What is a remote video game animator?

A remote video game animator is a professional who creates animated graphics and movements for video games while working from a location outside the primary office, often from home. They collaborate with game designers, programmers, and other artists to bring characters, environments, and objects to life through animation. Remote animators use specialized software to design realistic or stylized movements that enhance gameplay and storytelling. This role requires strong artistic skills, technical proficiency, and effective communication to work efficiently with remote teams. The flexibility of remote work allows video game animators to contribute to projects from anywhere in the world.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a remote video game animator?

To thrive as a Remote Video Game Animator, you need strong artistic skills, proficiency in animation principles, and typically a degree in animation, game design, or a related field. Expertise in industry-standard tools like Autodesk Maya, Blender, or Adobe Creative Suite, along with familiarity with game engines such as Unity or Unreal Engine, is essential. Excellent communication, time management, and self-motivation are crucial soft skills for collaborating effectively in a remote environment. These skills ensure high-quality, engaging animations that meet project deadlines and contribute to immersive gaming experiences.

How does a remote video game animator effectively collaborate with other team members across different locations?

Remote video game animators typically work closely with designers, programmers, and other artists using collaborative tools such as Slack, Zoom, and project management platforms like Jira or Trello. Regular virtual meetings and screen-sharing sessions help ensure alignment on animation style, timing, and integration into the game engine. Communication is key, so being proactive in sharing progress, asking questions, and giving feedback helps maintain a smooth workflow despite the physical distance. Remote animators also often upload work-in-progress files to shared repositories to facilitate feedback and seamless integration with other assets.

VIDEO EDITOR (PAID MEDIA & GENERATIVE AI)

at IncubatorLab Remote - Worldwide

IncubatorLab is looking for an exceptional, AI-driven Video Editor to join our thriving performance team!

Role Objective:

As a Video Editor at IncubatorLab, you will create and edit short-form paid social ads designed to drive performance across platforms such as Meta, TikTok, and YouTube. This role is built for editors who master the intersection of generative AI workflows, advanced prompting, and conversion-focused storytellingtaking concepts from raw script to high-performing final ad.

What You'll Do:

  • Script-to-Ad Execution: Take raw scripts and concepts and build complete, high-converting video ads using a blend of stock, UGC, and AI assets.
  • AI Asset Generation & Prompting: Utilize generative AI tools to prompt and generate custom visuals, AI animations, cartoon/stylized graphics, and hyper-realistic synthetic video assets tailored to specific brand angles.
  • Edit & Iterate Paid Ads: Edit short-form paid social video ads and rapidly iterate variations based on real-time performance insights.
  • Apply Direct-Response Best Practices: Structure aggressive hooks, fast pacing, pattern interrupts, and clear CTAs optimized for social feeds.

  • Collaborate Asynchronously: Partner closely with Creative Strategists and Growth teams in Notion and Slack to test winning creative angles.


Requirements we are looking for:

  • Deep Generative AI Proficiency: Hands-on mastery of cutting-edge AI suites, including Higgsfield AI, Omni AI, HeyGen, Midjourney, Runway, Kling, and ElevenLabs.
  • Advanced Prompting Skills: Proven ability to write precise prompts to build both hyper-realistic visual assets and engaging cartoon/stylized animations directly from a script.
  • Project Workflow & Management: Proficiency working inside Notion for task management, async reviews, and asset handoffs.
  • Conversion-Focused Portfolio: A portfolio demonstrating high-performing paid social ads built for e-commerce brands (bonus points for health, wellness, and supplement experience).
  • Editing Fundamentals: Mastery of pacing, pattern interrupts, color correction, audio mixing, captioning, and sound design.
  • Communication & Remote Fit: Strong written English skills with the ability to work asynchronously in a fast-paced environment.

Working Hours: Async-First We are a global, remote team. We don't care when you do the work, provided deadlines are met and the quality is top-tier. We do ask for a few hours of overlap with US-based EST working hours each day to facilitate team meetings and Slack communication. This ensures we stay agile and can iterate on winning ads in real-time.

HOW TO APPLY

We value high-retention storytelling and creative AI execution over traditional cinematic editing. To apply, submit a link to your portfolio highlighting your work with DTC, UGC-style, or Direct Response video ads.

We specifically want to see:

  1. Generative AI Workflow: Examples showing custom AI-generated visuals (both realistic and cartoon/stylized) prompted directly from scripts or storyboards using tools like Higgsfield AI, Omni AI, or HeyGen.
  2. The First 3 Seconds: Scroll-stopping hooks that combine AI visuals, UGC, or text overlays to lock in attention immediately.
  3. Pacing & Pattern Interrupts: High-retention edits using quick cuts, zooms, captions, and sound design.
  4. Iteration Testing: Examples of multiple iterations of the same ad (e.g., different AI hooks or visual styles).

Note: Please submit a direct-response performance reel. Long-form documentaries, wedding films, or traditional cinematic shorts will not be reviewed.

What's atypical about the company:

Incubator Labs is a performance-focused growth organization that builds and scales brandsthrough rapid experimentation, creative iteration, and disciplined execution. We operate as an internal growth engine, not an agency.

Application Process:
