What you will do

• Create the sonic identity for a bright, relaxing island-world casual game.
• Compose the main theme, seamless gameplay loops, and short stingers for level-ups, completions, and story moments.
• Produce a core sound-effects library covering UI, menus, item interactions, rewards, currencies, building, decorating, customer orders, and ambience.
• Design progression-based feedback sounds and variations for frequently repeated interactions.
• Deliver clean loops, consistent loudness, clear naming, and formats and compression suitable for web and mobile.
• Apply agreed revision rounds based on the brief, references, and in-game review.

Requirements

• Portfolio of shipped games demonstrating both music and sound-effects creation.
• Experience with casual, mobile, or web games and tactile feedback for the genre.
• Strong ear for warm, light-hearted styles such as acoustic, playful orchestral, or relaxed tropical music.
• Proven delivery of game-ready audio, including seamless loops, variations, consistent loudness, and mixes suitable for small speakers.
• Experience working within file-size and memory budgets, including compressed web and mobile formats.
• Ability to turn written briefs and reference tracks into finished audio within agreed revision rounds.
• Clear written English and reliable asynchronous communication.
• Original work is required; samples must be cleared, AI tool usage must be disclosed, and music must be free of collecting-society claims.
• Willingness to sign an NDA and grant exclusive, unlimited, worldwide usage rights through a full buyout.

Nice to have

• Experience with merge, match-3, decoration, or other casual puzzle games.

• Familiarity with Facebook Instant Games or browser audio constraints such as autoplay rules.

Culture & Benefits
