At MockAI, we are reinventing the animation workflow with cutting-edge, controllable technology that empowers creative professionals. Our primary focus is building a powerful motion foundation model that transforms the animation process, allowing creators to produce high-quality content with greater precision and efficiency. By streamlining tasks and enhancing creative control, we aim to transform animation production and push the boundaries of the industry. While our core mission is to revolutionise animation, we also see the potential for this technology in industries like autonomous vehicles, construction, and robotics, expanding its impact beyond the creative sector.

About MockAI
At MockAI, we’re building the next-generation motion foundation model for creative industries — a model that understands, generates, and transforms human motion with the same intuitiveness artists bring to animation. Our mission is to reinvent the animation workflow by giving creators full control over AI-generated motion. From in-betweening and cleanup to style transfer and character-specific motion, MockAI’s technology helps studios bring characters to life faster and more expressively — all within the tools they already use.
We’re an early-stage, fast-moving team combining generative AI research with production-ready engineering to transform how motion is created, controlled, and shared.
The Role
We’re looking for a Research Engineer to join our core technical team and work closely with our Research Scientists. You’ll bridge the gap between cutting-edge research and practical implementation — training and testing models, building internal tools, and managing the data and API pipelines that power our experiments and client integrations.
If you’re excited about exploring transformer and diffusion models in areas — from generating stylised, natural, or creature-like movements, to advancing motion capture cleanup, to building a general motion foundation model — and you want to work in a fast-paced, hands-on startup where your ideas directly shape the product, this is for you.
What You’ll Do
What We’re Looking For
Culture Values
We move fast, stay curious, and build with purpose. We value autonomy, creative thinking, and relentless problem-solving — every team member has a direct hand in shaping the foundation of the company. If you’re passionate about building from the ground up, thrive under high velocity, and want to make real breakthroughs in AI-generated motion, you’ll feel right at home here.
