About Massive Brush Studios
Massive Brush Studios builds games that feel great to play. Animation is a core part of that feel — from the weight of a character's footstep to the read of a combat combo. We're looking for an animator who combines traditional craft with a modern AI-assisted workflow to deliver more, faster, without sacrificing quality.
The Role
This is not a role for someone who wants to avoid AI tools. We actively want an animator who has integrated AI-assisted motion tools into their daily workflow — whether that's Cascadeur for physics-based animation, Radical/Plask for motion capture cleanup, Deep Motion for pose estimation, or similar tools — and uses them to accelerate output while maintaining quality control.
You'll be responsible for creating, cleaning, and implementing character animations in UE5 or Unity — from locomotion and combat to cutscene and cinematic work. Strong traditional animation fundamentals are still required; AI tools amplify your skills, they don't replace them.
What You'll Do
- Create character animations: locomotion sets, combat, interactions, idles, transitions
- Use AI-assisted tools (Cascadeur, Radical, Plask, DeepMotion, or equivalent) to accelerate animation production
- Clean and polish AI-generated or mocap animation to production quality
- Implement animations inside UE5 or Unity — blend trees, state machines, animation graphs
- Work with riggers to ensure animations play back correctly on provided rigs
- Collaborate with game designers on feel, timing, and game-feel feedback loops
- Optimize animation assets for target platform budgets
- Contribute to defining the AI animation workflow for the team

What We're Looking For
REQUIREMENTS ✓
- 3+ years of game animation experience, with shipped title credits

- Proficient in Maya or Blender for animation
- Experience implementing animations in UE5 or Unity (blend trees, state machines)
- Business-fluent English · Same-day responsiveness
STRONG PLUS POINTS ★
- Mocap pipeline experience (cleanup, retargeting, editing)
- Procedural animation or physics-based animation systems
- Facial animation and blend shape/morph target work
- Cinematic/cutscene animation experience
- UE5 Control Rig or Sequencer experience
- Has experimented with or built AI-assisted animation pipelines for a team

About the AI Workflow Requirement
We're not asking if you've heard of Cascadeur. We want to see how you actually use AI tools in production. In your application, tell us: which tools you use, how they fit into your pipeline, and what the before/after looks like in terms of speed or quality. Show us your workflow, not just your output.
Communication Requirements
- Fluent English — written and spoken, used daily
- Same-day responsiveness during working hours — replies within the business day, not 24–48 hrs
- Proactive communication — flag blockers early, don't wait to be asked
- Async-friendly — comfortable with written updates, Slack/Discord, and video calls
What We Offer
- Fully remote — async-first environment
- Salary range: Up to 1500$
- A team that actively supports and invests in modern AI tooling
- Flexible hours with clear deliverables
How to Apply
- Email: maithanhnam10@gmail.com— Subject: 'Game Animator — [Your Name]'
- Include a portfolio or demo reel — game animation required (not just film/TV)
- Describe your AI animation workflow: which tools you use and how
- If possible, include a before/after example showing AI-assisted vs. final polished animation
