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
