// JOB DESCRIPTION

**Responsibilities**

Neem is a multi-title indie studio building a slate of original titles across immersive and PC. We’re a lean team of 10+ senior developers, artists, and producers with a game jam culture: tight scoping, fast prototyping, and high velocity.

Neem is looking for a character animator who can collaborate with engineering and get animation fully implemented in UE5.

Key Responsibilities:

Create fun, stylized character animations for a first-person game (movement, actions, transitions, reactions)

Implement animation in UE5: Animation Blueprints, State Machines / Blend Spaces

Work with engineering to ensure animation systems are performant, readable, and scalable

Iterate quickly from playtest feedback (snappiness, readability, timing, “feel”)

**Qualifications**

3+ years professional character animation experience.

Hands-on UE5 experience implementing animations (not just exporting).

Strong understanding of locomotion systems, timing, anticipation, and game-feel in interactive contexts.

Ability to work inside an established pipeline and deliver consistently.

Bonus:

Experience with first-person body awareness / arms rigs / camera-coupled animation considerations

Experience collaborating on animation-driven gameplay (root motion vs in-place tradeoffs, hit-reactions, etc.)

**How to Apply**

Please submit the following information to [email protected] with Subject: Character Animator - [Your Name], including 1. Animation reel with gameplay-relevant work (locomotion + actions), plus UE implementation examples if possible 2. Your hourly or project rate, and estimated availability (+ time zone)
