Motion Designer
Designs performant motion graphics and interaction animations for web/mobile products, collaborating with designers and engineers to implement code-ready motion systems that enhance UX.
About the job
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, TouchDesigner 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.
