We're scaling our content operation and need a motion graphics designer who can create polished animations, product UI demos, social video assets, and visual effects for our YouTube, X/Twitter, and marketing channels. We're for someone who can take vague ideas and turn them into polished motion graphics - someone who can work autonomously, not someone who's hand we have to hold through each frame.

You should dream in keyframes. Strong knowledge of Premiere Pro (for integration with video editing pipeline) Clean, modern aesthetic — think Apple product videos, Linear changelogs, Stripe animations Understanding of typography, color theory, and visual hierarchy in motion Experience animating UI/product screenshots (app demos, website walkthroughs) Fluent English (written — verbal is a plus but not required) Reliable internet (50+ Mbps) and a machine that handles After Effects smoothly Nice to Have Cinema 4D, Blender, or other 3D tools Lottie animations for web Figma proficiency (our design tool) Experience with Remotion or code-based animation Rive or SVG animation experience Previous work with tech/SaaS brands Illustration or character animation skills Overlap with US Pacific Time hours (strong plus) Portfolio Requirements Your portfolio MUST include: At least 2 product/UI animation pieces At least 1 explainer or motion graphics reel Bonus: social media video assets you've created We care more about quality and style fit than quantity.
