Gameplay Animator [Unannounced Project]

Job Description

We are looking for a Gameplay Animator to join our new, unannounced, project that we have just started. This is a great opportunity for you who like working with smaller size teams and projects while having all the benefits of a AAA environment as well as developing a product using our in-house engine Snowdrop.

This is a temporarily temporary position for 12 months, based in Malmö Sweden and requires working onsite. We kindly ask you to apply with your CV and message to the hiring manager/cover letter in English. Applications will be reviewed whilst the job-ad is posted.

As a Gameplay Animator at Massive, you’ll help to craft stunning gameplay features. You’ll work closely with our talented team of Tech Artists, Tech Animators, Designers, and Programmers. This is a great opportunity if your interests peak beyond animation.

Responsibilities

• Working in our game engine to develop and support Gameplay Animation Systems
• Working with both key-frame and motion capture animation to bring our characters to life
• Collaborating with Tech Art, Tech Animation, Design, and Code to build compelling gameplay animation systems
• Continue to innovate and push the animation boundaries
• Work alongside your Lead, Design, Code and peers to proactively solve complex problems, with the goal of delivering content on time
• When needed, opportunities to work with and direct Motion Capture shoots

Qualifications

You as a person

Your history of delivering high-quality, but at the same time creative animations where the boundaries of what animation means in a game is pushed, makes you a source for inspiration when collaborating with other disciplines. Your ability to see the bigger picture makes you a reliable team player and efficient communicator when finding the best solution to both long and short-term challenges.

Besides the above we’re looking for someone aligned with our core values and the following skills and experience:

• Relevant and updated demo-reel
• Proven professional Gameplay Animation experience
• Experience working within Unreal, Unity or similar engines
• Experience in bipedal, creature, and mechanical animation
• Experience with both key-frame and motion capture animation
• Experience with facial animation is a plus
• AAA and Gameplay Animation Systems experience is a plus
