About The Role

We’re looking for a talented Product Designer with a strong focus on motion to craft intuitive, visually compelling, and high-performing digital experiences. This role blends product thinking with motion design to enhance usability, clarity, and engagement across user journeys.

Key Responsibilities

Design digital products with precision, focusing on interaction, usability, and visual excellence

Collaborate closely with product, engineering, and research teams to deliver user-centric, data-informed solutions

Partner with cross-functional stakeholders and incorporate feedback throughout the design process

Work alongside engineers through implementation and QA to ensure high-quality execution

Contribute to and evolve design systems, ensuring consistency and scalability

Maintain a high bar for design quality and creative exploration across projects

Motion Design Responsibilities

Design motion behaviors and interaction transitions to improve usability and clarity

Create motion prototypes and production-ready specifications (timing, easing, choreography)

Partner with engineering to ensure high-quality, performant implementation across platforms

Define and scale motion principles, patterns, and guidelines within the design system

Use motion to enhance user experience while maintaining accessibility and performance

Contribute to end-to-end product experiences including onboarding, transitions, and feedback states

Iterate and refine animations through testing and QA to ensure consistency and polish

Qualifications

Proven experience designing and iterating on digital products in collaboration with product and engineering teams

Strong portfolio showcasing product design, motion design, and UX thinking

Solid understanding of layout, typography, color, and visual design principles

Experience working within and evolving design systems

Strong communication skills with the ability to present and explain design decisions

Detail-oriented with a strong sense of ownership and quality

Motion Design Skills

Expertise in motion design principles (timing, easing, choreography, spatial relationships)

Experience designing motion for product UX (transitions, feedback states, interaction design)

Proficiency with tools such as After Effects, Figma, Principle, ProtoPie, Rive, or similar

Ability to translate motion concepts into clear, implementable specs

Strong understanding of performance, accessibility, and platform constraints

Systems-thinking mindset with the ability to scale motion across products

Ability to balance creativity with usability—knowing when motion should guide, delight, or stay minimal
