UK Remote (Hybrid once Manchester office opens)

12-month fixed-term contract with a view to permanent employment
(Permanent role may commence sooner as the company continues to grow)

£28,000 – £30,000 per annum

Founded in 2024, we’re a fast-growing game studio focused on creating visually rich, high-quality slot game experiences. After a strong first year, the studio has recently become profitable and is now investing in building out a small but highly skilled creative team.

This is an exciting opportunity to join early, make a real impact, and help shape how the animation function grows as the studio scales.

We’re looking for a Spine Animator to join our close-knit art team and help bring our games to life. This is a pure animation role, ideal for someone who loves hands-on animation work and thrives in a fast-paced startup environment.

You’ll be working day-to-day with other artists, animating pre-made assets and adapting to established styles and workflows. The pace is quick, priorities can change, and every day brings something new — perfect for someone who enjoys variety and ownership.

The role is currently fully remote within the UK, with plans to move to a hybrid setup in Manchester as the team continues to expand.

• Creating high-quality Spine 2D animations for slot game symbols, characters, and backgrounds

• Animating pre-built artwork while staying true to the studio’s visual style

• Using bones, mesh deformation, and advanced rigging techniques

• Collaborating closely with a small team of artists and contributing ideas

• Working in a fast-moving production environment with changing priorities

• Ensuring animations are optimised for real-time game performance

• Monday to Friday

• Salary of £28,000 – £30,000

• 28 days holiday plus UK bank holidays

• Fully remote working (hybrid in future)

• A chance to join a studio early and grow alongside it

• High level of creative ownership and influence

• A collaborative, no-ego team culture

• 3 years’ experience working with Spine 2D

• Strong grasp of 2D animation principles

• Confident using bones and mesh deformation

• Experience with Adobe Creative Suite or similar tools

• Comfortable working very closely with other artists

• Strong communication skills — open, honest, and not afraid to speak up

• Understanding of PixiJS, Unity, or Cocos2D

• British citizen (right to work in the UK)

• Experience working on slot or casino games

• Background in the gambling or iGaming industry
