2D Game Animator

Work from home Full-time role Hiring

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

  • 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)

Internship Details:

  • Remote-first work culture

  • 3-month contract, with potential for full-time offer

  • Chance to design real-world EdTech experiences used by millions
