Summary（岗位介绍）
Meta is looking for a Sound Design Manager to join our award-winning team. Our Sound Design team consists of 100+ audio experts who design the experiences that connect people through the power of sound. A shift is underway—from traditional 2D music to spatial music—that opens a world of opportunity in how music is created and experienced. Spatial music represents a new paradigm of music production and consumption and our Sound Design team is starting to explore how it might be used in the Metaverse.
This role has a strong focus on people-management, team building, and tactical decision making. It also allows for hands-on sound design, implementation, and production work, and features a long runway for innovation, creativity, and strategic thinking.
In this role, you will manage a team that creates the sound designs for avatars and Horizon Worlds, a free, online virtual reality game where you can explore, play and create. You will manage a team of 4-6 sound designers and will be focused on virtual reality work in the Metaverse.
