Animator

Here at Chief Rebel, we aim to make awesome games that will inspire developers and players alike. We value collaboration and iteration, meaning that we are game developers first, working together cross-disciplinary to make the best games. How we work is equally important to what we do.


As an Animator you will produce a wide range of animations such as powerful melee attacks and memorable spells to breathe life into our legendary heroes, fierce monsters, and epic bosses.


What you will do
We are looking for a gameplay animator to champion and take a large part in realizing our animation vision for our game. In this role you are working closely with our game directors, our animation team and other stakeholders. Championing Chief Rebel animation means you’ll be hands on showing what good gameplay animations look like and help the team to get there. You play a vital role in making sure our game looks and feels awesome to play.




What you will bring
You bring experience from working with similar games or genres (moba, mmorpg and arpg), knowing what made them awesome. Your intuition tells you when to keep pushing forward, and when to abandon and refocus. You know how to filter from the ocean of great ideas to find the right opportunities to make our game better.


Knowing that great ideas can come from anywhere and convinced that we are stronger as a team, you are open to what you don’t know and not afraid of asking for help. You know that the easy approach is not always the best approach, so you have the patience and courage to be different. Feedback, iteration and knowledge sharing are equally important components, as we build our culture upon being open, vulnerable and honest.


To succeed in this role, you need
Professional experience in the video games industry or other relevant industries.
Experience working with keyframe animation in Maya
Rigging experience and animation set-up in Unreal
An ability to balance a birds eye view with an eye for details
Strong communication and collaboration skills
Mentor other animators
