Senior Character Animator — Mercor

Senior Character Animator – Remote Gig

Mercor is seeking an experienced character animator for remote, hourly work with a leading AI lab developing advanced generative AI models. This intermediate-level position focuses on animation work that supports AI model training and development, specifically contributing to performance transfer technology. You'll work approximately 20 hours per week at $60–$90/hour, depending on experience and project scope.

The role involves creating and refining character animation assets that capture nuanced performance details—timing, emotion, and physical movement choices—which feed into AI training pipelines. Your animation expertise directly supports the lab's work on next-generation AI systems. This suits animators comfortable working in AI-adjacent roles and who understand how their output contributes to machine learning workflows, rather than traditional animation production.

This is ideal for intermediate animators seeking flexible, remote AI training work without the commitment of a full-time role. You'll collaborate with an AI-focused team at a forward-thinking lab while maintaining control over your schedule.

Details: Intermediate-level, video work, remote, listed pay $60 – $90/hour.
