About TinyPal

TinyPal is an AI-powered parenting app helping parents navigate child development through experiences grounded in developmental science. We’re building Tinu , a friendly digital companion who interacts with children through simple games and activities.

The Role

We’re looking for a 3D Character Artist & Animator to bring Tinu to life. We already have the visual direction and mascot inspiration; you’ll turn this into a polished, expressive, mobile-ready character.

What You’ll Work On

- Create and refine Tinu’s 3D character, proportions, materials, and textures based on our references.
- Develop expressive faces, poses, and emotions such as happiness, sadness, curiosity, listening, and excitement.
- Rig and prepare the character for basic animation and interaction.
- Optimise the model for mobile use .
- Collaborate with the product/design team and iterate based on feedback.

What We’re Looking For





- Experience creating 3D characters/mascots , ideally for apps, games, or interactive experiences.
- Strong understanding of character design, stylisation, proportions, and expressions .
- Proficiency in Blender, Maya, Cinema 4D, ZBrush, or similar .
- Experience with rigging and animation-ready characters .
- Solid 3D character portfolio and ability to work from references.
- Comfortable with feedback and iteration.

Nice to Have

- Experience with children’s products, education, parenting, or wellness.
- Basic understanding of Unity/Unreal or mobile asset pipelines .
- Experience with facial animation or lip-sync.

Note: This is not a game-development role . The focus is on creating Tinu and making the character ready for basic animation and use within the app.
