Job description

About Us

At BONES, we combine cutting-edge technology with a deep understanding of human movement to power the next generation of digital experiences.

We’ve had the privilege of co-creating AAA game productions, prestigious film projects, and conducting research into the nature of motion.

Our work extends beyond traditional animation. Our flagship achievement is creating the world’s largest human motion dataset, which we continuously develop, refine, and license to some of the biggest technology companies in the world.

Today, BONES is redefining how machines learn to move - providing the data that trains digital humans and soon, robots that coexist with us in the physical world.

Data is at the core of everything we deliver - and we need someone to make sure it flows, scales, and stays reliable.

That’s where you come in.

Who we’re looking for

We’re looking for a data engineer who will own the flow of data across our studio - from capture metadata to the final ML-ready datasets we deliver to clients. You’ll build the infrastructure that keeps a growing volume of motion data organized, traceable, and easy to work with.

If you like building pipelines that actually get used, and turning messy data into clear answers, this role is for you.

• Fluency in speaking and writing in English

Nice to Have

• Experience with 3D animation processing and asset creation pipelines

• Knowledge of animation workflows

• Experience preparing datasets for ML training

• Background in gamedev, VFX or robotics
