## Description

We’re looking for a Senior Animator — someone who brings characters and worlds to life with strong style and attention to detail. You won’t just animate — you’ll define how things feel and move, shaping the overall player experience.

-   **Visual Style Development:** Collaborate with Art Directors to define the motion language for new game themes;
-   **Asset Optimization:** Prepare and optimize animations for seamless integration into game engines (performance matters);
-   **Creative Polish:** Enhance player feedback through "juicy" animations that drive engagement and excitement.

-   5+ years of experience as a 2D Animator;
-   Strong Spine 2D skills (rigging, animation);
-   Experience with slot games;
-   Good knowledge of After Effects and Photoshop;
