What you'll do:

• Export and integrate animations according to technical guidelines, in collaboration with the Technical Director or Technical Animator, as well as designers and programmers;
• 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;
