ABOUT US

Here at Spellbrush, we’re passionate about making a good anime game.
We also happen to be the world’s leading generative AI studio — we’re the team behind niji・journey.
Our mission is to use AI to bring characters to life, exploring and expanding what is possible within the ever-changing AI landscape to create revolutionary video games. We are looking for talented individuals who share our passion for research, games, storytelling, or anime to join us on this journey.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE WORKING WITH US

Impact and Ownership: As an early team member, you’ll have the opportunity to push the boundaries of what’s possible at the intersection of the AI, anime, and video game industry.
A World-Class Team: You’ll work directly with some of the best AI researchers and engineers in the world in a small, mighty, and fast-paced team. You also have the opportunity to collaborate with one of the best image and video generation model teams in the world on data collection.
Unparalleled Resources: You will have a generous amount of compute to build the best possible models for anime characters.
Culture: We are seeking individuals who ideally are fans of anime and the anime aesthetic. We believe in the unmatched speed of in-person collaboration.
International Opportunities: We have primary research offices in downtown Akihabara, Tokyo, and San Francisco. Visa sponsorships are available for qualified candidates

YOU HAVE HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE IN TRAINING TEXT-TO-MOTION OR AUDIO-TO-MOTION MODELS.

You might have previously published papers around the topic, or have worked at an industrial lab on this and related topics. You have seen the Grok AI companion and can develop systems inspired by such an audio-synced motion-generation system.

YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE ON FACIAL MOTION GENERATION

Most anime character’s facial expressions are easier to generate than real people. Nevertheless, we have several magnitudes of more real human data. You’ll be a good fit if you have worked on speech-driven 3D facial animation.

You will join a small but extremely talented team to define a new kind of video game experience. You’ll work alongside top minds in the industry, including the creator of Warudo, a Google Deepmind veteran, and top-tier student researchers. With our world-class multi-modal researchers and engineers, we are building anime characters that players will adore.
As an early member of this team, you will have significant artistic and research freedom to shape what could become a highly successful and innovative video game or interactive visual novel.
