- Perform sound editing, sound design, Foley, ambience creation, and audio layering
- Collaborate closely with editors, directors, and cinematographers to ensure sound aligns with visual storytelling
- Clean, enhance, and mix dialogue, background score, and sound effects
- Deliver broadcast-ready, cinematic audio mixes
- Understand narrative pacing and emotional beats from a filmmaker’s perspective
Required Skills & Experience

- Logic Pro (mandatory)
- Pro Tools / Ableton / similar DAWs (preferred)
- Strong understanding of:
- Cinematic sound design
- Film language & storytelling
- Audio for visual media
- Good understanding of cinematography and filmmaking workflows
- Ability to work independently and maintain high creative standards
Portfolio Requirements (Mandatory)
- Applicants must share a portfolio that includes:
- At least one documentary project
- Sound design work for films or short films
- Clear credit for sound design responsibilities
(Applications without a documentary in the portfolio will not be considered.)
What We’re Looking For

- Strong attention to detail and sound aesthetics
- Passion for storytelling through sound
- Someone who understands how sound can make or break a documentary
Why Join Us
- Work on high-quality, story-driven documentaries
