Overview

We’re looking for a Motion Designer who creates fluid, modern, system-friendly motion for web and mobile interfaces.

In Short

  • Design high-quality motion graphics and interaction animations for web and mobile products.
  • Create motion that is lightweight, performant, and suitable for code-driven implementation.
  • Work with product designers to bring UI concepts to life through motion that enhances usability and engagement.
  • Collaborate closely with engineering teams to ensure animations translate accurately and efficiently into production.
  • Develop motion templates, guidelines, and libraries that support a cohesive motion design system.
  • Balance expressiveness with performance—knowing when subtlety has the most substantial impact.
  • Iterate based on feedback and performance constraints across devices and platforms.
  • Produce motion prototypes, storyboards, and timing specifications for handoff.

Requirements

  • 3–7+ years of experience in motion design, product motion, or interactive design.
  • Strong portfolio demonstrating modern, fluid motion for digital products, not just video reels.
  • Experience designing motion intended for real-time rendering or code-based implementation.
  • Understanding of performance considerations, easing curves, and animation principles.
  • Proficiency with tools such as Figma, After Effects, Touch-designer or creative coding workflows.
  • Ability to collaborate closely with engineers and speak to feasibility, performance, and implementation details.
  • A clear perspective on when motion should be expressive vs. when it should be invisible.
  • Strong communication and documentation skills for motion specifications.
  • Familiarity with design systems and motion guidelines at scale.

  • Health Benefits
  • New Hire Home-Office Setup: One-time USD $500
