  3. Contribute to first-person animation and its relationship with full-body movement, weapon handling, and camera feedback.

  4. Partner with designers and programmers to refine movement responsiveness, action timing, transitions, and interruption behavior while preserving believable weight and physicality.

  5. Proven experience creating and implementing gameplay animation for AAA first-person shooters, with clear ownership of features or animation systems.

  6. A strong portfolio demonstrating body mechanics, weight, timing, posing, and a clear understanding of responsive gameplay animation.

  7. Practical experience taking animation assets into a game engine and iterating on their behavior in playable builds.

  8. Working knowledge of animation graphs, state machines, blending, additive animation, and gameplay-driven transitions.
