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. 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.

- ** 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.
