Join Our Creative Team at Rebellion
For over three decades, we have been passionately crafting and publishing exceptional video games from our various studios, established by Jason & Chris Kingsley. However, Rebellion is not just about gaming; we also have our own film and motion capture studio, produce board games, publish literature, and through 2000AD, we offer comics and graphic novels, including the iconic Judge Dredd.
Our operations span multiple locations in the UK, and we embrace a hybrid work model for this role, allowing flexibility in both working hours and onsite presence. We value work-life balance and are open to discussing how we can adapt to your working preferences.
We are on the lookout for a dedicated and skilled Lead Animation Engineer to become a part of our dynamic team. Collaborating with our friendly and experienced animators, you will contribute to a range of thrilling projects. This includes working on Project Archipelago, an exhilarating battle royale game, as well as future unannounced titles, including a dark sci-fi shooter and more. Our new original IP, Atomfall, is also set to launch in the near future.
The ideal candidate will support our animation team, generate content, and mentor fellow team members on exciting unannounced projects. Our rapidly expanding art team seeks a passionate individual who can foster team growth and make a significant impact on our games.

- Communicate effectively with code, design, art, and animation teams to deliver both high-performing and engaging gaming experiences.
- Assess the quality of work and implement improvements to align with technical constraints and artistic vision.
- Act as a mentor and role model for your team, fostering an atmosphere of creativity and enthusiasm.
Qualifications:
- Strong understanding of anatomy and body mechanics.
- Proficient in 3D software such as Maya, Motion Builder, and/or Blender, with a focus on rigging and skinning.
- Experience in creating body, facial, and prop rigs.
- Solid knowledge of motion capture techniques.
- Familiarity with scripting tools using MEL and Python.
- Good understanding of production pipelines.
- Advanced knowledge of the video game development lifecycle.
- Understanding of 3D mathematics (linear algebra, vector, and matrix math).
- Experience in creating UI tools with Maya commands or QT/Pyside is advantageous.
- Ability to develop tools using Python is a plus.
- Experience with the Maya node editor and creating complex systems is beneficial.
- Capability to create corrective joints and manage them, particularly with vectors, is a significant advantage.
Benefits:
We provide a comprehensive benefits package for our team, including:
- 22 days of annual leave plus a Christmas closure and bank holidays (increasing with service up to 31 days).
- Private Medical Insurance and a healthcare cash plan, covering dental and vision.
- Life Assurance, Income Protection, and Critical Illness Cover.
- Enhanced Family Leave.
- Interest-Free, Tax-Free loans.
- Enhanced Pension Scheme.
- Employee Assistance Program offering Mental Health and Wellbeing Support.
