is a full-time, senior-level position focused on the creative and technical direction of our game audio. You will work from our studio in the United Kingdom, with the flexibility to choose between a full in-studio arrangement or a hybrid schedule that requires at least three days per week on-site. If you are not currently local, we offer a comprehensive relocation support package to help you make the move.

Your impact

• Take full ownership of complex audio assets, ensuring they align perfectly with the overall creative vision of our games.
• Act as a bridge between departments by facilitating cross-discipline collaboration and managing project bottlenecks to keep feature delivery on track.
• Provide mentorship and guidance to junior team members while occasionally managing smaller teams or specific feature areas to elevate our collective output.

What you'll need

• Extensive professional experience in game audio or a closely related sound design field.
• A proven track record of shipping multiple projects that required deep collaboration with other departments like animation and UI.
• Expert-level proficiency with DAWs, specifically Reaper, and a strong grasp of interactive audio systems.
• The ability to articulate a creative vision and inspire your peers to push the boundaries of user experience and audio quality.
• Bonus points if you have experience with Wwise middleware, a background in people management, or a genuine passion for Frontier’s library of games.
