  • Contribute to building scalable motion systems and templates that will define our emerging design language.
  • Collaborate with product, design and engineering to efficiently connect code, design, and animation by using Figma and Rive.
  • Improve our animation tool ecosystem through upgrades, automation solutions, and best practices.
  • Make a direct and measurable impact on our business growth.

What You’ll Do

  • Having a strong background in Rive, to build meticulously crafted, performant, and interactive animations.
  • Establishing and maintaining highly organized Rive file structures, reusable templates, and detailed handoff documentation.
  • Demonstrating a keen eye for detail in visual execution and technical precision, particularly within product motion design.
  • Collaborating energetically and creatively to identify opportunities for innovation and continuous improvement in our motion pipeline.
  • Rapidly adapting to evolving project needs, and performing exceptionally under pressure.
  • What You’ll Bring to the Team

  • 4+ years of experience as a Motion Designer, with a portfolio highlighting interactive and product-focused animations.
  • 1–2 years of hands-on Rive experience, including proficiency with its latest features (especially Data Binding) and working closely with developers on file implementation and debugging.
  • Proficiency with design and animation tools such as Figma, After Effects, and Adobe Creative Cloud.
  • Working knowledge of 3D tools like Cinema 4D or Spline for rapid prototyping and asset creation.
  • A collaborative, team-first mindset, thriving in cross-functional environments and energized by working alongside creatives at all levels in a fast-paced setting.
  • Strong visual design skills across multiple mediums, with a systems-oriented and technical approach, and exceptional attention to detail.
  • Compensation Overview
