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
