Join our winning team and design top quality art for the best games in the industry. Work on licensed themes and create engaging content for every player to enjoy. The ideal candidate will be an Animator with the creativity and passion to help take our games to the next level.
The first three months as an Animator are exciting and challenging as the team pushes to deliver games for the Global Gaming Expo.

Leadership Involvement:
The Animator will work closely with the senior team members and management to develop artistically and professionally.
The leaders will help guide the team with problem solving, improving art and adapting to a fast-paced environment.
