Ability to explain technical topics to people of varying levels of expertise
An eye for detail in creating dynamic, authentic, and responsive character animation
A deep love for video games (not just ours!) and a passion for sports culture, tracking everything from tactical team formations to what happens from the opening whistle to the final second of extra time

Beneficial Qualifications

Experience developing and shipping AAA games on Unreal Engine 4 and 5
Master’s/PhD in a related field with a focus on animation related topics
Familiarity with Python and/or C#
