2D Game Animator

Overview

Application

2D Game Animator – AI-Powered EdTech Games | Fully Remote

We're hiring an animator to bring our game characters and UI to life. If you can make a character feel alive in two seconds of motion, turn a static screen into something that breathes, and make a wrong answer feel okay — we want to hear from you.

🎯 What You'll Do

👁️ Up to 5 years of relevant experience

🐰 Animate game characters — idle loops, reactions, celebrations, transitions, and everything that gives a character personality

✨ Create UI and feedback animations — screen transitions, correct/incorrect states, progress moments, micro-interactions

🎮 Upgrade existing rough animations into polished, production-ready motion

🌟 Design animation that serves learning — making correct answers feel rewarding and wrong answers feel safe to try again

🎨 Help develop animation style references and motion guidelines for new game projects

🤖 Explore AI animation tools to accelerate workflows and experiment with new techniques

🔍 What We're Looking For

⏱️ Strong grasp of animation fundamentals: timing, spacing, squash & stretch, anticipation, follow-through

🎬 Proficiency in animation software: Adobe Animate, After Effects, Spine, or Rive

👁️ A keen eye for art direction — you know what looks right, what feels off

👶 Sensitivity to animating for children: motion that's playful, encouraging, and never punishing

🎮 Game feel awareness — your animations serve gameplay, not interrupt it

🏇 Ability to work with minimal guidance — you take a brief and run with it!

⭐ Nice to Have

🤖 Experience with AI animation tools or AI-assisted motion workflows

🖌️ Illustration or character design ability

📚 Prior experience animating for EdTech, children's products, or 2D games

🔧 Understanding of animation implementation in game engines (Unity or any web-based framework)
