Animator

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Canada.

📋 Description

• Kinetic Character & Asset Design: Bring to life characters, environments, and unique icons by animating them while maintaining perfect volumetric integrity, weight, and visual dynamism throughout every sequence.

• VFX Engineering: Design and implement thrilling visual effects that enhance intense actions, user achievements, and essential interactive elements.

• UI Motion Integration: Work closely with Frontend Engineers to incorporate smooth, responsive micro-animations and seamless transitions into our web layouts, minimizing user friction.

• Storyboarding & Pre-Visualization: Convert abstract ideas and product roadmaps into detailed storyboards, animatics, and scene compositions to establish narrative flow before moving into production.

• Asset Optimization: Achieve a balance between high-quality visual appeal and stringent technical performance, producing clean web-ready files (like JSON/Lottie, WebP, or layered image sheets) that load quickly across global networks.

• Pipeline Management: Keep a meticulously organized library of master files, ensuring that our design and product teams can access and utilize your motion assets in real-time.

⛳️ Requirements

• The "Principles Elite": Profound, intuitive expertise in fundamental animation techniques such as Timing, Squash and Stretch, Slow-in/Slow-out, Anticipation, and dynamic color theory.

• The "Motion Instinct": An impressive professional showreel showcasing exceptional kinetic flow, precise weight distribution, and impactful visual composition.

• Hyper-Availability: This is not a leisurely design environment. When significant features launch or live campaigns shift, you must be highly responsive and available to implement real-time render changes and asset updates.

• Operational Autonomy: Fully self-driven and exceptionally organized; you can handle extensive timelines, intricate layer hierarchies, and rapid production turnarounds without overlooking any detail.

🏝️ Benefits

• Absolute Creative Sovereignty: We prioritize raw output and kinetic impact over bureaucratic constraints. If your motion frameworks are sharp and effective, we implement them immediately.

• Global Canvas: Your visual effects and UI animations will instantly reach a global audience, engaging and captivating thousands of active web users daily.

• A Culture of Momentum: Join a fast-paced, internet-native team that operates at lightning speed. You will continually create, explore new visual limits, and see your technical work come to life instantly.

• High-Growth Upside: We emphasize "potential over pedigree." For an Animator whose kinetic style shapes our player experience, there is a clear, unrestricted path to lead our entire multimedia and design function.
