Rive Motion Designer

We are looking for a talented, tech-savvy Rive Motion Designer to help us level up the visual experience for a major entertainment company. The core of our pipeline for this project is Rive.

Project Details

Starts as a freelance contract for the initial milestone. Successful completion opens the door to a permanent, full-time position within our core team.

Hard Skills & Technical Requirements

Expertise in Rive

3+ years of experience with Rive, with confident use of the Design, Animate, and Data Binding / View Models workflows. Ability to build complex, reusable, and adaptive components, and to configure advanced State Machines with multiple layers, inputs, and triggers. Understanding of Rive ViewModel schemas (Number / String / Boolean / Enum), Property Groups, and converters. Ability to design and implement a clear “data → animation” pipeline. Willingness to write scripts (Luau / Lua‑style syntax) for custom logic.

Core Animation Fundamentals

Skill in balancing rich effects against hardware constraints without breaking the juicy feel of the animations. Strong sense of timing, spacing, weight, anticipation, and squash‑and‑stretch.

Handoff & Dev Collaboration

You understand how Rive assets run in real runtimes and can clearly document what engineers need - ViewModel schemas, State Machine inputs, and expected data ranges. You’re comfortable reviewing integration with developers and adjusting animations or data contracts so the final experience matches the design and stays maintainable.

What You Will Do

• Animate sleek, juicy interactive UI elements and game screens. Your animations should feel punchy, rewarding, and celebratory.

• Build and test interactive State Machines in Rive to hand over clean, dev-ready assets to our engineering team.

• Collaborate closely with the Motion Lead to maintain visual consistency and with developers to troubleshoot runtime implementation.

Bonus Points If You Have

• Experience creating animations specifically for casino games, slots, or sports/arcade entertainment.

• If you love blending classic animation with cutting-edge interactive tech, we’d love to see your portfolio (bonus points if it includes a Rive Community link or live runtime examples).
