We are looking for a 3D Character & Prop Rigging Artist to join our team and help bring the characters, creatures, weapons, props, and gameplay elements of our upcoming 3D action-adventure hack-and-slash game to life.

You will be responsible for creating and maintaining high-quality rigs for both characters and non-character assets — essentially, anything in the game that needs to move, bend, articulate, or be animated.

You will work closely with our Character Artists, Animators, Environment Artists, Designers, and Engineers to create rigs that are intuitive to use, visually robust, and ready for production in Unreal Engine.
