What does a remote rigging artist do?

A remote rigging artist builds the skeletons, controls, and deformation systems animators use to bring characters, creatures, and props to life - working to the studio's rig standards, testing rigs with animators over annotated reviews and video calls, and delivering through version control to a distributed team.
