Motion Designer

About the role

Join our team as a Motion Designer, where you'll create modern, system-friendly motion for web and mobile interfaces. Your work will range from subtle interaction animations to full microinteraction systems, enhancing usability and engagement. You'll collaborate closely with product designers and engineering teams, develop motion templates and guidelines, and iterate based on feedback and performance constraints. This role offers a competitive salary, stock options, and comprehensive health benefits. Key missions: Design high-quality motion graphics and interaction animations for web and mobile products, ensuring they are lightweight, performant, and suitable for code-driven implementation.. Collaborate closely with product designers and engineering teams to bring UI concepts to life through motion that enhances usability and engagement, and ensure animations translate accurately and efficiently into production.. Develop motion templates, guidelines, and libraries that support a cohesive motion design system, and iterate based on feedback and performance constraints across devices and platforms. Profile: - This role requires a strong understanding of how to design motion that is not only beautiful, but performant, responsive, and optimized for code-based implementation rather than traditional video exports - Strong communication and documentation skills for motion specifications - Understanding of performance considerations, easing curves, and animation principles - A clear perspective on when motion should be expressive vs. when it should be invisible - Experience designing motion intended for real-time rendering or code-based implementation - 3–7+ years of experience in motion design, product motion, or interactive design - Ability to collaborate closely with engineers and speak to feasibility, performance, and implementation details - Proficiency with tools such as Figma, After Effects, Touch-designer or creative coding workflows - Familiarity with design systems and motion guidelines at scale - Strong portfolio demonstrating modern, fluid motion for digital products, not just video reels - Ability to create lightweight 3D animations or micro-illustrations - Understanding of accessibility considerations in motion design - A collaborative mindset and an ability to translate vision into code-ready assets - A passion for the details: timing, easing, cohesion, and subtle movement that feels “alive.” - A refined sense of motion that elevates the experience while staying performant
