Job Description
We are a production company with a strong creative team and a pipeline of children's animated content in development. We are looking for skilled AI animators to join us on an ongoing basis across multiple projects, starting with our current series in production.
This is not a traditional frame-by-frame animation role. We work with hybrid AI production techniques to deliver animation efficiently, and we need people who are already working this way — people who are genuinely excited about AI animation tools, who keep up with the rapidly evolving landscape, and who can demonstrate results they have already produced.
We price our work by the minute of finished animation. If that model suits how you work, we want to hear from you.
What we are looking for: A background in the animation industry combined with hands-on experience using current AI animation tools. You know what the best tools are right now, you are already using them, and you can show us work you have made with them. Traditional animation experience is a plus, but it is your AI output that matters most here.
Communication matters. You will be working with the director. Spoken English is essential — we need to be able to talk through creative decisions in real time. If you communicate only in written English, this role is likely not a good fit.
We have a strong script, a strong team, and a lot of work coming. We are looking for people who want to grow with us over time, not just complete a single job.
To apply: Share your portfolio or reel showing AI-animated work you have produced. Tell us which tools you are currently using and why. And confirm that you are comfortable with spoken English communication.
