HIRING: 2D Animator — The Caesar Files (Remote, Per-Project)

We’re a new YouTube channel making 18–24 min animated explainers ranking Roman emperors by their wildest, weirdest, darkest dimensions — deaths, scandals, lovers, blunders, food, religion. Faceless, comedic-historian style à la Agent Flappy / Sam O’Nella / OverSimplified, with a recurring mascot (Felix the Centurion) breaking the fourth wall every 30–60s.
