Sherbrooke, Canada Ubisoft Full time

**Job Description**:
When you’re a Gameplay Animator at Ubisoft Sherbrooke, you are responsible for a game’s polished, harmonious animation, which allows players to fully immerse themselves in a world that is stylistically believable and consistent.

You understand that teamwork is essential to reach that point. As an individual, you see a hidden story in the way a person moves; you tend to deconstruct the world around you into smaller parts that you then build back up. As a teammate, you pride yourself on your attention to detail, your organizational and communication skills, and your adaptability to change. You collaborate with artists, designers, programmers, leads and other animators, all of whom have opinions, ideas and constraints, but all of whom are committed to the unified goal of authentically portraying the universe with a certain flair.

**What you'll do**
- ** Sync** the engine and the build to ensure you’re working with the latest code and animations.
- ** Check in** with your lead and your team to update and be updated the current situation.
- Prototype, **key frame**, or block an animation.
- Work on your animations, of course, from scratch or from **mo-cap**.
- ** Test** your animations (over and over) and validate your designs.
- ** Problem-solve** your animations.
- ** Polish** your animations.
- Read the **latest relevant academic literature** in order to stay at the forefront of your field.

**Qualifications**:
**What you bring**
- A college diploma in 3D for videogames or equivalent
- 1 to 3 years of experience in videogame animation or equivalent
- Proficiency to communicate with all disciplines and to support and elevate the team in terms of visuals
- Experience with animation software such as Motion Builder, 3ds Max or Maya
- You love pushing the envelope, but you also understand the demands cohesive teamwork

**What to send our way**
- Your CV highlighting your education, experience, and skills
- Samples of your work (join images or a link to your online portfolio)
