• A high level of familiarity with games and cartoons

• We are not looking for an engineer, but an animator: primary understanding of the creative part of animation - knowing how to make it beautiful and expressive. It is highly desirable to be able to use constraints, but the ability to write scripts is no longer very important

• Willingness to iterative development approach
