  • Balance between artistic quality and technical performance;
  • Document workflows, tools, and processes for animation teams;
  • Provide day-to-day guidance and support to technical animators and animation teams;
  • Facilitate collaboration between creative and technical disciplines;
  • Guide teams in developing sustainable and efficient animation workflows.

Qualifications

  • Experience in technical animation, animation systems development, or programming within the video game industry;
  • Experience guiding or mentoring teams in a collaborative environment;
  • Experience with live multiplayer games;
  • Strong understanding of Unreal Engine and 3D software such as MotionBuilder, 3ds Max, and Maya;
  • Experience with scripting languages such as Python, C#, JavaScript, and MaxScript;
  • Understanding of motion capture, state machines, and animation workflows;
  • Familiarity with Jira, Perforce, or similar production tools;
