What you'll do:

- Test, review, and iterate on animation systems directly in-game;
- Work closely with fellow animators, the Animation Director, programmers, and designers to deliver features on time and at the expected quality level;
- Take ownership of the final in-game feel of your work, which is the primary measure of animation quality.
- Strong experience creating gameplay animations for video games;
- Proven experience in 3C animation and first-person animation systems (FPS);
- Strong expertise in motion capture data processing;
- A sharp eye for visual quality and detail;
- An open and collaborative mindset, with the ability to find compromises when solving complex problems;
- Motivation and pride in delivering high-quality work;
- Flexibility and resilience when adapting to production changes;
- A passion for teamwork and sharing ideas in a creative environment;
- Solid understanding of technical constraints related to game engine integration;
- Ability to work effectively in a multidisciplinary team while aligning with artistic and technical visions;
- Familiarity with MotionBuilder is a plus;
- Experience working on a shipped AAA title is an asset.
