2D FX Artist – Glitch Productions

Glitch Productions

Glitch Productions is at the forefront of a digital revolution. As an independent animation powerhouse based in Australia, we are redefining how long-form animated content is created, distributed, and celebrated. With over 18 million subscribers and global hits like The Amazing Digital Circus amassing hundreds of millions of views, we are proving that “internet-first” animation is the future of the industry. We are looking for a visionary 2D FX Artist to join our remote-friendly team and help us continue to push the boundaries of visual storytelling. Job Overview : 2D FX Artist Company Name: Glitch Productions Role Title: 2D FX Artist Job Type: Full-Time Location: Remote (Global) / Office hubs in Parramatta & Melbourne CBD Experience Level: Experienced (3+ Years) Start Date: April 2026 Department: 2D Animation / Visual Effects About Glitch Productions: The Art-First Revolution Glitch Productions isn’t your typical animation studio. Glitch was born from a living room and fueled by a “nerd culture” passion that resonates with tens of millions of fans worldwide. Our mission is simple: Create the best art possible. We operate with an Art-First Mindset, meaning that every decision we make—from pipeline innovations to character arcs—is driven by the desire to delight our audience. Our studio is a melting pot of talented, high-energy artists who aren’t afraid to cobble together new sets or invent breakthrough technologies to get the job done. If you are tired of the traditional “cog-in-the-machine” studio culture and want to see your work have a direct, massive impact on a global scale, Glitch is your home. Key Responsibilities as 2D FX Artist 1. Visual Effects Design & Animation Dynamic Simulations: Design and animate top-tier 2D effects including explosions, fluid smoke, stylized fire, atmospheric weather, and magical auras that align with the specific tone of each show. Aesthetic Alignment: Work hand-in-hand with the Art Director and Showrunner to ensure that FX aren’t just “add-ons,” but integrated parts of the visual storytelling. Consistency: Maintain a high level of style consistency across multiple episodes, ensuring that the “language” of the effects remains cohesive. 2. Technical Production & Pipeline Optimization: Prepare FX assets that are production-ready, focusing on proper layering and technical compatibility with 2D/3D backgrounds and character assets. Inter-Departmental Synergy: Partner with Storyboarding, Character Animation, and Compositing teams to ensure seamless asset hand-offs and integration. Pipeline Innovation: Help document your creation methods and assist the technical team in refining the FX pipeline to increase studio-wide efficiency and output quality. 3. Self-Management & Quality Control Deadline Mastery: Manage your own schedule to meet tight production deliverables while maintaining the high artistic standards Glitch fans expect. Proactive Problem Solving: Identify potential technical bottlenecks early in the production cycle and propose creative solutions to overcome them. Required Skills & Qualifications for 2D FX Artist Professional Experience: 3+ years of dedicated experience as 2D FX Artist in 2D FX Animation for animated series, films, or high-end digital content. Software Proficiency: Mastery of Toon Boom Harmony and Adobe After Effects. You should be comfortable navigating complex node structures and timeline-based animation. The “Artistic Eye”: An exceptional sense of timing, weight, and color. You understand how a single frame of “impact” can change the entire feel of an action sequence. Adaptability: The ability to jump between hyper-stylized “Internet” aesthetics and more traditional cinematic 2D effects as required by different IP. Production Tools: Familiarity with project tracking software like ShotGrid to maintain organized workflows in a fast-paced environment. Bonus Skills (The “Glitch” Edge) Unreal Engine Knowledge: Experience implementing 2D PNG sequences into UE5 environments. Culture Fit: A deep understanding of gaming, animation, and “internet nerd” culture. If you love the worlds we build, you’ll build them better. Technical Art: Basic understanding of 3D FX to better collaborate with our CG departments. What We Offer: Culture & Benefits Flexible Autonomy: We offer flexible work arrangements, including 100% Remote options or hybrid setups at our modern offices in Parramatta or Melbourne CBD. Wellness & Lifestyle: We cover your Gym Membership and provide regular company breakfasts and lunches for our on-site team members. Community & Fun: Free entry to conventions and events, plus regular studio-wide social functions to celebrate our milestones. Inclusivity: A diverse team that values independent input. We hire based on passion and potential, welcoming all backgrounds and identities. Career Trajectory: With salary reviews every 6 months and a rapidly growing slate of projects, your growth at Glitch is limited only by your ambition. Our Core Values Passion: We bring personal touches to every frame because we love what we do. Innovation: We push the boundaries of what independent animation can achieve. Teamwork: We believe our range of skills allows us to create works no individual could do alone. Integrity: Doing right by our projects and each other is at the heart of our mission. Portfolio Requirements  Your portfolio must demonstrate a range of 2D FX from realistic to stylized. Please include: Breakdowns: Show us your process from rough animation to final composite. Timing: Examples that showcase your understanding of “squash and stretch” and explosive timing. Collaborative Work: Clearly indicate your specific contributions if the work was part of a larger team project.
