Position Summary

We are looking for a highly skilled 2D Animator with strong hands-on experience in Unity to join our game development team. This role combines creative animation expertise with technical implementation, requiring a deep understanding of Unity’s animation systems and production pipelines.

The ideal candidate is both a visual storyteller and a technical collaborator — someone who can take ownership of animation work from concept through implementation, while working closely with multidisciplinary teams.

Responsibilities
  • Create high-quality 2D animations across a wide range of game experiences, including:
  • Full feature animations from concept to implementation
  • Player-facing explanatory sequences and animated onboarding flows
  • UI micro-interactions and responsive interface animation
  • Monetization communication such as offers, store assets, pre-loaders, and promotional surfaces
  • Animated popups and communication moments that enhance clarity and player engagement
  • Implement animations directly in Unity, using Animator Controllers, Timeline, and Unity UI systems.
  • Collaborate closely with:
    Technical Artists, Developers, Monetization Managers, Designers, 2D Artists and Illustrators
  • Translate design intent and monetization strategy into clear, engaging animation solutions.
  • Ensure animations meet performance, technical, and usability constraints within the live game environment.
  • Contribute to improving animation workflows and pipelines within the Unity ecosystem.
Requirements
  • Strong professional experience creating and implementing animations inside Unity
  • Good spoken English for daily communication.
  • Deep understanding of Unity Animator, Canvas/UI animation, and production pipelines.
  • High proficiency in Adobe After Effects (and related motion design tools).
  • Solid foundation in 2D animation principles and motion design.
  • Experience creating both feature-level animation and micro UI interactions.
  • Ability to work within technical constraints while maintaining visual quality.
  • Strong collaboration skills and comfort working in cross-functional teams.
Nice to Have
  • Experience in live-service games or social casino/mobile gaming environments.
  • Understanding of monetization-driven design and player communication.
  • Experience working alongside Tech Artists and developers on implementation challenges.
What We Offer
  • Social package: paid vacation and sick leaves
  • Medical insurance coverage
  • Conference participation reimbursement
  • Employee referral bonuses
  • Regular team-building events and other activities
  • Healthy work-life balance
  • Friendly and supportive environment
