Job Description

As a Principal Animator, you will bring characters to life across either gameplay systems or narrative-driven experiences.

Across the area of focus, you will help set the quality bar, drive best practices, mentor other animators, and partner closely with design, engineering, and animation teams.

Responsibilities

  • Create high-quality gameplay, body, and/or facial animations at AAA standards ...
