2d Animator (Spine)

We’re looking for a 2D Spine Animator to create animated graphics for online slot games — characters, backgrounds, UI elements. This is a startup-stage project, where your fresh perspective can truly define the artistic direction. You’ll have real influence — on the style, the product, and the final result.

Responsibilities

1. Create and develop animated graphics for online slot games: characters, backgrounds, symbols, and UI elements using Spine 2D;
2. Prepare and export assets as needed (slicing, packaging, optimization);
3. Build skeletons, set up weights, work with the timeline, and create texture atlases;
4. Manage slot animations (switching images, toggling elements on/off);
5. Configure export settings for different technical requirements;
6. Collaborate closely with artists and developers to ensure smooth integration of animations into the game;
7. Actively participate in creative tasks and bring new ideas to the table.

Requirements

1. 2+ years of experience in character and in-game animation for online slots;
2. Advanced proficiency in Spine 2D (minimum 2 years), Photoshop, and After Effects;
3. Strong understanding of animation principles and visual storytelling;
4. Ability to work independently and take ownership of tasks.

Nice to Have

1. Familiarity with the gambling industry and its visual trends;
2. Initiative and willingness to suggest creative ideas beyond the initial brief.

Working Conditions

• Full-time position (Mon–Fri);
• Standard working hours starting around 9:00 AM Cyprus time;
• Remote or hybrid format possible (to be discussed);
• Opportunity to shape a project from early-stage development and grow with the team.
