Join a young, fast-growing animation studio creating high-quality documentaries for millions — and grow your career faster than anywhere else. Our flagship channel is Futurology: a YouTube channel with 354,000 subscribers and 150+ million global views.
You’ll be joining a high-performance team to produce high-quality 2D/3D animations in After Effects/Blender for documentary-style videos.
This is not a simple editing job, freelance gig or for those who prefer doing simple editing work — we move fast, constantly innovate, and love challenges. Basic After Effects experience is required — you must already know the fundamentals of motion, effects, transitions, masking and keyframing.
This is a career-building role for someone serious about animation, creativity, and leveling up. We have a clear growth ladder and a performance-based bonus system, so if you’re a high achiever, this role is perfect for you.
Our team culture is young, positive, ambitious, and focused on rapid growth. We push each other to get better every week.
We’re looking for someone who is:
- Early in their career but high potential
- Fast learner and hungry to improve
- Creative, visual and imaginative
- Comfortable in After Effects
- Reliable and committed to full-time work
- Excited by growth, feedback, and mastering animation
- Wants a stable, long-term position (NOT a “freelancer with many clients”)
Requirements:
- Basic experience in Adobe After Effects (we will train you to mastery)
- Strong work ethic and full-time availability (40 hours/week)
- Creative eye and interest in storytelling + visual design
- Positive, respectful attitude
- Ability to take feedback and apply it quickly
- Growth mindset and willingness to push your limits
- Reliable electricity + fast internet
- Computer with at least 16GB RAM (After Effects is demanding)
What we offer:
- Hands-on mentorship directly from the channel founder
- Access to premium animation tools, plugins, and resources
- Be part of a young, high-performance creative team
- Work seen by millions of people over time
- A clear growth ladder with defined promotion tiers:
Animator 1 --> Animator 2 --> Senior Animator
- Performance-based raises
- Bonus pool system: your bonus depends on your personal contribution
- Real opportunity to build a long-term creative career
Compensation:
- Base $5/hourly pay (tracked via timesheet)
- Performance bonuses tied to contribution + video performance (typically brings hourly average to $6-8/hour)
- Pay raises tied directly to your animation skill + efficiency (PE Ratio)
Your growth = your earnings. The harder you work, the faster you learn, the farther you go.
To apply, please send:
1. A short message explaining why you want to join the Futurology team
2. What type of animator you want to become in 1-2 years.
3. A link to your portfolio / animation samples (mandatory)
4. A list of the effects / animation styles you know in After Effects
5. One paragraph describing why you believe you’re a high-potential animator
If you're young, ambitious, and want to rise fast — this is the opportunity.
