Job Description:

As the 2D Animator, you will be animating anime-style characters (faces + body) for short-format cinematic storytelling.

  • Collaborate with illustrators, concept artists, and the director to ensure storytelling intent is preserved.
  • Prepare animation assets for compositing and final edit.

  • Proficiency in Adobe Animate / After Effects / Toon Boom Harmony (or equivalent 2D animation tools).
  • Strong understanding of character acting, timing, and emotional expression.
  • Ability to work with 45° and side-angle character perspectives.
  • Basic knowledge of motion principles, anticipation, squash-and-stretch, and lip sync.
  • Strong portfolio/reel showcasing expressive 2D character animation.
  • Full-time role, work from office, in Bangalore.

Nice-to-Have:

  • Background in cinematic animation, anime-inspired or storytelling-heavy projects.
  • Experience with VFX, motion graphics, or compositing.
  • Familiarity with stock market, mythology, or astrology themes (not mandatory but a plus).

What We Offer

  • A positive and professional work culture that values creativity and collaboration.
  • Fixed login and logout times every day to maintain healthy work-life balance.
  • Opportunity to work on unique, character-driven cinematic projects in astrology and stock market storytelling.
  • Grow with a young, ambitious team in a startup environment where your creativity shapes the final product.

Additional Requirements

  • Must share a strong portfolio (ArtStation, Behance, or similar) showcasing anime-style facial expressions, lip sync, and character body movement.
  • At least one example of frame-by-frame or rigged character animation (front, side, ¾ view).
  • Understanding of timing, squash-and-stretch, anticipation, and emotional storytelling.
  • Demonstrated ability to animate in a cinematic style (not just looping cycles).
  • Versatility in mythical, cultural, or psychological themes will be considered a plus.

A technical test will be part of the selection process to evaluate expression range, timing sense, and clarity of storytelling.
