Who We Are

Founded in 2023, Small Axe Studios is 2K's newest stand-alone studio, built to push the boundaries of game development and bring 2K's next groundbreaking sports franchise to life. Headquartered in Burnaby, we are assembling a world-class team of visionaries, builders, and passionate gamers who thrive on creative collaboration, technical excellence, and bold ideas. At Small Axe Studios, we believe big things start with sharp focus-and we're crafting an exceptional, player-first experience from the ground up. If you're ready to tackle unique challenges, leave your mark on a brand-new IP, and help shape the future of interactive sports entertainment, we want you on our team!

What We Need

As a Senior Technical Animator at 2K Sports Lab, you will help bridge the gap between our engineering, animation and art teams through technical precision, anatomical insight, and creative problem-solving. This role requires proven experience and artistic versatility to handle a variety of technical animation challenges. You'll help shape the character rigging pipeline, build high-quality body and facial rigs with clean skinning for both gameplay and cinematics, and ensure they integrate seamlessly into Unreal Engine. 

What You Will Do
  • Design, create, maintain and optimize character body and facial rigs for gameplay and cinematic assets.
  • Define and implement asset binding and skinning pipeline to support the Character Art and Animation teams.
  • Collaborate with animators to ensure rigs meet animation quality and usability needs.
  • Build and maintain body and facial rigging pipelines and tools, including FACS-based facial systems.
  • Build and maintain animation mocap processing pipelines and animation databases.
  • Work with engineering to ensure character assets function efficiently in runtime environments.
Who We Think Will Be A Great Fit
  • 6+ years of experience as a Technical Animator or Rigging TD, in games or related industries.
  • Strong knowledge of rigging and skinning for both body and facial systems.
  • Solid understanding of human anatomy, deformation, and animation principles.
  • Proficiency in Maya and MotionBuilder.
  • Strong scripting ability in Python (C++ is a plus).
  • Proven experience integrating character rigs into Unreal Engine.
  • Familiarity with Control Rig, Metahuman, and Unreal animation systems.
Beneficial Qualifications
  • Experience in character simulation (cloth, muscle, hair).
  • Familiarity with motion capture pipelines
  • Experience developing rigging tools or facial solvers for real-time performance.
  • Experience with Cloth rigging and simulation
