Technical Animator at Motorica, Stockholm HQ
Motorica is at a definitive breakthrough moment in the evolution of digital movement. We are not just another tool in the stack; we are a paradigm shift. By merging proprietary motion capture data with state-of-the-art diffusion models, Motorica empowers studios to generate AAA-quality character animations in minutes rather than weeks. As we scale rapidly to meet the demands of the world’s premier game studios, we are seeking a “storytelling engineer”—a Technical Animator—to bridge the gap between our cutting-edge AI product and the high-profile teams who use it. In this role, you aren’t just supporting a product; you are an industry authority and a consultant. You will work directly with Lead Animators and Technical Directors at top-tier studios, helping them dismantle traditional production bottlenecks and embrace the future of generative animation. Key Position Overview: Technical Animator Category Details Company Name Motorica Job Title Technical Animator (Product & GTM Authority) Location Stockholm HQ / Fully Remote Job Type Full-time Salary Range Competitive / Equity Options (Based on Senior Industry Experience) Core Tech Unreal Engine (Control Rig, Blueprints), Maya, MotionBuilder Industry Focus Generative AI, AAA Gaming, & Cinematic Production Contact Signe Göransson (Operations Manager) Our Story: Defining the Generative Era Animation has traditionally been one of the most significant “cost and time” sinks in game development. At Motorica, we have solved this. Our proprietary AI models allow for the creation of lifelike, dynamic motion at a fraction of the traditional cost. We remove the mechanical drudgery of animation, allowing creative teams to focus on what truly matters: storytelling, iteration, and building living, breathing worlds. Joining Motorica means joining a high-performance culture where innovation isn’t a goal—it’s the baseline. We are looking for individuals who are driven by the prospect of changing how an entire industry operates. Your Quest: The Mission & Responsibilities This is a hybrid role that sits at the intersection of Product and Go-To-Market (GTM). You will act as the technical face of Motorica for our most prestigious clients. 1. The “Trust Demo” & Pre-Sales Technical Authority: You will join pre-sales conversations with high-profile potential customers. Your goal is to build immediate trust by speaking the language of veteran animators. Storytelling: You won’t just click buttons; you will walk CTOs and Lead Animators through the product, demonstrating exactly how Motorica solves their specific production pain points. 2. Integration & Pipeline Consulting Hands-on Support: Lead the technical onboarding for customers. You will guide them through setting up Motorica within their specific environments. Problem Solving: Act as the first line of defense for technical hurdles. Whether it’s a pipeline blocker or a complex retargeting issue, you provide the solution. Best Practices: Advise studios on how to optimize their workflows to get the most out of generative motion. 3. Product Discovery & Strategic Insights The “Eyes and Ears”: While in the field, you will identify gaps in our current offering. You’ll bring back deep-level insights from AAA studios to help drive our internal product roadmap. GTM Support: Work with the growth team to refine how we position our tech to the industry, ensuring our messaging remains technically accurate and emotionally compelling. Your Toolkit: Who You Are Motorica is looking for an animation-obsessed professional who is as comfortable in a client meeting as they are in a complex rig. The Essentials: Industry Authority: You have 5+ years of experience as a Technical Animator in an AA or AAA environment. You have lived through the “crunch” and understand exactly where the traditional pipeline fails. Communication Mastery: You are a true storyteller. You can simplify complex AI concepts for a junior artist while holding your own in a deep-dive technical debate with a CTO. Software Deep Dive: You possess high-level proficiency in Unreal Engine (specifically Control Rig and Blueprints) and standard DCC tools like Maya and MotionBuilder. Animation Enthusiast: You are always experimenting with the latest tech. A solid understanding of Motion Matching and other modern approaches is a strong indicator that you have the mindset we need. The Mindset: Continuous Learner: Generative animation is evolving every day. You must have a proactive desire to adapt and learn as the tech shifts. High-Energy Professional: You thrive in a scaling environment where your impact is immediate and visible. Why Join Motorica? Motorica is not just a workplace; it is an opportunity to be a pioneer. Immediate Impact: See your work integrated into the most anticipated games in the world. Growth Trajectory: As an early member of our scaling team, you will find no shortage of leadership and growth opportunities. Total Flexibility: Work from our Stockholm HQ or enjoy the freedom of being Fully Remote. Direct Influence: Your feedback from the field directly shapes the future of our proprietary models. Application & Contact Motorica is looking for driven individuals ready to define a new era of animation.
