Software Engineer

Animaj leads the global media industry by creating and delivering premium 3D animation to families worldwide. Traditional animation, rooted in outdated processes since the early ‘90s, lags behind the fast-paced demands of today’s digital economy.

Our innovation addresses the time-intensive nature of traditional animation, where each second can take hours or a week to produce.

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced full stack developer to join our dynamic Engineering team.

You’ll be instrumental in pioneering AI solutions that will be implemented in our internal workflows.

You will report to the CTO and will be part of an ambitious team pushing the boundaries of the Kids’ animation industry through innovation in generative AI applications.
