Position Summary
We are seeking a Character Designer to join our pioneering team in creating animated content using experimental GenAI-native production pipelines.

  • Explore and create a variety of character design options that fit into the story/world.
  • Translate references to visually develop a character's personality, mood, and tone.
  • Partner with technical leads to refine and troubleshoot character models, ensuring consistency in fidelity, proportion, and emotional range across all shots.
  • Develop character expressions, turnarounds, and production assets.
  • Present work in a clear and organized manner that demonstrates intent.
  • Work flexibly to troubleshoot and address notes.
  • Adhere to the production schedule and deliver completed assignments on time.
  • Collaborate with grace, humility, inclusion, and open-mindedness.
  • Maintain open dialogue with production management about any potential roadblocks or concerns in delivering assignments on time.
  • Provide proactive, upward feedback on pipeline tools and workflow scalability to help refine our emerging production processes.
  • Translate creative notes into technical, actionable items, demonstrating a willingness to experiment and pivot as production requirements evolve.

Qualifications
  • 2+ years of character design experience on series, feature films, shorts, development/production OR a portfolio that demonstrates a strong understanding of character design for production settings.
  • Excellence in draftsmanship with a working knowledge of anatomy and/or volumetric drawing.
  • Advanced working knowledge of digital drawing tools.
  • Broad knowledge of artistic styles and the latest technology is essential.
  • Knowledge of AI tools, Cursor and other agents, and workflows a plus.
  • Samples and/or credits demonstrating excellence in character design.
  • Excellent verbal, written, and e-social communication skills.
  • Experience working within an iterative, agile creative environment where rapid prototyping and feedback loops are part of the daily workflow.
  • Demonstrated experience or strong interest in AI-assisted creative workflows, specifically in how AI can accelerate character development without replacing the artist's creative vision.
