About the Role

We are looking for a highly skilled Gameplay Animator with strong Unreal Engine 5 experience to join our team on a full-time contract basis (2–4 months).

This role focuses on gameplay-driven animations with cinematic quality — not pre-rendered cinematics, but real-time, responsive, polished in-engine animations that elevate player experience.

You will work closely with design, tech, and gameplay teams to deliver immersive, high-impact character animations fully integrated inside UE5.

Responsibilities

  • Create high-quality gameplay animations directly for Unreal Engine 5
  • Implement, polish, and optimize animations in UE5 (Animation Blueprints, State Machines, Blend Spaces, Montages)
  • Collaborate with gameplay designers to ensure responsiveness and feel
  • Fine-tune animation timing, weight, transitions, and combat readability
  • Ensure animations meet both cinematic and gameplay clarity standards
  • Work within existing pipelines and maintain performance targets

Requirements

  • Strong professional experience working inside Unreal Engine 5
  • Proven experience shipping gameplay animations (not just cinematic work)
  • Deep understanding of:
  • Animation Blueprints
  • Root motion vs in-place workflows
  • State machines & blending
  • Gameplay responsiveness & player feedback
  • Strong sense of weight, timing, and physicality
  • Ability to iterate quickly based on gameplay feedback
  • Portfolio showing gameplay animation work implemented in-engine

Nice to Have

  • Combat animation experience
  • Experience working on third-person action titles
  • Motion capture cleanup & polish experience
  • Understanding of gameplay systems integration

Engagement Details

  • Full-time commitment required
  • Remote-friendly
  • 2–4 month contract with potential extension
  • Competitive compensation based on experience
