hela Sverige Avalanche Studios Group and its creative division Avalanche Studios is looking for an Animation Programmer to join the largest and greatest AAA project we've ever taken on.
On this project we want to push animation quality a lot further than we have done previously and this will require us to take our animation technology to the bleeding edge. Sounds like fun to you? Do you feel you have the skills for this? Then we would love to hear from you!
The Position
As an Animation Programmer you will develop and maintain both tools and runtime systems required to realize the vision for animation on the project. You should be able to understand the pros and cons with different approaches and be able to come up with new creative solutions to efficiently be able to achieve the desired quality.
The position also includes architecting the interfaces between the animation system and e.g. AI. Use and extend existing systems when possible build new tools and features when needed. Assist animators in translating game design into technical animation design, help and educate game programmers working with animation related features and aid technical animators in implementing animations into the game. You will join our engineers in developing and maintaining our proprietary Apex Engine.
It is expected that you see your responsibility as delivering a successful end-user experience, together with your team-mates, rather than just handing off technological solutions to content creators. Much of the success of well executed game characters is down to how successfully they are integrated with all of the systems within the game engine, e.g. physics, animation, UI, SFX, VFX, dialog, etc. Previous experience and proven ability to work with multiple systems and stakeholders is a definite advantage. Finally, as with any other programming role, you will have to be able to balance functional requirements with technical requirements in the areas of performance, stability, memory usage, interoperability.
Required Qualifications:
• Excellent communications skills
• Solid knowledge of game animation systems e.g. layering, masking, state machines, locomotion, facial animations, blending, and parameterization
• Experience working with IK, ragdolls and / or other procedural techniques
• Fluent in linear algebra
• Able to write readable, robust and performant code in C/C++
• A keen eye for animation
Desired Qualifications:
• Experience in networking animated characters
• Experience with motion synthesis/generation
• Experience with machine learning for animation
• Experience working with game physics
• Experience of profiling and optimization
Our values
At Avalanche Studios Group, we believe in worlds beyond limits, and 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 where you're from, your gender, or sexual orientation. It's all about your passion and creativity.
The 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. We hope you'll join us and make this place your creative base camp.
