You understand that teamwork is essential to reach that point.

As a teammate, you pride yourself on your attention to detail, your organizational and communication skills, and your adaptability to change.

- ** 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 mocap.
- ** Test **your animations—over and over—and validate your designs.
- ** Problem-solve **your animations.
- ** Polish** your animations.
- Create camera **movements** whenever necessary and ensure their quality.
- ** Correct** the camera bugs that testers enter in the database.
- Read the latest relevant academic literature in order to stay at the **forefront** of your field.

**Qualifications**:
**What you bring**
- 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
- An artistic eye and a sense for composition
- 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
- A portfolio of your best work (attach images or send us a link to your personal website or online portfolio)

Just a heads up: If you require a work permit, your eligibility may depend on your education and years of relevant work experience, as required by the government.
