Company Description Escape Velocity is a team of passionate, talented developers working at a studio that offers excellent benefits, on what we believe is a once-in-a-career project with a committed publisher. We value the time, energy, and talent of our players and our colleagues. We want every hour spent developing and playing our games to be an incredibly rewarding and worthwhile use of your time. To that end, we are ‘Fully Remote’ and support team members nearly anywhere in the world. We prioritize honesty, even when that means sharing bad news. We strive to give everyone autonomy so they can determine how best to work and play, and we care more about what you bring to the game and studio than how many hours you’re clocking. We’re dedicated to building a culture of play, which not only makes us better game makers, but also strengthens the bonds between us all. We believe in constant improvement across all areas – from the game itself to our production design – and are constantly re-evaluating how we spend our time to ensure that we’re not wasting yours and we’re all always working on the most important things.

• Create realistic animal animations (locomotion, behavior, reactions) • Ideally work with Animation Blueprints in Unreal Engine • Set up state machines and blend spaces • Integrate animations into gameplay in collaboration with programmers • Work with IK, root motion, and physically accurate movement • Optimize animations for real-time performance • Maintain a high level of realism and visual quality

• As part of our Publishing team, you'll take ownership of the games we own. • You'll push regular updates, ship new content and features, and run live events. • Within 1 month, you've onboarded to one of our existing IP games, gotten comfortable in its codebase, and shipped your first content update or improvement to production on both web and mobile. • Within 3 months, you've got familiar with multiple IP titles, initiated a regular update cycle for a title, designed a reliable LiveOps cadence, and shipped at least one meaningful new feature or event. • Within 6 months, you're independently ideating, scoping, and shipping updates. • You’re proposing what to build next based on the game, the genre, and the players, not just executing a backlog. • Within 12 months, you've played a key role in scaling LiveOps across our IP portfolio, with the systems, tooling, and habits in place to keep multiple live games healthy and growing in parallel. • Push a new content drop or seasonal event to one of our live IP games on web and mobile. • Dive into an unfamiliar codebase to plan how a new feature should slot in without breaking what's already there. • Design and implement a new game mode, progression system, or monetization hook tailored to the genre. • Look at retention, session length, and engagement metrics to propose to the team what to fix or add next. • Align with the Publishing team on the LiveOps roadmap and prioritization. • Maintain clean Git history, write down what you did, and make sure the next update is easier than the last.
