Ideal candidate

• Has proven experience animating for games (especially FPS/TPP shooters).
• Proficient in Maya or Blender.
• Solid knowledge of Unreal Engine animation workflows.
• Experience with IK systems, weapon bone hierarchy, and animation blueprints.
• Ability to work with precise technical documentation and deadlines.
• Be brave enough to jump into whatever task comes related to this field.

Tools & Technologies
• Maya (required)
• Unreal Engine 5 (required)
• MetaHuman / Character Creator / iClone (plus)
• Unity (basic knowledge is a plus)
• Motion Capture workflows (Rokoko, MVN, Xsens, or others)
• Bonus: MotionBuilder, Blender, or custom control rigs

What We Offer
• Remote flexibility and creative autonomy
• High-quality projects for games and real-time cinematic productions
• Professional team of artists and developers
• Fair compensation and potential long-term partnership
