Role Overview : Game Animator

We are seeking a highly talented, expressive, and collaborative Game Animator to join our growing studio in Jakarta. In this role, you will be a vital creative and technical force, helping to bring characters, environment props, and crucial gameplay interactions to life.

As a Game Animator at Tripledot, you will not work in a silo. You will operate at the intersection of art, design, and technology, collaborating closely with Artists, Game Designers, Technical Artists, and Software Engineers to create polished, high-fidelity, and perfectly optimized animations specifically tailored for mobile platforms.

Your core mandate will involve producing top-tier animations, supporting character rigging and skinning workflows, and ensuring that every movement feels responsive, appealing, fluid, and perfectly aligned with the broader creative vision of the game.

Key Responsibilities

Your day-to-day responsibilities will span across creative execution, technical implementation, and cross-functional collaboration. You will be expected to:

1. Animation Production & Implementation

• Create 3D Assets: Design, animate, and implement high-quality 3D animations for main characters, NPCs, environmental props, and interactive gameplay elements.
• Diverse Animation States: Craft a wide array of animation states, including subtle idle movements, expressive locomotion, impactful combat sequences, and dynamic UI-related animations that enhance user feedback.
• Maintain Aesthetic Appeal: Ensure all animations retain excellent weight, timing, and appeal, matching the specific stylized or casual aesthetic of the target project.

2. Rigging & Technical Setup

• Rigging & Skinning: Take ownership of rigging and skinning characters, creatures, and complex assets when required, ensuring clean deformations and highly efficient skeleton structures.
• Optimization for Mobile: Partner with Technical Artists to optimize animations, ensuring they meet the strict performance, memory, and draw-call constraints typical of mobile hardware.
• Unity Integration: Integrate your completed animations directly into the Unity game engine. You will set up and maintain Animator Controllers and construct robust, bug‑free animation state machines.

3. Collaboration, Iteration, & Quality Assurance

• Cross‑Functional Design Alignment: Collaborate with Game Designers and Producers to iterate on animations based on gameplay mechanics, user testing data, and player experience feedback.
• In‑Engine Troubleshooting: Proactively identify, debug, and resolve animation glitches, rigging bugs, and implementation issues directly within the Unity engine.
• Pipeline and Workflow Standards: Follow established project pipelines, adhere strictly to naming conventions, maintain organized file structures, and actively contribute to optimizing the studio’s overall animation workflows.

Required Skills, Knowledge, and Expertise

To thrive in this role, candidates must possess a blend of artistic mastery and technical execution, backed by a strong collaborative mindset.

Minimum Qualifications

• Industry Experience: A minimum of 3+ years of professional experience working as an Animator within the gaming industry, preferably with a proven track record in mobile game development.
• Animation Principles: A masterful command of the core 12 principles of animation—with a particular emphasis on timing, spacing, weight, exaggeration, anticipation, and arcs.
• Software Mastery: High proficiency in industry‑standard 3D content creation tools, specifically Blender or Autodesk Maya.
• Technical Unity Competency: Solid hands‑on experience navigating the Unity engine, managing animation clips, and designing complex Animator state machines.
• Rigging Expertise: Demonstrable experience handling character rigging and skinning workflows for low‑to‑medium poly assets.

Soft Skills & Professional Attributes

• Problem‑Solving Skills: Strong critical‑thinking and troubleshooting skills to fix rigging errors or state machine logic in‑engine.
• Communication and Feedback: Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills, with a proven ability to accept constructive feedback openly and pivot through multiple creative iterations.
• Pipeline Discipline: A disciplined approach to following studio technical constraints, asset organization, and file naming conventions.

Preferred Pluses (Nice‑to‑Haves)

• Experience developing art assets for stylized or casual mobile games (e.g., puzzle, casual arcade, or puzzle RPG titles).
• Foundational knowledge or production experience utilizing Spine 2D animation software is a significant plus.
