A bolt of lightning is less impressive without a clap of thunder. A flash is lost without a bang. As a Sound Designer, you complete the equation that marries visual to audio.

Bungie needs a seasoned audio artist to add sound to our fury. This is a unique opportunity to join an audio team that has revolutionized the way sound effects, music, and dialogue are merged into the visceral experience of playing a game.

With the uncertainty and rapidly changing circumstances surrounding COVID-19, most positions at Bungie are expected to onboard and work from home for a significant portion of 2021. In 2022, most Bungie employees will adopt a flexible schedule working from home part time (outside of positions identified as either 100% onsite or fully remote in WA & CA). Currently only a select range of positions are available for full-time remote work in WA & CA (please review location for details). Prospective employees located outside of CA & WA will need to establish WA state residency within 45 days of a start date. Bungie’s work from home, flexible work schedule, and remote policy is subject to change at the company’s discretion.
