We're looking for a Senior Cinematic Animator to join our team working out of our Boston office. This role is part of our team working on Cyberpunk 2 - the follow-up to Cyberpunk 2077 and the next major video game in the Cyberpunk franchise.
Contribute to a dynamic team by bringing characters to life in the narrative moments of the game. Collaborate closely with designers and other multidisciplinary team members to create immersive game content - from initial concepting, quest requirements, through mocap shoots, to finished animations.

Delivering work in accordance with the artistic direction of the project.
Prototyping and drafting animations to explore and validate new ideas.
Working on concepts and previzes for the narrative parts of the game to ensure a cohesive and engaging story experience.
Providing knowledge and solutions for everyday problems.
Creating final, high-quality narrative animation assets from scratch or motion capture data.
Sharing your experience and helping team members.
Qualifications
Passion for creating great games and a love for animation.
Experience working on at least two AAA titles.
An animation reel demonstrating senior-level skills with a clear explanation of contributions.
Outstanding creativity and a strong commitment to the project.
Solid knowledge of animation principles and an eye for dynamic poses.
Good instincts for realistic character movement and facial conveying emotions.
Understanding of camera movement, composition, and character performance to create visually compelling scenes.
Professional knowledge of Unreal Engine and Maya or Motion Builder.
Experience directing and working with motion capture and/or performance capture.
Capability to self-manage and make responsible decisions about time and project priorities.
Ability to work proactively in multidisciplinary teams.
Eagerness to receive, seek, and provide constructive feedback.
Ability to mentor less experienced peers.
Experience creating layouts or previzes is a plus.
Experience in developing animation pipelines and tools is a plus.
