CyberAgent's Game and Entertainment division (SGE) hires a 3D Motion Designer (Leader) for its Core Creative division, a cross-company group set up in 2023 that covers game illustration, character and background design, concept art and direction. The designer works on smartphone games in development or live across the group.

The designer creates and directs hand-keyed character motion for humans and creatures, adjusts motion-capture data in MotionBuilder and Maya, creates and directs facial animation, and produces and directs cameras for cutscenes and battle scenes.

Applicants need three or more years of Maya work or experience on three or more titles, practical capture-data editing, animation implementation in a game engine such as Unity, rigging, direction of cutscene and facial animation, experience on large and small projects, and experience as a lead animator. The team looks for ambitious people who communicate smoothly and solve problems flexibly.
