Position Overview

We are looking for a Senior 3D Animator who excels at creating expressive, stylized, gameplay-driven animation for our AA and AAA game projects built in Unity3D.

In this role, you will:

  • Create clear, readable, and characterful animations that support gameplay and player feedback

  • Help establish animation workflows, build‑made rigs, and production standards for stylized games

  • Explore procedural and automated animation solutions suited for scalable and mobile‑friendly pipelines

This is a senior, hands‑on role within a fully remote and collaborative studio environment, ideal for an animator who understands game development holistically and enjoys solving complex production challenges.

Responsibilities

Stylized Character Animation

  • Create high‑quality keyframe animations with strong posing, timing, and personality

  • Focus on readability, exaggeration, and clarity for real‑time gameplay

  • Animate characters in ways that support player control, feedback, and responsiveness

Rig & Animation Workflow Development

  • Collaborate with technical artists and riggers to help establish build‑made rigs for stylized characters

  • Validate rigs from an animator’s perspective and provide feedback to improve usability and deformation

  • Contribute to defining animation standards, naming conventions, and export guidelines

Unity3D Animation Implementation

  • Implement animations directly in Unity3D using Animator Controllers, blend trees, and state machines

  • Iterate on animation behavior in‑engine to align with gameplay logic and design requirements

  • Support animation‑driven gameplay features and transitions

Procedural & Automated Animation Exploration

  • Participate in research and experimentation around procedural or semi‑automated animation workflows

  • Explore potential use of Houdini and other tools to support scalable animation systems

  • Contribute ideas for automation and efficiency within DCC‑to‑engine pipelines

Performance & Platform Awareness

  • Adapt animation solutions to real‑time and mobile constraints

  • Ensure animations are optimized for performance, memory usage, and scalability

Collaboration & Iteration

  • Work closely with designers, programmers, character artists, and technical artists

  • Iterate on animations based on gameplay feedback, technical constraints, and production needs

  • Communicate intent and solutions clearly within a remote, agile workflow

Requirements

Experience

  • 5+ years of professional experience as a game animator

  • Experience working on stylized AA or AAA game projects

Portfolio

  • Strong animation reel focused on stylized, gameplay‑ready character animation

  • Clear examples of posing, timing, acting, and readability in real‑time contexts

Animation & Technical Skills

  • Excellent understanding of keyframe animation principles

  • Strong knowledge of game‑ready rigs and real‑time animation constraints

  • Hands‑on experience with Maya and/or Blender

Engine & Game Development

  • Proven experience implementing animation in Unity3D

  • Understanding of how animation interacts with gameplay systems and player input

Mindset & Communication

  • Problem‑solver attitude with the ability to adapt workflows to new challenges

  • Interest in exploration, experimentation, and continuous improvement

  • Fluent English and comfort working fully remote

Bonus Skills

  • Experience with procedural animation or Houdini‑based workflows

  • Basic rigging or technical animation knowledge

  • Experience adapting animation pipelines for mobile games

  • Familiarity with DCC‑driven tools or custom Unity animation solutions

  • Experience working in distributed or fully remote teams

What We Offer

  • Stylized AA and AAA game projects with strong artistic identity

  • Fully remote work with core collaboration hours between 10:00 and 15:00 CET

  • Stable full‑time role with flexible contract options (employment or B2B)
