<li><span>Understanding of UE4 art and animation process and pipelines</span></li>
<li><span>Self-directed, with an ability and initiative to assess your own work and continue to improve it and bring it up to an exceptional level of quality.</span></li>
<li><span>Ability to collaborate and communicate effectively with team members and potentially handle working on multiple projects simultaneously.</span></li>
<li><span>Must be living in or willing to relocate to MA, NH, CA, or FL (due to payroll and tax logistics). Crate can assist with relocation costs.</span></li>
