Motion Designer

Your Role

We’re looking for a Motion Designer who creates fluid, modern, system-friendly motion for web and mobile interfaces. 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. Your work will range from subtle interaction animations to full microinteraction systems crafted with intention, clarity, and technical efficiency.

What You’ll Do

• 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.
  
  

What We’re Looking For

• 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.

Nice to Have

• Understanding of accessibility considerations in motion design
• Ability to create lightweight 3D animations or micro-illustrations.
  
  

What You Bring

• A refined sense of motion that elevates the experience while staying performant.
• 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.”
