UI/UX + Animator + Motion Designer (Slots and Games)

We are looking for a person who can handle both graphics and motion. Not two contractors, but one who keeps the entire product's visuals in mind — from a symbol on the reel to a promo video.

Product: A gaming platform with slots and games.

What you will do

Game Graphics — the core of the job:

— Create entire slots: symbols, reels, backgrounds, frames, game logos, UI for the game screen

— Maintain a consistent visual style for the game from concept to final assets

— Slice and package assets for the engine: sprite sheets, atlases (TexturePacker), @1x/@2x, reasonable texture sizes

Animation — the second half of the job, not a "bonus":

— Idle loops for symbols, win animations, big win / mega win, reactions to scatters and wilds

— Spins, reel stops, transition animations between screens and bonus rounds

— Particles, glows, shakes, timings, and easing — the elements that make a game feel "expensive" or cheap

— Skeletal animation for characters (Spine / Rive), frame-by-frame — where it's more appropriate

— Promo and onboarding: videos with characters for social media and landing pages, including AI-generated content

Working with Frontend:

— Deliver animations in a format that developers can easily integrate: correct export formats, atlases, JSON skeletons, Lottie — for what PixiJS actually supports

— Understand budgets: asset weight, memory usage for textures, what will bottleneck at 60 fps on an average mobile device

— Stay in communication with development and managers: discuss tasks before they are drawn, check in during progress, answer questions during integration

Interface and Design System:

— Design screens: user flows → prototype → mockups

— Build Figma files that are scalable: components, auto layout, variables, states, responsiveness, Dev Mode

— Develop the design system with localization in mind: multi-currency, varying string lengths, different date and number formats

— Think about the product, not just draw according to the brief: come up with your own solutions

We are looking for

— A portfolio with game graphics and animation — slots, casual games, any interactive projects. Concepts without production don't show the full picture

— Motion design is mandatory: After Effects, Spine and/or Rive; AI video generation (Runway, Kling, Sora — whatever you actually use)

— Figma proficiency at the level of building files that won't fall apart by the third sprint

— Understanding of frontend capabilities and limitations, ideally specifically PixiJS: what renders cheaply and what will kill performance

— Understanding that in the fintech part, the interface is responsible for trust: how to display commission, payment status, errors in a way that doesn't make people nervous

— Ability to explain your decisions and reach agreements with the team, not just silently render

— Readiness to work at a common pace: calls, status updates, deadlines

Bonus points

— Experience in iGaming, slots, game development

— English at B1 level

— Understanding of what is expensive and what is not in frontend development

Conditions

— Middle level

— Salary range is negotiable

— Remote format, employment type is negotiable, we prefer full-time

How to apply

Send your portfolio and briefly describe the most challenging task from it and why. Motion design works must be separate: links to videos, reels, Spine/Rive previews — anything that can be viewed in motion, not just a static screenshot.
