    What we're looking for

    We're looking for an experienced Animator to join our Rust team. You'll be animating characters in both 1st and 3rd person, so a strong understanding of body mechanics is key.

In this role you will report to the animation lead.

    The role will see you taking your animations from creation to in-engine, so knowledge of game pipelines is integral. At times you may also be required to work between multiple projects helping in our next-generation game creation.
