  • Provide knowledge and solutions for everyday animation challenges.
  • Work closely with programmers to establish and refine the animation pipeline.
  • Act as an advocate for a positive collaborative process.
  • Embrace and evangelize the Cloud Chamber values: Act with Kindness, Lead With Courage, Dare To Be Original and Creative, Stand For Unity, and Embrace Diversity.

Skills, Experience and Qualifications:

  • One or more shipped AAA titles, ideally using Unreal or a comparable engine.
  • Exemplary skills in keyframe stylized 3D animation.
  • Exceptional knowledge of how to create and maintain gameplay and AI systems in game engines as they pertain to video game animation.
  • Excellent problem solving and debugging skills.
  • A very strong understanding of character performance, form, gesture, and silhouette in regard to player character and AI.
  • Excellent understanding of anatomy and caricature.
  • Exceptional skill in animating the human bipedal figure, organic forms, quadrupedal, and mechanical objects.
  • An exemplary understanding of traditional animation principles and how they support and enhance gameplay.
  • Experience working with Motion Capture data and editing it.
  • Experience with hand key facial animation and tools such as FaceFx.
  • Experience structuring & maintaining animation processes such as rigging, or prototyping.
  • A love for research, reference, and documenting your findings to share with the team.
  • Strong collaborative and flexible spirit.
  • Mentorship, coaching, and training experience is a bonus.
  • Highly detail-oriented, deadline-driven, and able to embrace change for a fast-growing organization.
  • Ability to partner with a diverse group of personalities effectively and constructively.
  • The ability to problem-solve and prioritize issues while developing a production pipeline.
  • Mature outlook on work ethics and responsibilities.
  • Champion of high standards, pushing for progress, embracing change, and challenging the status quo.
  • Able to respond elegantly to difficult creative changes, often late in the process.
  • A positive force multiplier with a great team-player attitude.
  • Self-motivated, curious, and collaborative.
  • Uncompromising ethics and unwavering integrity.
  • Willing to uphold the values of Cloud Chamber.
