• Manage slot animations (switching images, toggling elements on / off);
• Configure export settings for different technical requirements;
• Collaborate closely with artists and developers to ensure smooth integration of animations into the game;
• Actively participate in creative tasks and bring new ideas to the table.

Ideal Profile

• 2+ years of experience in character and in-game animation for online slots;
