We are also able to offer remote working for those who would prefer to work almost exclusively from home or who are unable to relocate. We can discuss your preferences with you during the recruitment process.

We have an exciting opportunity for a graduate technical animator to work within our highly experienced animation team. In this role, under the supervision of your lead, you will join our animation team, assisting the animation department with technical problem solving, as well as collaborating on tools and pipeline development.

Our catalogue of games has a wide range of requirements to fit different animation targets and art styles, and our animation pipelines and tools need to reflect that. With such a diverse set of needs, we require lateral thinking and flexibility to be able to get the best out of our animation team.

Great tools allow for great animation, and will play a huge part in the future success of the animation team. With games such as Planet Zoo leading the way, your passion will allow us to reach the levels of quality we strive for in our games.
