Job Description

Crazy Tooth Studio is seeking a Senior Spine Animator with deep experience in the online casino / iGaming industry .

This is not a narrow “just animate what you’re handed” role. We’re looking for someone who can help drive game quality end-to-end — contributing not only animation, but also game feel, pacing, polish, and production execution.

If you’ve shipped casino titles, understand what makes slot-style games feel premium, and can deliver high-quality animation at speed — we want to talk.

Portfolio required.

What You’ll Do

• Create high-quality, production-ready Spine animations for slot and wager-based games
• (characters, symbols, UI elements, feature effects, transitions, win celebrations, etc.)
• Work closely with art, design, and engineering to enhance game feel , pacing, and player experience
• Animate both 2D and 3D content , including hybrid workflows where needed
• Support production by rapidly iterating: strong animation comps in hours, polished animation sets in days
• Help define and maintain animation standards and reusable systems for consistent delivery
• Collaborate across the full game pipeline — from early concept through final integration and polish
• Assist with technical animation needs (rigging, exports, runtime performance considerations)
• Use AI tools where appropriate to accelerate iteration and improve output quality

What We’re Looking For

• 5–7 years of experience in the online casino / iGaming industry
• Strong experience shipping slot or wager-based games
• Advanced proficiency in Spine (rigging, skinning, animation, clean exports, iteration workflows)
• Proven ability to animate characters and effects that feel snappy, readable, and rewarding
• Strong understanding of timing, anticipation, weight, and animation principles — applied to game UX
• Experience animating both 2D and 3D content
• Ability to create and/or modify 3D models as part of production needs
• Strong understanding of real-time performance constraints and optimization considerations
• Proficiency with common tools (examples: Photoshop, After Effects, Blender, Maya, etc.)
• Highly prolific, execution-focused, and comfortable in fast-paced production environments
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset

You’ll Thrive Here If You

• Move fast without sacrificing quality
• Think like a game-maker, not just a task-doer
• Enjoy collaborating across art, design, and engineering
• Take ownership and deliver
• Want to make a visible impact on a growing studio

Benefits and Compensation

• Medical Insurance
• Dental Insurance
• Vision Insurance
• Paid Time Off

Pay Range: $70,000-$100,000

Portfolio link required (ArtStation, Vimeo, reel link, or similar).
