    What You'll Do

    Epic Games is searching for Gameplay Animators to join our team to work on our collaboration with Disney.

  • Create character-specific animations such as gameplay animations in Unreal Engine using our Control Rig toolset
  • Take animation from initial concept through implementation in Unreal Engine 5 using our animation blueprint system
  • Drive collaboration across disciplines, including Production, Design, Technical Animation, Technical Design, and implementation to help drive the style and feel of best-in-class animation
  • Collaborate with leads in a dailies style critique environment, find optimal solutions, and address basic issues as they arise
  • Refine animations and gameplay feel as needed to get the best quality animation within the timeline
  • What we're looking for

  • A strong animation reel showing expertise in key-framed character and creature animation
  • Relevant experience in both gameplay and cinematic animation
  • Good instincts for realistic and stylized motions
  • Familiarity with Maya and Unreal Engine 5 art pipeline
  • Understanding of modeling, skinning, and rigging
  • Experience working with Motion Capture is a plus
  • Experience with working on hard surface or vehicle animation is a plus
  • EPIC JOB + EPIC BENEFITS = EPIC LIFE
