Spine 2D Artistry: You'll utilize Spine 2D to orchestrate fluid 2D character animations, harmonizing them with the overarching world.

Unity Virtuosity: Incorporate animated elements into Unity, optimizing for peak performance. Expertise in Unity's native animation tools will be particularly valuable.

Ideal Candidate

- Showcase a portfolio testament to your expertise in creating delightful animations.

- Possess an innate storytelling flair that manifests through your animations.

- Exhibit scrupulous attention to detail—right down to the nuances in a character's breathing or a subtle wink.

- Thrive both in team collaborations and solo endeavors.

- Are not only skilled but also open-minded, readily asking questions when faced with challenges.

- Are future-facing yet history-inspired - While you master the latest tech, your deep knowledge and understanding of classic animation principles sets you apart.
