About the Position

We’re looking for a Pixel Art Animator to help bring the characters, combat, and world of Altered Alma to life.

Altered Alma is our cyberpunk metroidvania set in Neo Barcelona. You’ll join a multidisciplinary development team and take animations from early references and key poses through to polished, implementation-ready assets.

Responsibilities

Create expressive pixel-art animations for characters, enemies, and gameplay sequences.
Communicate weight, personality, and intent through strong posing, timing, and silhouettes.
Produce readable combat animations that feel responsive during gameplay.
Take work from concept and reference through iteration to final in-game assets.
Collaborate closely with artists, designers, and programmers.
Review animations in context, respond to feedback, and refine them in the game.
Follow the project’s visual direction, scale, palette, and technical conventions.
Help improve the animation pipeline and maintain consistency across the game.

Requirements

A strong portfolio demonstrating pixel-art character animation.
A solid understanding of animation fundamentals, including timing, spacing, weight, anticipation, and follow-through.
Experience creating animations with Aseprite or a comparable pixel-art tool.
The ability to translate concepts and references into clear, expressive movement.
Comfort giving and receiving constructive feedback.
Good written and spoken English for day-to-day collaboration.
The ability to organize your work, communicate progress, and solve problems with the rest of the team.

We care more about the quality of your work and how you think than the number of years you have worked in the industry.

Nice to Have

Experience with subpixel animation.
Experience animating action, combat, or platforming mechanics.
Previous experience working on a commercial game.
Familiarity with implementing and reviewing animation inside a game engine.
An interest in metroidvanias, science fiction, or cyberpunk settings.

These are advantages, not requirements. Please apply even if you do not match every point.

We Offer

A full-time position working 36 hours across Monday to Thursday.
Flexible working hours, with shared core hours from 10:00 to 16:00 CEST.
Remote work from anywhere in Spain under a Spanish employment contract, or remote work as an independent contractor from anywhere in the EU or EEA.
The opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to an original game.
A collaborative environment where artists, designers, and engineers work directly together.
An international team with shared ownership of the work and room to propose ideas.

Your CV or LinkedIn profile.
A portfolio or reel showing your strongest pixel-animation work.
A short explanation of your contribution to any collaborative pieces in your portfolio.
