Job Description - Sound Designer

Job Overview:

We are looking for an experienced Sound Designer to work on cinematic content created for OTT platforms and television, including projects for platforms like Netflix and Prime Video. Our productions are built around strong storytelling, emotion, and immersive viewing experiences. We are looking for someone who understands how sound can completely transform a scene—from building atmosphere and anticipation to making emotional moments feel more powerful.

What We're Looking For

We are specifically looking for candidates with professional filmmaking experience who have previously worked as a Sound Designer on:

● Movies

● TV series

● Documentaries

● OTT/web series (Netflix, Prime Video, and similar platforms)

● High-quality cinematic productions

You should have a strong understanding of cinematic sound design, storytelling, pacing, atmosphere, and emotion through sound.

Experience Required

● Minimum 3+ years of qualified experience in sound design

● Prior experience working on OTT platforms (such as Netflix, Prime Video), films, TV series, or cinematic productions

● A strong portfolio/showreel demonstrating previous sound design work

● Experience designing sound for dramatic, narrative, or high-production-value content is highly preferred

Key Responsibilities

● Create complete sound design for long-form OTT and television productions

● Build cinematic atmospheres using ambience, Foley, sound effects, transitions, impacts, risers, and other sound elements

● Enhance emotion, pacing, and storytelling through sound

● Work closely with video editors and the production team to understand the creative vision of every project

● Ensure dialogue, music, ambience, and SFX work together naturally

● Create immersive soundscapes without overpowering the narration or story

● Maintain consistency and high-quality audio throughout the production

● Handle sound cleanup, balancing, layering,



and final sound polish where required

● Understand when not to use sound and allow silence to strengthen important moments

Skills We Value

● Excellent storytelling instincts

● Strong understanding of cinematic sound design

● Foley and ambience creation

● SFX editing and layering

● Dialogue editing and audio cleanup

● Music and sound balancing

● Understanding of pacing and emotional build-up

● Attention to very small audio details

● Ability to take creative feedback and make revisions quickly

● Strong understanding of professional sound-design workflows and software

Who This Role Is For

● This role is ideal for someone who doesn't simply add sound effects to a video but understands how filmmakers use sound to tell a story.

● We want someone who can watch a scene and instinctively understand:

● What should the audience hear? What should they feel? And how can sound make that moment more powerful?
