The Position

As a Senior Animator, you will be working with a talented team of programmers, designers, and animators to fully realize content for our in-game features. The ideal candidate will have experience breathing life into characters and creatures. This position requires you to take on a considerable amount of ownership and responsibility. You are expected to bring your passion, highly developed animation skills, and creative problem-solving to contribute to our project on many levels.

What you'll do:

  • Produce vibrant and exciting new (keyframe) animations for our project
  • Collaborate in a cross-disciplinary environment in the creation of in-game content

  • Accomplished observational skills (a keen eye) coupled with a strong understanding of weight distribution and pacing/timing
  • 5+ years of experience working as an Animator in the games industry (preferably with keyframe)
  • Ability to demonstrate and excel in the production of keyframed and mocap animation for both humans and creatures
  • Accomplished knowledge of current animation techniques and 3rd party animation software (Maya and Motion Builder)
  • Good communication skills and experience working in a team environment
  • Having cinematic knowledge and experience working on cut scenes is a plus

Note: Research shows under-represented groups in the industry (especially women) might not apply to a job if they don't check off every requirement. At Avalanche, we're more about your drive to learn and interest in tackling challenges than what's on your resume So don't stress if you don't tick every box—shoot us your application anyway Diverse opinions and different experiences are what make our teams so great, not itemized lists of qualifications.

The Stockholm location

Our Stockholm office is situated in Södermalm, the beating heart of the city's game industry. It's a physical representation of our games – the lush vegetation of Just Cause and theHunter: Call of the Wild meets corroded metal straight out of Mad Max. It has everything you need to make it your creative base camp.

Our values

At Avalanche Studios Group, we create worlds beyond limits. But that's not exclusive to our games, so we're committed to developing a diverse and inclusive workplace. All Avalanchers have a shared responsibility to create an open work environment where everyone is treated equally and respectfully. Being part of our world is not contingent on your heritage, your gender, or sexual orientation. It's all about your passion and creativity.
