• Explore and prototype with generative AI tools for motion concepting and rapid ideation.
• Embrace feedback and iteration to deliver polished final results.

What We’re Looking For

• 2+ years of experience animating UI and 2D elements in games.
• Strong grasp of animation principles: timing, easing, anticipation, and feedback.
• Proven experience implementing UI animations in Unity.
• Eye for layout, design, and motion aesthetics.
• Proficient with After Effects, Animate, Spine, or similar tools.
• Understanding of performance constraints for mobile platforms.
• Familiarity with Unity timelines, shaders, or basic scripting is a plus.
