About the role

As our Contract Composer, you'll be the architect of our game's sonic unease - blending ambient dread, tense build-ups, and haunting melodies to evoke the psychological and emotional depth that defines great horror.
You'll work closely with the design and audio teams to shape an evolving score that responds dynamically to player behavior and supports our story-first approach.
The ideal candidate will primarily serve as a composer, with the versatility to assist in sound effects creation and implementation when required.

Design adaptive music systems that respond to in-game actions and player choices.
Collaborate with the Game Director to establish the musical identity of the game.
Experiment with unconventional instruments, sound textures, and techniques to create unsettling soundscapes.
Deliver high-quality audio assets, including stems and variations for dynamic layering.
Support the audio team in creating sound effects, and various aspects of game audio.
A compelling portfolio or reel featuring original music and sound design, that stylistically matches the Poppy style - with horror, thriller, and liminal nostalgia.
Strong ability to tell stories through music and create emotional contrast through minimalism, dissonance, or ambient layers.

At least three years of experience in a Composer or Audio Designer role
Experience working on at least one released indie or commercial game.
Familiarity with Metasounds and a basic understanding of game implementation.
Experience with Unity or Unreal Engine.
Ability to work with both traditional composition and abstract/avant-garde soundscapes.
