We want you to #JOINTHEREBELLION!
For 30 years, we’ve been independently developing and publishing incredible video games at our multiple studios founded by Jason & Chris Kingsley, but Rebellion is more than just games. We have our own film studio, we create board games, publish books, and through 2000AD, publish comics and graphic novels such as the amazing Judge Dredd.
We’re excited to welcome a mid-level Animation Programmer to join our passionate and experienced Tech Team and be part of one of our exciting new large-scale projects, crafted by a seasoned team renowned for creating exceptional shooters.
In the role of Animation Programmer, you’ll act as part of the Engine Animation Team, supporting multiple projects, connecting animators, technical animators and project engineers, fostering a smooth collaboration between animation and code.
You'll harness our proprietary engine, Asura, to implement character animations, aid in crafting engaging gameplay mechanics, and enhance the visual appeal and responsiveness of in-game characters.
Responsibilities:
- Develop and implement animation code for our in-house engine.
- Maintain and develop features within our animation systems, working on content creation tools as well as runtime systems.
- Collaborate with content creators to write some of those tools and features.
- Develop and implement animation code for the project(s), writing and testing larger classes and code with complex functionality.
- Fixing complex bugs in both familiar and unfamiliar code.
- Create, review and update technical and user documentation.
- Support other team members or programmers from other disciplines where appropriate.
This exciting opportunity can be based out of any of our studios in Oxford, Warwick or Runcorn, offering flexibility, collaboration, and the chance to work with a world-class team! We can provide a relocation package, including moving assistance, temporary accommodation, and full support to ensure a smooth transition to your new environment.
We believe in the power of face-to-face collaboration and encourage working from our studios headquarters. However, we understand that flexibility matters, so we’re open to discussing hybrid options based on individual needs.
