What is a remote Maya character rigger?

A Remote Maya Character Rigger is a digital artist who specializes in creating the skeletal and movement systems (rigs) for 3D characters using Autodesk Maya, while working from a remote location. Their primary role is to build controls and deformers that animators use to pose and animate characters in films, games, or other media. Working remotely, they collaborate with animators, modelers, and technical directors via online tools to ensure the rigs are functional, flexible, and meet project requirements.
