Senior Motion Designer

SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today, SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of making life multiplanetary and expanding consciousness to the stars.

SpaceXSI is building Super Intelligence to help humanity understand the universe. Our teams are building the full Super Intelligence stack: from our Colossus supercomputers, to Grok models, to our suite of applications, including Grok Bot, Grok Build, Grok Imagine, Grok Voice, and X. We're creating a powerful flywheel where more compute trains better models, better models power more useful products, and what we learn from people using those products shapes what we build next.

• 6+ years of motion design experience, in-house or at an agency or studio.

• Fluency in After Effects, Cinema 4D or Blender, Figma, and Adobe Creative Cloud.

• Experience in AI coding tools, especially Cursor. You can build your own tools, scripts, prototypes, and simple web pages instead of waiting on engineering.

• Hands-on experience with AI video and image generation tools as part of a real production workflow.

• A reel and portfolio that show both motion system work and shipped campaigns. Bonus if they include tools or workflows you built.

• Sharp instincts for timing, rhythm, typography in motion, and storytelling.

• Experience in animation workflows from conceptualization, storyboard design, to execution

• A systems mindset: you naturally turn one-off tasks into reusable processes and think about how creative work scales.

• Conviction in your design decisions and the ability to explain why they matter, to designers, marketers, and leadership alike.

• Self-directed, fast, and energized by variety and ambiguity.

• Experience building or relaunching a brand's motion identity at a fast-growing tech company.

• Experience with real-time or code-based motion, such as Rive, Lottie, or WebGL.

• 3D modeling, lighting, and rendering skills.

• Sound design sensibility, enough to work closely with audio partners.

• Experience leading agencies on large, multi-channel campaigns.
