Motion Designer

About [REDACTED]

At [REDACTED], we are building next-generation AI creative tools.

We're dedicated to making AI intuitive and controllable for creatives - our mission is to build tools that empower human creativity, not replace it. We believe AI is a new medium that allows us to express ourselves through various formats - text, images, video, sound, and even 3D. We're building better, smarter, and more controllable tools to harness this medium. We recently took this a step forward with the launch of [REDACTED], our first foundation model, built completely from scratch for aesthetic diversity and stylistic control.

We've raised over $83M and are backed by world-class investors such as [REDACTED], [REDACTED], and [REDACTED]. We work full-time and in-person at our waterfront office in San Francisco. We care about creativity: our team includes musicians, designers, visual artists, and engineers.

This role

• Develop storyboards and style frames to establish the direction of a project.
• Use typography, graphics, and UI animation to explain product features and workflows.

• Partner with the product team to understand new features and how to demonstrate them.

What we’re looking for

• A proven track record in motion design, with a portfolio of completed projects.
• Someone with a strong eye for typography, composition, color, and visual hierarchy.
• Strong animation fundamentals, including timing, pacing, and transitions.

• Experience with product/UI animation or creative software launches.
• Proficiency in After Effects or equivalent motion-design software.
• Clear communication and comfort taking projects through feedback and revisions.

Nice to have

• Experience with 3D animation, compositing, or sound design.
• Familiarity with AI creative tools and an interest in using them in production.
