HIRING: Simmers S24+ - Canadice - 2026-02-18
Simmers
We are looking to increase the simmer team by up to four (4) simmers so that we can have on average two simmers per league (FM File). With the recent changes to the league structure, the SSL now uses 4 separate FM files for the Major, Minor, Cup and Academy leagues, allowing us to work in parallel in regards to simming. What this means is that we now have the following weekly workload:
- Tactic Deadlines for managers at noon Pacific / 15 Eastern / 21 CET on Mondays and Thursdays which is the earliest a simming session can start. With every tactic deadline there are between 2-4 sets of matchdays tied to it, see the SSL Calendar for a color coded example.
- The first set of matchdays tied to a tactic deadline premiere on Youtube the day after and have slightly shorter simming deadlines in order to allow for commentary and post production, around 12-15 hours after the tactic deadline.
- The second set of matchdays premiere at least 48 hours after the tactic deadline. What this means in practice is that there is a 36-39 hour window between the tactic deadline and the simmer deadline to record those, and the simmer of the first matchday of the set can most often technically start as early as the tactic deadline.
- The Academy runs on a similar system with tactic deadlines on Sunday and Wednesday with premieres on Monday and Thursday respectively. No commentary is usually scheduled for those so there exists essentially a 24 hour window to sim.
As you can see, most days have the ability to be available for some form of simming. An average simming session takes 0.75-1.5 hours including importing tactics and recording the matchdays.
The formal responsibilities include:
- Import tactics submissions to FM24
- Record games at least once a week via OBS or other equivalent software,
- Adhere to the Simming Guide
- Submit timestamps of the game order to production team.
It is a requirement that you own or are able to acquire FM24. All users of the SSL, including managers may apply to the position, as we are able to restrict access to tactic submissions on a league and divisional basis.
If you would like to apply for the position or have any questions, please message me on the forum or on Discord (Canadice). You may also message any other BoD member.
As part of your application we would like it to include at least the following points:
Code:
Forum/Discord username:
Player Name:
Which days of the week would you be available to record?
Do you have experience with OBS as a recording software?
Other random things you would like to add that are relevant to the application.Job pay is weekly PT Pass + $650k per matchday recorded.
We will be hiring continuously.
