Job Title: 3D Animator
Location: Remote
Language: English
Working Days: Monday through Friday

Working Hours: Eastern Standard Time (EST): 8:30 AM – 5:30 PM

About the Role:
We’re looking for a technically skilled and creatively driven 3D Animator to manage full-pipeline animation projects from concept to final delivery. This role demands precision, speed, and ownership across modeling, animation, rendering, and post-production. You’ll collaborate with creative and product teams to deliver polished, production-ready visuals that elevate our brand and product storytelling.

Key Responsibilities:

• Manage the complete 3D workflow from start to finish, including:

– Modeling
– Texturing
– Rigging (if needed)
– Animation
– Lighting & rendering
– Compositing
– Basic VFX
– Sound integration

• Deliver fully polished, production-ready final videos
• Build custom 3D models from scratch — not reliant on pre-made internet assets
• Apply detailed textures that enhance realism and brand consistency
• Animate product visuals with precision and creativity
• Execute lighting setups and render scenes for clarity, performance, and polish
• Integrate basic VFX elements to enhance storytelling
• Work closely with creative, product, and marketing teams to align animation with brand goals
• Communicate progress, challenges, and delivery timelines clearly and proactively
• Take full ownership of assigned animation projects
• Deliver high-quality work on tight timelines without compromising detail or consistency
• Maintain organized project files and adhere to brand guidelines

Requirements:

• Strong experience in VFX simulations, especially water-like fluids and similar effects
• Ability to model assets independently — not reliant on pre-made libraries
• Proficiency in 3D animation tools (e.g., Blender, Cinema 4D, Maya, Houdini)
• Understanding of lighting, rendering, and post-production workflows
• Strong visual storytelling instincts and attention to detail
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple animation projects

Preferred Qualifications:

• Character animation (nice-to-have, but not essential for current workload)
• Experience with motion graphics or compositing tools (e.g., After Effects, Nuke)
• Familiarity with product visualization for eCommerce or tech brands
• Creativity — someone who can bring original visual ideas and creative thinking into the animation process
• Professional showreel — not mandatory, but definitely a plus if it demonstrates versatility and polish
