[Hiring] Senior Spine Animator @Homa

Role Description

As a Senior Spine Animator, you’ll play a key role in defining the motion identity and emotional feel of our game. You will report directly to the Art Director and partner closely with:

• 2D Artists
• UI/UX Designers
• Game Designers
• Tech Artists
• Unity Developers

Your main responsibilities will include:

• Create high-quality 2D character, prop, VFX, and UI animations using Spine and Unity, ensuring every movement feels polished, intentional, and emotionally engaging.
• Own the animation pipeline from rig setup to in-engine integration, guaranteeing smooth implementation, performance optimization, and technical consistency.
• Collaborate cross-functionally to prototype and refine gameplay motion, ensuring animation enhances feedback, readability, and overall game feel.
• Define and maintain animation quality standards across features and live content, balancing aesthetic excellence with mobile performance constraints.
• Inject personality, rhythm, and weight into loops and transitions, turning simple interactions into memorable, satisfying moments.

This is a great opportunity to own and elevate the animation craft of a live game, influence quality standards at scale, and leave a lasting creative footprint on millions of players.

Qualifications

• +5 years of 2D animation experience with Spine and Unity - from rig creation to advanced animation systems and final in-engine integration.
• Deep understanding of animation principles - anticipation, timing, spacing, easing, follow-through, squash and stretch, and appeal.
• A sharp eye for rhythm, weight, and emotional clarity - able to make interactions feel tactile, satisfying, and expressive.
• A proactive and ownership-driven mindset - comfortable setting quality standards and mentoring others.
• Bonus: Experience in casual or stylized games, contribution to animation pipelines or systems, or a passion for humor-driven and “oddly satisfying” animation loops.
