Animator

Currently, we are looking for an experienced Animator to join us on a full-time basis at our Warsaw office (2 days onsite, 3 days remote).
Our client is on the hunt for a skilled Animator to help breathe life into our world. You’ll be the first dedicated animation hire, joining a small, close-knit team working on an original title. Whether it's stylized characters, expressive VFX, or juicy game feel polish—your work will directly shape how our game feels in players’ hands.
This is a full-time hybrid role, ideal for someone who loves variety, iteration, and early-stage creative problem-solving. You’ll work across gameplay, UI, and narrative moments—wherever movement brings impact.

Responsibilities:

• Animate 2D (or 2.5D) characters, enemies, and UI elements (buttons, panels, screens) using cutout, frame-by-frame, or hybrid techniques.
• Create expressive, gameplay-centric animations that support readability and game feel.
• Design and implement visual feedback, micro-interactions, and motion polish.
• Collaborate with artists, designers, and developers to integrate animations seamlessly.
• Help define the motion style and contribute to the overall visual direction.

Requirements:

• 5+ years of professional animation experience in games.
• Strong portfolio/reel demonstrating both Skeleton (character/enemy) and UI animation experience.
• Proficiency with animation tools such as Spine, After Effects, or similar.
• Strong understanding of Unity - engine limitations, best practices, and what can/can’t be done in-engine.
• Ability to prototype quickly, iterate, and explore creative ideas.
• Strong understanding of how animation enhances game feel, UX clarity, and feedback.
• Experience with shader animation, procedural animation, or VFX would be a bonus.

What's in it for you:

• Shape the gameplay of a brand-new mobile game from day one.
• High creative ownership in a zero-politics, low-ego environment.
• Work with a small, elite team where your voice matters.
• Iterate fast, ship smart, and build something truly player-first.
