Qualifications - 5+ years of experience as a 2D Animator; - Strong Spine 2D skills (rigging, animation); - Experience with slot games; - Good knowledge of After Effects and Photoshop; - Strong understanding of animation principles; - Basic technical understanding (optimization, draw calls); - Portfolio with character animation and VFX. Benefits - 21 vacation days + 5 extra day-offs annually; - 12 paid sick days; - Fully remote format — work from anywhere you feel productive; - Flexible schedule: start your day anytime between 08:00–11:00 CET; - Fixed budget for health insurance and gym/fitness; - Provided all required work equipment; - Zero bureaucracy and direct communication with founders and C-level; - Minimal meetings, async-friendly workflow; - Startup energy: fast motion, creativity, and tight-knit communication; - Business trips and team meetups several times per year; - Multiple salary payout options (flexible formats); - …And many more perks unlocked after we hit break-even.
