[Long-term] Expert AI Animator - Anime Production
Worldwide
This is one of the most exciting roles we are building out. If you have been experimenting with animation tools and quietly thinking "this could be something massive with the right team behind it," this is that team. As our Expert AI Animator, you are at the center of how we make anime. You will be working with the latest tools, shaping our production pipeline, and helping us figure out the fastest and best way to get stunning episodes out the door. There is real creative ownership here, and real room to grow as we do. We are working toward being able to produce a full episode in 1-2 weeks with the right team and workflow. You will be a huge part of making that happen. What You'll Do - Generate and refine animation sequences across our production pipeline - Analyze output frame by frame to catch errors including warped features, inconsistent character designs, motion artifacts, and off-model moments, then fix them - Collaborate closely with our Lead Anime Director to keep visuals consistent and sharp across every scene and episode - Help build, improve, and document our internal animation process as we grow - Stay on top of new animation tools and flag anything worth bringing into the workflow - Potentially contribute to building our own internal animation tooling, optimized specifically for how we work What We're Looking For - Hands-on, real experience with animation tools. We want to see what you have actually made, even if it is fan work or personal projects - A strong eye for detail, specifically knowing what anime should look like frame by frame and where things tend to break down - Someone who can move fast without sacrificing the quality that viewers will actually notice - Comfortable working in a small, high-trust team where your input genuinely shapes how things are done - Background in traditional animation, illustration, or digital art is a plus - Active in indie animation communities on Reddit, Webtoon, Discord, or similar spaces is a plus Why This Role is Worth Getting Excited About You will not be a cog in a machine here. You will be one of the first people helping build something from the ground up, with real creative ownership, a team that genuinely cares about the work, and stories worth telling. If that sounds like your kind of challenge, we want to hear from you. Why Work With Us - Fully remote work - Pay raises and bonuses for strong performance - Australia-based company with PH-friendly hours. No graveyard shifts! - Long-term role with full-time potential - Work with a growing e-commerce brand in a fun anime-inspired industry with a strong niche audience - Role-specific opportunity: Be the driving force behind the animation output of an original anime production, setting the quality standard and helping shape the animation workflow from the ground up.
