You bring strong artistic judgment, attention to detail, and the ability to take ownership of your work from concept through final implementation in-engine.
Key Responsibilities
- Produce high-quality 2D animations, VFX, and motion graphics for in-game features, live ops events, and content updates, using AI tools where they accelerate ideation, reference gathering, and iteration without compromising craft
- Maintain a consistent motion language across the game, partnering with Art Direction, Product, and Design to keep motion aligned with gameplay and player experience
- Create prototypes, references, and explorations for new features and events — bringing AI into early concepting and motion reference where it speeds the path to a strong direction
- Prepare production-ready animations optimised for mobile performance, and implement and tune them in-engine alongside engineers
- Collaborate with UI/UX artists on clear, readable, and engaging interface motion
- Iterate based on feedback, playtests, and live performance data, using AI to support scripting, post-production, and the less creative parts of the pipeline
- Support the marketing team on UA videos and playable ads, bringing the same craft bar to performance creative
- Develop and share AI-assisted workflows that integrate cleanly with After Effects, Spine 2D, and Unity, helping raise quality and velocity across the animation team
- Contribute to animation guidelines and support fellow animators through feedback and example-setting
Skills, Knowledge and Expertise
- 3-5 years as a Motion Designer or 2D Animator in games or interactive products, with a strong portfolio demonstrating animation quality, range, and feel
- Excellent animation fundamentals: timing, spacing, easing, anticipation, and follow-through
- Experience creating animations for mobile games, ideally in the casual or social casino space
- Proficiency with industry-standard tools: After Effects, Spine 2D, Photoshop, and Figma
- Hands-on experience with generative AI tools across the motion pipeline - LLMs (Claude, ChatGPT) and generative video/image tools (Runway, Kling, Sora, Midjourney, Luma) - with strong prompting skills and clear judgement about where AI adds value and where it doesn't
- Curiosity about emerging tools and a willingness to experiment, evaluate, and adopt new workflows as the landscape evolves
- Able to take ownership of tasks and deliver polished work with minimal supervision; strong collaborator and communicator
- Bonus: experience with in-engine animation implementation (Unity, DOTween, or similar), live ops content, and UA video or playable ad production
