Gameplay Animator

Box Dragon is a new PC game development studio founded by game dev veterans from Riot Games and Stunlock Studios. We’re located in Gothenburg and backed by Coffee Stain. Our team has over 30 years combined game dev experience and each member of our team comes from a different background.
We each bring something unique to the table and we have a passion for sharing stories. We make games around the idea of novel fun for our players; we craft emergent experiences in stylized worlds supported by system-driven gameplay. If this sounds like a great fit for you, we’re scaling up our team!
As Gameplay Animator at Box Dragon, you will help bring together gameplay, storytelling, and character performance from the initial design stage to the final product. You will be responsible for creating expressive performances for biological and mechanical characters, as well as structures and other inanimate objects.
We’re a small team, so you will have the opportunity to express yourself in your work and hone your craft by working on a wide variety of challenges.
This is a permanent full-time in-studio position based in Gothenburg, Sweden. Kindly submit a demo reel or portfolio with your application.
