Senior Technical Sound Designer, Games Studio (Blue) at Netflix

Are you ready to shape the audio identity of a brand-new AAA game at Netflix Games Studio and help deliver an unforgettable experience to players around the world?

What you bring

We are looking for a Senior Technical Sound Designer to join our full-time remote team in the United States. In this role you will work with Unreal Engine, Python, Lua, and C# to build and maintain audio systems that support both the story and gameplay of our first-generation original titles. You will collaborate daily with the audio lead and the wider game team, turning creative ideas into playable, technically sound experiences.

• Conceptualize, prototype, and maintain audio systems that reinforce the game’s narrative and experiential goals.
• Edit, implement, and optimize a wide range of high-quality sound assets while profiling performance and resolving audio issues.
• Partner with external outsourcers, ensuring clear communication and consistent quality standards across all deliverables.

This position is fully remote and open to candidates located anywhere in the United States.

Requirements

The ideal candidate brings at least five years of experience as a Technical Sound Designer on high-quality, multi-platform games, along with deep expertise in Unreal Engine (including Blueprint), Wwise, and other industry-standard audio tools. You are fluent in visual programming and scripting languages, comfortable creating and optimizing UE Blueprints, and confident applying spatial audio and HDR mixing techniques. Strong communication skills, an inclusive mindset, and a collaborative approach are essential because we are a distributed team that values respect, integrity, and shared problem-solving. A portfolio that demonstrates technical sound-design work in games is expected; experience with interactive music systems, in-game acoustics, or engine-native tools such as UE Metasounds is a plus.

What we offer

The compensation range for this role is $90,000-$600,000 USD annually. In addition to salary, we provide a comprehensive benefits package that includes a 401(k) Retirement Plan with employer match, stock option program, health plans, mental health support, disability programs, health savings and flexible spending accounts, family-forming benefits, and life and serious injury benefits. Full-time salaried employees receive flexible time off immediately, while full-time hourly employees accrue 35 days of paid time off each year for vacation, holidays, and sick leave. We also offer paid leave of absence programs and remote-work flexibility.
