We’re looking for a 3D Animator with strong experience in character rigging, animation, and hands-on implementation in Unity to help bring characters and environments to life across PC and mobile platforms.

This is a long-term contract position. The role is 100 percent remote, but the team works aligned with CET working hours, so availability during CET business hours is required.

• Produce high-quality character animations such as locomotion, idles, interactions, and transitions
• Implement and iterate on animations directly in Unity
• Work with animation controllers, blend trees, and state machines in engine
• Create lightweight environmental animations such as trees, foliage, props, and signage
• Optimize animations and rigs for real-time performance on PC and mobile
• Collaborate closely with engineering and design to ensure animations feel great in gameplay
• Troubleshoot and refine animation, rigging, and implementation issues throughout development

What we’re looking for

• 5+ years of professional experience in 3D animation or participation in at least 2 shipped titles with humanoid animation work (portfolio required)
• Strong experience in character rigging and humanoid animation
• Proven experience implementing animations in Unity
• Solid understanding of animation fundamentals such as timing, weight, motion, and readability
• Experience optimizing assets for real-time game engines
• Ability to create clean, efficient rigs suitable for production environments

Nice to have

• Deeper experience with animation state machines, blend trees, and controller setups
• Experience with both stylized and realistic animation styles
• Basic understanding of technical art pipelines

What we offer
