The role blends gameplay and cinematic animation responsibilities and targets candidates at an associate to intermediate level, while remaining receptive to more senior applicants. Applicants are expected to demonstrate a passion for 3D animation, meticulous attention to detail, and familiarity with video‑game art pipelines.
