• Use AI-assisted creative tools to explore ideas, accelerate workflows, and refine generated content into polished, production-ready visual assets.
• Develop coordinated sets of reusable graphics, illustrations, and motion assets that support consistency and efficiency across product experiences.
• Collaborate with product designers and cross-functional partners to align on project scope, creative direction, review milestones, and delivery timelines.
• Present and explain visual design decisions, incorporate feedback, and deliver completed work that meets established quality standards.
• Maintain strong visual storytelling and craft across multiple formats, ensuring designs are clear, engaging, and consistent with the broader brand experience.

What You'll Bring

• 8–10 years of professional experience in motion design and animation, with a portfolio demonstrating polished motion work and the ability to combine animation with graphics and product interface elements.

• Experience translating creative briefs into high-quality visual deliverables while balancing design objectives, feedback, and project timelines.
• Strong understanding of how to combine multiple visual media to communicate product concepts and create engaging digital experiences.
• Ability to articulate creative decisions, collaborate effectively with design partners, respond constructively to feedback, and deliver work reliably.
• A portfolio demonstrating relevant graphic design, illustration, motion design, creative process, and finished work.

• Experience designing visual assets for AI-powered products, developer tools, or other technology-focused digital experiences.
• Experience with interactive visuals, coded motion graphics, or motion integrated into product interfaces.
• Experience contributing to large-scale brand systems, design systems, or reusable visual asset libraries.
• Familiarity with creative tooling and workflows that improve design efficiency, consistency, and asset reuse.
• Experience developing mixed-media visual storytelling that combines product interfaces, illustration, graphics, and animation.
