Posted yesterday

Worldwide

Summary

Hi! We're a small team behind several established YouTube channels, and we're launching a new animated channel in the ASMR / relaxation space (calm, cozy videos people use to sleep and unwind). We're looking for one or two 2D animators to build it with us from day one. This is not a "receive tasks, deliver files" role. You'd be the first person on the team, working directly with the founder: helping design the channel's original 2D character (anime-inspired, cute style), animating the loops and scenes that make up our long relaxing videos and Shorts, and giving your opinion on how the videos should look and where the channel goes. As the channel grows, you'd help bring in and lead more animators. What we're looking for Solid 2D character animation, with whatever tools you're comfortable with (Toon Boom, After Effects, Clip Studio, Blender Grease Pencil, Procreate, etc.) Available full-time or close to it, and interested in a stable, long-term project — not a one-off Motivated, with ideas of your own. A big-studio résumé is not needed: talent and drive matter more to us Knowing ASMR content is a plus, not a requirement What we offer USD 1,000/month, paid monthly, long-term 100% remote, flexible hours Real creative input from day one and room to grow with the project Immediate start To apply, just send us: A link to your portfolio or reel (YouTube, Instagram, ArtStation, Drive — anything works) One animation you made that you're proud of, and 2–3 lines on what you did in it Do you watch ASMR? If you have a favorite channel (ASMR or animation), drop the link (optional) We look at every single portfolio and set up a short call with the people we'd like to meet. If you're on the fence, apply anyway. Puedes escribirnos en español si te resulta más cómodo — our team works in Spanish and English.
