Description of the offer

Mino Games is on a mission to bring the world together through gaming by building the next $100 Billion character-driven franchise.

 

In the late 2000s, the gaming industry went through a tectonic shift with the release of the App Store. Mino Games was started in 2011 to take advantage of this explosive growth and build the next mega-franchise. Since those early days, we’ve built four successful games – Mino Monsters 1 & 2, Cat Game, and Dog Game – with each of them generating tens of millions in revenue. Our mega-hit Cat Game has achieved more than 13 Million downloads and is universally loved by our players. We have also built an amazing team along the way.

 

A Decade later, we see a new tectonic shift happening in gaming. Content creators and AI promise to change the industry far more than mobile games did – it has unlocked the potential to acquire customers and retain them at low to no costs by connecting developers directly with their community. In 2022, we raised $15 million to double down on our mission from some of the biggest names in gaming, including Bing Gordon, and Don Mattrick, founders of EA, Zynga.

 

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior 2D Game Animator to join our talented team. If you are a creative visionary with a passion for crafting visually stunning animations and bringing characters and worlds to life, this is an exciting opportunity to make a significant impact in the gaming industry.

 

As the Senior 2D Game Animator, you will play a crucial role in our game development process, working closely with the art, design, and development teams to create compelling animations for our projects.

 

We’re 100% focused on building this next mega-franchise, but to make this ambitious future a reality we need the help of the best and brightest minds in the industry. If you are passionate, ambitious, and creative and share our vision for the future, come join us. Let’s build this together.
