• Work hands‑on in the editor to integrate, iterate on, and debug animations directly in game context, in close collaboration with gameplay, tech design, and animation teams;
• Own the robustness and performance of animation systems (networking, replication, LODs, CPU cost) within an online environment;
• Actively contribute to defining and evolving animation pipelines and tools to accelerate production and reduce team friction;
• Take end‑to‑end ownership of your systems, ensuring quality, readability, maintainability, and the ability to deliver in a live / GaaS‑ready context.

What you bring to the tea

• Strong expertise in technical animation using Unreal Engine
• Solid understanding of game engine workflows and tool development using digital content creation (DCC) software
• Knowledge of production processes and core animation principles
• Strong grasp of artistic anatomy and body mechanics
• Experience with rigging, animation systems, IK, and state machines
• Familiarity with scripting or tool development using Python, MaxScript, or animation DCC tools
• Basic skills in modeling and animation
• Ability to work with initiative, autonomy, and a strong sense of responsibility
• Attention to detail, adaptability, and openness to feedback
• Strong communication and collaboration skills when working with animation teams and cross‑disciplinary partners
