Job Description:

• Design and animate motion systems for various surfaces: interaction motion, component behaviors, transitions, and “moments of delight.”
• Create expressive 2D animations (and occasional 3D/hybrid work as needed) for product storytelling, launches, and in-product education.
• Partner daily with Product Designers and Engineers to prototype, refine, and ship motion that matches design intent and performs well in production.
• Collaborate with broader XFN partners (creative direction, brand, illustration, content design, research, marketing/communications) to align motion with product goals and narrative.
• Translate ambiguous asks into clear motion concepts, explore options quickly, and iterate with feedback.
• Contribute to motion guidelines, documentation, and reusable assets so work scales across teams and stays consistent.
• Present work with strong rationale—tying motion decisions to user outcomes (comprehension, confidence, reduced friction).

Requirements:

• 7+ years of professional experience in motion design/animation for digital products, brands, or agencies (or equivalent portfolio demonstrating comparable scope and craft).
• Strong portfolio showing excellent timing, easing, composition, and narrative clarity, including UI/product motion and/or motion systems work.
• Expertise in After Effects and core 2D design tools (e.g., Illustrator, Photoshop); comfort working from Figma files and design systems.
• Hands-on experience shipping animations with Lottie (Bodymovin) and partnering with engineers to implement and optimize motion in production.
• Experience collaborating with engineers to ship motion into production (e.g., handing off specs, working through constraints, QA’ing implementation).
• Ability to manage multiple projects, shifting priorities, and stakeholder feedback in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong communication skills and comfort working with distributed, cross-functional teams.
• Prototyping experience (Figma prototyping, Origami, Principle, ProtoPie, etc.).
• Familiarity with 3D workflows (Cinema 4D, Blender, or similar).
• Experience building or contributing to motion design systems (guidelines, libraries, reusable patterns).
• Proof of eligibility to work in the United States or Canada.

Benefits:

• Health Insurance - Medical, Dental, Vision and Life Insurance
• Discounts on movie tickets, theme parks, hotels, Broadway and Vegas shows, shopping partners & more
• Flexible working environment and more!
