About the project
We’re looking for a skilled 2D Spine Animator to join our team. The project covers symbol animations, win/lose effects, background and UI elements, all rebuilt with a new art direction while preserving smooth, polished motion that fits a modern slots experience.
This is a project-based engagement: you’ll join for the duration of the reskin, work closely with art and dev leads, and deliver a defined set of animated assets ready for integration.
What you’ll be doing
Creating skeletal (Spine 2D) animations for slot symbols, win presentations, and bonus features
Animating UI elements: buttons, panels, banners, and reward popups
Producing frame-by-frame and rig-based VFX (wins, transitions, idle loops)
Optimizing rigs and animations for performance (mesh deformation, draw call reduction, vertex/atlas optimization) to fit mobile and web performance budgets
Collaborating with artists and developers to integrate animations into the game engine (Unity / PixiJS)
Maintaining visual consistency with the new art direction across all reskinned assets
What we expect
2–4+ years of experience as a 2D Spine Animator, ideally in slots, casual, or casino game projects
Strong portfolio showing skeletal character/symbol animation and UI motion
Hands-on experience with Spine 2D (mesh deformation, skinning, multi-track setups)
Understanding of performance optimization for mobile/web (draw calls, vertices, texture atlases)
Familiarity with Unity or PixiJS integration pipelines
Good sense of timing, weight, and “juiciness” — slots live and die by how satisfying the win animations feel
Ability to work independently within a project timeline and deliver on agreed milestones
Nice to have
Experience with frame-by-frame VFX (Photoshop, After Effects, or similar)
Previous reskin project experience (adapting animation to a new art style without redesigning the rig)
Experience with isometric or 2.5D rigs
What we offer
Project-based cooperation with a clear scope and timeline
Remote work, flexible schedule within project deadlines
Direct collaboration with experienced art and dev leads
Opportunity to work on a live, monetizing slots product
