Job description

Reliance Games is a leading game developer and publisher with over 500 million worldwide downloads. We are the largest IP game developer in India, and our studio leads the conceptualization, development, and profit and loss (P&L) management for all our titles.

We’ve partnered with Hollywood studios such as DreamWorks, Warner Bros., Paramount, Sony, and more to create global blockbuster titles like :

  • WWE Mayhem
  • American Dad! Apocalypse Soon
  • Drone Shadow Strike
  • World Robot Boxing
  • Little Singham
  • T20 Cricket Champions

Role Overview

We’re seeking a talented, production-tested 3D Animator to craft expressive, gameplay-ready animations that feel great on mobile. You’ll own animation quality for characters and props, collaborate closely with Art, Design, and Engineering, and ensure smooth integration in Unity . You’re equally comfortable with acting choices and with the technical details that make animations read clearly and run efficiently on the device.

What You’ll Do

  • Own animation quality for assigned characters / creatures / props—from blocking to polish and in-engine integration.
  • Tell clear, readable stories through performance, posing, timing, and silhouette—optimized for small screens.
  • Plan shots and systems : create reference, previs / blocking, iterate based on playtest feedback, and maintain consistency with style guides.
  • Integrate in-engine : set up state machines / blend trees, root motion, transitions, IK, and events; troubleshoot import / export.
  • Optimize for mobile : manage key density, curve cleanup, clip length, memory footprint, and runtime performance.
  • Collaborate and lead by influence : partner with Tech Art and Engineering to resolve rig / retarget issues; present in dailies, give / receive actionable feedback.
  • Pipeline stewardship : document best practices; help improve tools, checklists, and naming conventions.
  • (Senior) Mentor juniors, review reels / shots, and help maintain the bar for animation quality across the project.

    • Must-Have Qualifications

  • 3–6+ years of professional 3D character animation experience in games (mobile experience strongly preferred).
  • Expert grasp of animation principles and body mechanics (weight, balance, timing, overlap).
  • Strong DCC skills : Autodesk Max / Blender.
  • Game engine fluency : Unity (anim blueprints / state machines, blend spaces, root motion, notifies / events).
  • Technical savvy : retargeting, FBX pipelines, naming standards, version control basics, and troubleshooting broken rigs / exports.
  • Cinematic sense : camera, lensing, staging, and composition to support gameplay readability.
  • Communication & ownership : clear written / verbal communication, comfort presenting WIP, and on-time delivery.

    • Nice-to-Haves

  • Rigging familiarity (fixing minor skin / weights, constraints, corrective shapes).
  • Creature / vehicle animation, combat loops, hit reactions, traversal, and locomotion sets.
  • Mocap cleanup and AI-assisted workflows (e.g., reference generation, pose suggestion, curve cleanup) are used judiciously for speed without sacrificing quality.
  • Experience with procedural systems , physics-based secondary motion, or runtime IK.

    • Portfolio Requirements (Mandatory)

  • Reel link showcasing game-ready work : acting shots, locomotion sets, combat loops, cycles, and at least one engine-integrated example (Unity / Unreal capture preferred).
  • Shot breakdowns : your role, tools used, rig / source ownership, and specific contributions.
  • Bonus : before / after optimization examples (curve cleanup, key reduction, performance gains).

    • What We Offer

  • Work in a studio with end-to-end P&L ownership of games and real product impact.
  • Competitive salary and Performance-Linked Incentives .
  • Full medical, accident, and life insurance; generous maternity / paternity leave .
  • Employee Assistance Programs;
  • Active Employee Resource Groups – Women at Zapak.
  • Frequent employee events.
  • Collaborative and learning-focused culture.
  • The chance to delight millions of daily players .
