At Moon Rover, we believe in crafting worlds. Rich, wondrous worlds for our players to bring to life and write their own stories in. Worlds filled with unique, fleeting moments that only they will see, giving them one of a kind stories to share with friends. Worlds teeming with life ready for players to dive into again, and again. And we believe in saying yes to players. We believe in heart pumping core gameplay that changes and is changed by the world around you… constantly evolving gameplay puzzles for players to work out, powered by the simplicity of rock, paper, scissors.
At Moon Rover, we want to explore new worlds with you. Abundant worlds, powered by unique moments, driven by fiendishly simple mechanics - that will catch and live on in our players’ hearts and minds.
We’re going on an adventure. We’re building a studio from the ground up, which is both exciting and difficult - mistakes might happen, but we will learn and move on. We are determined to build a culture where everyone feels safe, valued and empowered to be the best version of themselves - if that’s what you’re looking for, we’d love to hear from you and you can read more about how we plan to go on that journey here.
Artists at Moon Rover
Artists build the worlds that our players are going to inhabit. We think it’s the job of the artists on the team to inspire and be inspired by the work that the rest of the team does. Artists at Moon Rover embrace new technologies, are broad collaborators and creatively generous; ready to work with other artists, disciplines or studios as needed.
Senior Animator
We’re looking for an experienced animator to join our team in developing a new high fidelity IP. Animators sit at the junction of all disciplines, and you’ll be used to the ebb and flow of how this impacts and facilitates your work. You’ll be adept at using animation to bring life to the world, and tell its stories - you know that the smallest details can convey a wealth of information or emotion.
Who are you?
Someone with:
- Proven experience shipping in a modern game engine, on PC or current-gen Console
- A passion for animation, and how you use animation to tell stories with characters, at a variety of scales and ranges - ideally with a portfolio
- Experience with driving and motivating a team, and working with co-dev is preferable
- Experience with Unreal Engine 5 is a real advantage, but not vital
