Animator

Homa is a global mobile game developer and publisher creating games people love. We partner with studios and internally develop games, having launched over 80 titles, reached over 2 billion downloads, and seen our game All in Hole break into the global top‑50 grossing charts. These are milestones, not the finish line. With deep expertise in product and technology, we built Homa Lab, our proprietary platform that gives developers the market intelligence, data tools, and game tech, with AI built‑in, to find product‑market fit fast and scale mass‑market games into lasting experiences players enjoy for years. This is our flywheel: Homa Lab helps studios spot the right ideas early, turn them into games quickly, and reach millions of players. Every launch brings back data and insights that fuel the next hit, making each turn of the loop faster, smarter, and more likely to win. AI supercharges this process, running through everything we do, from everyday tasks to our guiding principles. What powers the loop is talent density. 220+ people from 30+ nationalities, bringing expertise from the world's best studios and companies. We uphold ambition, curiosity, humility, and focus, and deliver with speed, excellence, and candor. Mission As an Animator, you'll play a key role in shaping the motion identity and visual feel of All in Hole, one of Homa's flagship casual puzzle worlds. You will report directly to the Art Director and collaborate closely with 2D Artists, UI/UX Designers, Game Designers, and Unity Developers to bring the game's world and mechanics to life through expressive, satisfying animation. Responsibilities Create expressive 2D character, prop, and UI animations using Spine and Unity, ensuring every movement feels alive, polished, and rhythmically engaging. Collaborate cross‑functionally with artists, designers, and engineers to prototype and refine gameplay motion, ensuring it enhances both clarity and emotional feedback. Define and maintain animation consistency across the live game, balancing performance optimization and aesthetic quality. Inject personality and rhythm into every loop and transition, making even the simplest animations oddly satisfying and memorable. Occasionally support marketing and live‑ops teams by adapting in‑game assets into motion loops and ad‑ready animations. Qualifications Proven experience with Spine and Unity, from rig setup to final animation integration. A strong sense of timing, spacing, rhythm, and weight—able to make interactions feel tactile, coherent, and emotionally resonant. Deep understanding of animation principles such as anticipation, follow‑through, easing, and appeal. A collaborative mindset, eager to co‑create with game designers and artists to push the emotional and interactive quality of gameplay. Bonus: experience in casual or stylized games, or a passion for music‑driven motion and "oddly satisfying" animation loops.
