Job Summary

The Principal Technical Animator (Gameplay) will help define the technical vision, architectural framework, and long-term strategy for character animation integration across the studio. In this highly influential role, you will champion innovation, driving the adoption of cutting-edge technologies to ensure our games achieve world-class animation quality and responsiveness. You will serve as a technical authority on gameplay animation, solving the studio’s complex R&D challenges while collaborating with design, animation and engineering to establish future-proof pipelines. While not a people manager, you will inspire, mentor, and elevate the technical capabilities of the entire animation department.

Duties and Responsibilities

Architect and oversee the high-level design of gameplay animation systems, ensuring scalability, performance, and seamless integration across complex real-time systems.
Drive R&D initiatives to evaluate and implement cutting-edge animation technologies (e.g., advanced Motion Matching, machine learning/AI animation, next-gen physics).
Partner with Engineering and Tech Animation leadership to implement project-wide animation roadmaps and toolsets.
Solve deep, complex runtime bugs and drive animation optimisation efforts to meet strict performance and memory budgets.
Define and document technical standards, best practices, and pipeline workflows for the wider technical animation team.
Collaborate closely with Design and Animation leads to heavily iterate on and perfect 3C mechanics (character, camera, controls), maximizing game feel.
Actively mentor and upskill senior and mid-level technical animators through code/blueprint reviews and hands-on guidance.

Essential Skills, Attributes and Experience

Extensive proven experience architecting and integrating gameplay animation systems for AAA titles using Unreal Engine.
Master-level expertise in Unreal Engine’s animation suite (Anim Blueprints, Motion Matching, Control Rig, State Machines, and Sequencer).
Deep technical understanding of low-level animation concepts, including runtime optimisation, memory management, and threading for animation.
Exceptional cross-discipline communication skills, with a proven track record of aligning Art, Design, and Engineering directors on complex technical visions.
Expertise in feature breakdown and scoping, with the ability to translate abstract creative pillars into robust, production-ready plans..
A profound understanding of gameplay mechanics, game feel, and the mathematical principles behind smooth character movement and physics.
A portfolio or reel demonstrating a history of solving highly complex, innovative technical animation challenges in shipped titles.

Highly Desirable

Strong proficiency in C++ for extending Unreal Engine’s animation system, alongside Python for pipeline tool automation.
Experience contributing to proprietary engine tools or custom modifications to Unreal's core animation code.
Production experience with advanced DCC tools, including Maya API, MotionBuilder, or Houdini for runtime or pipeline integration.
Background in traditional animation or motion capture data manipulation to better bridge the gap between art and code.
