We're looking for a skilled Spine animator to bring our slot game symbols and effects to life — win animations, idle loops, and bonus transitions that make every spin feel satisfying.

Responsibilities

- Rig and animate reel symbols for idle loops, win celebrations, and anticipation effects
- Create bonus round transitions and feature-trigger animations
- Build seamless, loopable idle animations that hold up over long play sessions without feeling repetitive
- Animate UI feedback (button presses, win counters, coin bursts) to match the game's overall feel
- Optimize rigs and animations for mobile performance (bone count, texture atlases, file size)
- Work closely with the art team to ensure animation timing and style match the game's visual identity
- Export and integrate animations into our game engine (Spine runtime / [your engine, e.g. Unity, PixiJS, custom])

Requirements

- Proven experience animating in Spine (professional or portfolio-level slot/casual game work)




- Solid grasp of animation principles — squash & stretch, anticipation, follow-through, easing
- Experience building efficient, mobile-optimized rigs (mesh deformation, weighted bones, clean hierarchies)
- Ability to create satisfying "juice" — feedback that makes small wins feel good and big wins feel huge
- Comfortable working from static art (symbols/characters) and turning it into a rig from scratch

Nice to have

- Experience with slot-specific animation patterns (anticipation holds, symbol explosions, multiplier reveals, free-spin transitions)
- Familiarity with Rive or After Effects/Lottie as a secondary pipeline
- Experience optimizing for low-end mobile devices (draw calls, atlas packing)

Pay: ₹23,000.00 - ₹38,000.00 per month
