Overview

Direct message the job poster from Premier Group

I fill the difficult vacancies. Data, ML, AI, Software Engineering, C-Level positions. A decade of recruitment experience. Work with me and we will…

Are you a passionate character animator with a knack for bringing stylized characters to life? Do you dream of crafting expressive, dynamic animations in a rich 3D fantasy world? An innovative indie game studio is looking for you to help shape their upcoming 3D platformer RPG – a single-player experience packed with exploration, story, and satisfying combat.

We’re partnering with this growing studio to find a skilled animator who can rig and animate characters for Unreal Engine, with a strong focus on melee combat and fighting animation. If you’ve got a solid background in game development, an eye for expressive movement, and you’re excited to collaborate on a fresh new IP, let’s talk.

What You’ll Do

  • Rig and skin 3D characters for animation and implementation in Unreal Engine
  • Animate fluid, stylized movement and melee combat sequences for enemies and the player character
  • Collaborate with the design and programming teams to ensure animations enhance gameplay feel
  • Own the character animation pipeline from concept to in-engine polish
  • Solve technical animation challenges and optimize rigs for performance

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven experience rigging and animating characters for video games (shipped titles a big plus!)
  • Deep experience with Unreal Engine animation systems (State Machines, Anim Blueprints, etc.)
  • Solid knowledge of rigging tools like Maya, Blender, or similar
  • Understanding of gameplay mechanics and how animation supports player experience
  • Passion for video games and a gamer’s intuition for what feels good in-game
  • Self-starter mindset; able to work independently in a remote team environment
  • Work from Anywhere

    This is a fully remote position. The team collaborates across time zones – we welcome candidates from anywhere in the world.

    About the Game

    Think vibrant worlds, tight platforming, and engaging combat in a stylized 3D fantasy setting. This is an original IP built with heart, creativity, and a clear vision. Join a small, passionate team that values quality, player experience, and creative freedom.

    Apply Now

    If you’re ready to dive into a new adventure and help build something truly special from the ground up, we want to hear from you. Share your resume, portfolio / demo reel, and a brief note about your favorite game mechanic and why it works.
