Looking to bring animation to the re-animated? Then this might just be the job for you! Starbreeze is now looking for talented Animator to join our award-winning team in Stockholm.

As an Animator, you will be responsible for creating solid animations, both in-game and in cinematics. You play a crucial role when it comes to tying together gameplay, storytelling and character movement. You will be responsible for pitching ideas and creating prototypes, as well as the direction of actors and stuntmen during motion capture sessions. Ultimately, you will bring polish to the final stage, and bring life-like (and un-life-like, of course) animations into the game.

Job Tasks:

Collaborate with the Art, Engineering and Design teams to define animation style producing pre-visualizations and present concept ideas to the team
Create the animations for both in-game behavior as well as predefined sequences (or cut scenes)
Understand game-required techniques such as blending, tagging, state machine transitions, animation blending trees, compression, etc
Create compelling character performances, utilizing both key framed and motion capture techniques, to compliment the game design and promote the artistic vision of the game as a whole
Work with the Producers, Department Leads and Animation team to establish methods to improve the production pipeline, tools and systems that will benefit the integrity of the animation for the studio
Assist in troubleshooting animation and technical issues,
Clearly communicate updates and concerns in a timely manner to the Production team to ensure project goals are met and delivered to the highest levels
Expected to give advice and mentor entry level Animators

You have experience working with animations in the game industry with at least one shipped AAA title. You are an experienced Maya user and have an excellent understanding of the principles of animation. Experience and knowledge of the Unreal game engine is an advantage. We also consider storyboarding skills, a love for zombies/The Walking Dead franchise and a strong interest in working on Virtual Reality experiences as strong positives. You must be fluent in English, both verbally and in writing.

To be successful in this position you are:

At least 2 years of experience with animation in the video game industry
