  • Implement well designed, robust, highly optimal new animation features, integrating them into our existing animation, gameplay, and scripting systems.
  • Keep up to date with the latest academic and industry breakthroughs, independently research and develop improvements to continuously push our technology forward.
QUALIFICATIONS
