Vi är Hold Your Hat, en nystartad spelstudio i Stockholm med stora ambitioner och ett sammansvetsat team om åtta personer. Vi är en studio inom iGaming som skapar 2D-animerade slots med karaktär, humor och wow-känsla – och vi tror på kreativ frihet, innovation och att ha roligt när vi skapar spel i världsklass.
Nu söker vi en Character Animator – en berättare i rörelseform som älskar att ge liv åt karaktärer med personlighet, tyngd och humor. Hos oss blir du en central del av hur våra figurer känns, rör sig och uttrycker sig – och du får också bidra till att väcka våra symboler och element till liv med rytm, energi och överraskning.


Om rollen
Som 2D Character Animator hos oss blir du navet i vårt animationsarbete. Du kommer att:
Skapa karaktärsanimationer som förmedlar känsla, attityd och berättelse – från skiss till spel.
Arbeta i After Effects (och gärna Spine) för att skapa levande rörelser, uttryck och respons.
Ge liv åt symboler, objekt och visuella effekter som förstärker spelets ton och rytm.
Bidra till och utveckla animationsspråket för våra slot-titlar – både i karaktär och helhetskänsla.
Samarbeta nära art, design och utveckling för att väva ihop rörelse, form och spelkänsla.



Vem du är – personlighet
Du nöjer dig inte med “good enough”. Du testar, justerar och tänjer på gränserna tills rörelsen känns självklar – och överraskar både teamet och spelaren.
Du har ett kreativt driv och en envishet som får dig att fortsätta tills det klickar – med en fingertoppskänsla som gör skillnaden mellan bra och magiskt.
För att lyckas i rollen ser vi att du har:
Erfarenhet av 2D-animation i spel, film eller interaktiva produktioner.
Starka kunskaper i After Effects, och gärna erfarenhet av Spine.
En showreel som visar förståelse för tajming, vikt, emotion och karaktär.
Svenska och engelska i tal och skrift.
En relevant examen är meriterande, men passion och hantverk väger tyngre.



Varför Hold Your Hat?
???? Inflytande: att få arbeta i ett litet team där du kan vara med och påverka.
???? Kreativ frihet: vi uppmuntrar modiga idéer och experiment.
???? Korta vägar: från idé till spel på rekordtid – test, iterera, wow.
???? Kontor på Bryggargatan: vi sitter tillsammans – där idé ? test ? magi händer varje dag.


Ansök
Låter det som något för dig?
För att vi ska kunna göra en rättvis och kvalitativ bedömning vill vi gärna att din showreel fokuserar på karaktärsanimation – rörelse, vikt, tajming, emotion och uttryck. Det är sådant som hjälper oss se hur du skulle kunna bidra i vår värld av 2D-animation och slots.
Skicka in din showreel och CV redan idag!
Rekryteringsprocessen innefattar intervjuer (digitalt och på plats) samt ett arbetsprov. Vi anställer så snart vi hittar rätt person – så vänta inte! Visa mindre
