Ability to work autonomously in a fast‑paced environment, managing multiple tasks simultaneously and meeting tight deadlines.

Demonstrable portfolio of sound design and mixing work across various types of content.

A passion for storytelling through sound and a hunger to create some cool sh*t.

A sharp ear for detail and high quality control standards on final deliveries.
