With out any other context cues, I would think it's slang for "sounds like a nice gig" with gig being an expression for job. Musicians commonly call a performance a gig - caterers call an event a "gig" too (but it's always "an event" to the customers) ;)

"Gig" is a performer's (actor, singer, musician, comedian) expression meaning basically "job" or "contract". So if something "sounds like a nice gig", it appears to be a beneficial arrangement, i.e. good pay, good benefit package, good working condtions, nice people to work with, etc.

Gig means a public performance, a single night's performance(jazz or popular music) or to perform music in public. It also means, in AmE, a piece of work that you do for money, especially when you're self-employed.

A gig is a job, usually a show biz or music job.

It's slang for:
"Sounds like a great job to have"
"Sounds like a good show"
"Sounds like it will be a great time"
