Job description

About the Company:
Founded in 2017 by Anthony and Joe Russo, AGBO is an artist-led independent studio shaping the future of film and television. The Russo Brothers and AGBO have generated more than $7 billion at the global box office, including Avengers: Endgame. The studio's projects include Academy Award-winning Everything Everywhere All at Once, Netflix hits The Gray Man and Extraction, and Prime Video's visceral thriller The Bluff and the global Citadel franchise. Citadel Season 2 premieres in May 2026.
AGBO is currently in production with Netflix on Tygo and Mercenary, both part of the Extraction universe, as well as with Lionsgate on John Rambo, a prequel to the iconic franchise. The studio is in post-production on The Whisper Man, starring Robert De Niro, and Avengers: Doomsday, which will be released December 18, 2026. AGBO will begin shooting Avengers: Secret Wars later this year. Both upcoming Avengers films are directed by Anthony and Joe Russo and co-produced by AGBO and Marvel Studios.
In 2023, AGBO welcomed Donald Mustard-former Chief Creative Officer at Epic Games and co-creator of Fortnite-as a partner. Mustard brings a bold creative vision to AGBO: to expand what storytelling can be through immersive, interconnected worlds that span across media. We're building the future of storytelling-and we're looking for bold, creative minds to help shape it. If you're ready to help define what comes next, we'd love to meet you. Position Summary: AGBO is looking for an Audio Director to set the creative and technical bar for audio across games - building signature SFX, shaping dialogue and music, and solving implementation problems in-engine. You'll partner directly with game directors to make sure audio drives story and gameplay feel, and you'll define the pipelines and stands that scale as our slate grows.
Key Responsibilities:
  • Own the end-to-end audio vision for interactive projects from pre-production through ship
  • Collaborate with game directors, narrative designers, and production teams to ensure audio supports gameplay, story, and pacing
  • Define the audio team's core tools, workflows, and technical standards so the team can work efficiently and consistently as the company and project scales
  • Own the implementation of audio in-engine in close partnership with programmers and engineers
  • Manage relationships with external audio studios and freelance sound designers
  • Set and manage audio budgets, schedules, and resourcing
  • Establish and evolve audio pipelines, tools, and best practices that scale
  • Set and uphold quality bars for mixing, spatial audio, and platform-specific audio requirements
  • Represent audio in cross-departmental creative reviews
  • Stay current with industry trends and emerging tools in game audio, spatial/ immersive sound and adaptive music
  • Perform all other duties as assigned

Qualifications & Skills:
  • 5-8 years of professional audio design experience, with a strong portfolio of shipped projects
  • Deep proficiency with audio middleware (Wwise, FMOD, MetaSounds) and DAWs (pro tools, Reaper, or similar)
  • Strong understanding of Unreal Engine and how audio integrates with real-time systems
  • Excellent collaboration and communication skills
  • Reel or portfolio demonstrating range across sound design and music integration

Additional Information:
  • Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the U.S.
