Job Description

About DECA Games

We believe that games should be played for decades but many are abandoned even when a loyal community is screaming to keep them alive.  DECA specializes in acquiring games from other developers and reinvigorating them to continue to entertain for decades. When other studios see an old game, we see a fantastic set of problems to solve and a huge opportunity.

DECA is a remote company with over 300 people in over 30 countries globally.  DECA is also a part of the Embracer Group, the largest public gaming company in Europe.

About our culture

We've managed to maintain a small company feel with the stability and resources of a much larger one. We fully believe in the flexibility of a remote workplace. Team members are trusted to manage their time and get things done independently. We think that egos and politics need to be checked at the virtual door. That means no jerks are allowed, that no job is too small for anyone, and an openness to help and learn from each other is required. We love the challenge of working within constraints and love when we succeed as a team. Check out more about us and our values on our website ( (

This is a  remote position. You can work from anywhere within Europe in the CET timezone (9 a.m. - 6 p.m. CET).

About the role

We are looking for a passionate 3D Animator for one of our most beloved games, Neverwinter! You'll help breathe life into the Forgotten Realms through high-quality, responsive, and visually compelling animations. Your work will directly impact the feel, immersion, and personality of the game's living world. You'll collaborate with a passionate team to animate characters, creatures and mounts that resonate with D\&D fans and MMO players alike.

Responsibilities

  • Create polished, dynamic animations for characters, enemies, companions and mounts within Neverwinter's fast-paced action combat system.
  • Work closely with game designers, character artists, and engineers to ensure animations support gameplay mechanics and storytelling.
  • Apply core animation principles—timing, weight, silhouette, and exaggeration—while optimizing for performance in a real-time multiplayer environment.
  • Integrate animations into the game engine, ensuring smooth transitions and consistent motion across a variety of races and classes.
  • Participate in animation reviews and respond constructively to feedback from leads and peers.

Requirements

  • At least 2+ years of experience as a 3D Animator in game development - at least one shipped title; MMO or RPG experience is a strong plus.
  • Skilled in 3D animation tools (experience with 3DSMax is a plus), including rigging and skinning workflows
  • Strong grasp of creature and humanoid animation, with attention to combat timing and motion readability
  • Familiarity with real-time engine constraints and best practices for animation optimization
  • A portfolio demonstrating both technical ability and artistic range, especially in fantasy or stylized animation.
  • Passion for the Neverwinter universe and/or Dungeons & Dragons IP is a major advantage

Benefits

  • Remote first company culture.
  • Flexible work hours to support a personal work-life balance.
  • Online language classes: English, German, French, Spanish, etc.
  • Working in a multicultural environment with people from over 30 different countries.
  • Flat hierarchies with an open-door policy.
