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.

• 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
