TECHNICAL ANIMATOR

At Bespoke Pixel, we're all about creating something extraordinary. We’re a small, fully funded, independent studio working on a well-known IP, and we’re pushing boundaries when it comes to gameplay and quality.

We are looking for a Technical Animator who is equal parts creative and technical. You will build and improve animation state machines and workflows, and adapt character rigs as the game evolves, helping our characters move with the quality, responsiveness and personality we aspire to.

This is a hands on role with close daily collaboration across animation, game design, sound and engineering. Together, you will quickly find the right solutions for tight, fun gameplay loops.

Because we are a small team in the startup phase, the role will not fit neatly inside one box. You should enjoy moving between animation, systems, tools and debugging, with the player experience as your primary measure of success.

We care more about what you have built and the judgment behind it than a precise number of years. Your profile will probably include:

A proactive, curious mindset and the patience to investigate complicated problems without losing sight of production priorities

Why join us? The Bespoke Pixel advantage

This isn't a role where you’ll be a cog in a machine. This is an opportunity to be a key decision-maker in a small, tight-knit team where your impact is visible and valued every day. We believe that great work is done by happy people.

Show us a technical animation problem you solved, what you personally contributed and how the solution improved either the final result or the team's ability to produce it.
