We are seeking an experienced Senior 2D Character Animator to join our game development team. In this role, you will focus on creating high-quality 2D character animations that bring our characters to life. Your animations will play a key role in shaping the visual experience of the game, aligning with the artistic direction and gameplay mechanics. If you have extensive experience in 2D animation within game production, particularly with Spine, we want to hear from you!
Responsibilities
- Create smooth and high-quality 2D character animations using Spine, ensuring they align with the artistic vision and gameplay mechanics.
- Collaborate with the art and design teams to ensure animations support the visual storytelling and character performance.
- Ensure animation consistency across characters, scenes, and assets.

- Minimum of 5 years of experience in 2D animation for mobile game production.
- Expertise in Spine animation software, including rigging, skeletal animation, and motion editing.
- Strong understanding of animation principles, timing, and character movement.
- Ability to collaborate with cross-disciplinary teams (art, design, etc.) to ensure seamless animation execution.
- Traditional animation skills (drawing, understanding of squash/stretch, timing) are a plus, but not essential.
- Excellent communication and team collaboration skills.
- Familiarity with additional 2D animation tools like Adobe Animate or Toon Boom (preferred).
This is a remote position where you would be accountable for your own work so efficient time-management and collaboration skills are a must.
