This role

We're looking for a Motion Designer to create launch videos, product demos, brand films, and social content. You'll work closely with our Creative Director as part of Krea Studio, taking projects from concepts and storyboards through to final animation.

What you'll do
  • Design and animate content for product launches, feature announcements, and our social channels.

  • Work with the Creative Director to develop ideas and iterate on feedback.
  • Partner with the product team to understand new features and how to demonstrate them.


What we're looking for
  • A proven track record in motion design, with a portfolio of completed projects.
  • Someone with a strong eye for typography, composition, color, and visual hierarchy.

  • Experience with product/UI animation or creative software launches.
  • Proficiency in After Effects or equivalent motion-design software.
  • Clear communication and comfort taking projects through feedback and revisions.


Nice to have
  • Experience with 3D animation, compositing, or sound design.
  • Familiarity with AI creative tools and an interest in using them in production.

Include your portfolio or reel and a few relevant projects. For collaborative work, tell us what you personally designed, animated, or directed. A portfolio is required to be considered for this position.
What we offer
  • Team: Work alongside a world-class team building the future of AI creative tooling
  • Impact: Significant scope and company-wide impact
  • Competitive compensation: generous salary & equity packages
  • Health & wellness: 100% health & 99% dental/vision insurance premiums covered for employees, health FSA accounts, & long-term disability coverage
  • Time off: Flexible PTO policy
  • Financial planning: 401k with a 4% company-sponsored match
  • Meals in the office: breakfast, lunch, dinner - you name it, we'll cover it
  • Transit: Ubers covered to & from the office
  • Sponsorship: We're open to sponsoring international visas where we can (e.g., STEM OPT, OPT, H-1B, O-1, E-3).
  • And more!
