Senior Technical Animator

We’re looking for a Senior Technical Animator to join Ibru, our story-heavy RPG blending investigation, systemic gameplay, and a distinct myth-punk aesthetic.

This is a hands-on, production-critical role focused on implementing and integrating animation within existing gameplay systems.

What you’ll do

• Implement character animations in Unreal Engine and wire them into existing gameplay mechanics and systems
  
• Set up and maintain Animation Blueprints, state machines, blend spaces, montages, and IK solutions
  
• Adapt existing animations to our animation pipeline, gameplay constraints, and technical standards
  
• Support other animators by helping integrate, troubleshoot, and optimize their work in-engine
  
• Work with multi-mesh characters (modular bodies, clothing, gear) and ensure animation consistency across them
  
• Handle MetaHuman characters and adapt their animation setups to gameplay needs
  
• Implement and troubleshoot cloth systems (Chaos Cloth or equivalent) in production scenarios
  
• Collaborate closely with gameplay programmers, designers, and character artists to ensure animation supports mechanics, pacing, and readability
  
• Debug animation-related issues and propose robust, scalable solutions
  
• Help establish and refine animation pipelines and best practices for the project
  

What we’re looking for

• Senior-level experience as a Technical Animator or equivalent role
  
• Strong, practical knowledge of Unreal Engine animation systems
  
• Proven experience with MetaHumans, cloth simulation, and multi-mesh character setups
  
• Experience working with existing animation libraries and adapting them to production pipelines
  
• Solid understanding of animation logic, runtime performance, and systemic interactions
  
• Comfortable owning features end-to-end and supporting less technical animators when needed
  
• Clear communicator who can explain technical constraints without blocking creative work
  

Nice to have

• Experience on narrative-driven or RPG projects
  
• Familiarity with motion capture pipelines and retargeting
  
• Scripting or light programming experience (Blueprints preferred)
  
• Interest in stylized or non-standard animation approaches
  

What we offer

• A senior, trusted role with real influence on the final game
  
• A focused, experienced team working on a single ambitious project
  
• Clear ownership rather than micromanagement
  
• Remote-friendly collaboration (with optional on-site work in Poland)
  
• Competitive compensation appropriate to seniority
