Best known for the high-octane chaos of the Just Cause franchise, the immersive wilderness of theHunter: Call of the Wild, and the brutal, post-apocalyptic landscapes of Mad Max, we pride ourselves on pushing the technological and creative boundaries of open-world gaming. Our Stockholm headquarters, located in the vibrant creative hub of Södermalm, mirrors the very nature of our games. The architectural design of the office blends lush, indoor vegetation with industrial, corroded metal elements, creating an inspiring and distinctly “Avalanche” environment for our development teams. Sweden Jobs. Avalanche Studios Group operate on a foundational pillar of mutual respect, inclusivity, and creative freedom.

You will join a focused, tight-knit squad of exactly six people, comprising game designers, programmers, and technical artists. The team’s current objective is the development of an unannounced game prototype centered heavily around complex traversal mechanics and realistic physical interactions. Because this is an incubation environment, the project operates under a rapid prototyping paradigm. This means the team prioritizes quick implementation, frequent playtesting, immediate feedback loops, and a high volume of iteration. The goal is not to build a polished, final product from day one, but to rapidly discover what makes the gameplay loop fun, immersive, and technically viable. Position Summary & Core Philosophy Avalanche Studios Group is seeking an experienced, technically proficient, and highly collaborative Animator for a fixed-term engagement. The ideal candidate is someone who can marry art with technology, turning abstract design concepts into fluid, responsive, and tactile character movements. This role (Animator 3D) requires a strong focus on realistic human movement, specifically tailored to how a character navigates, climbs, leaps, and physically collides with an interactive environment. You will be expected to take substantial ownership of the animation pipeline for this prototype. Sweden Jobs We look for individuals with a player-centric mindset. While underlying animation graphs, state machines, and technical frameworks are vital, you must always evaluate your work through the lens of the player: In this role, player feel and mechanical responsiveness take precedence over rigid systemic perfection.

Iteration, Testing, and Quality Assurance Who You Are (Qualifications & Skills) Technical Requirements & Experience as Animator 3D Soft Skills & Mindset Our View on Qualifications for Animator 3D A Note on Inclusivity: Research across the tech and gaming industries indicates that individuals from under-represented groups often hesitate to apply for roles unless they meet 100% of the listed criteria.

We care far more about your raw passion, your creative drive, your capacity to learn, and your enthusiasm for solving complex development challenges than we do about an itemized checklist on your CV. If you love gaming, excel at character animation, and are excited by this prompt, please submit your application even if you do not check every single box.
