About the Role:

We’re looking for a UI Animator who can create smooth, delightful, and meaningful animations that enhance user experiences. As a UI Animator, you’ll collaborate with product designers, developers, and UX researchers to bring visual interactions to life—adding motion that improves usability, provides feedback, and strengthens our brand.

This is a key creative role focused on micro-interactions, transitions, onboarding animations, interactive feedback, and motion storytelling across web and mobile interfaces.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and create UI animations that guide users, enhance interactivity, and add personality to digital products.
• Collaborate with product designers, developers, and UX teams to understand functionality, user flows, and technical requirements.
• Develop animated prototypes, motion studies, and transitions for interfaces, components, and screens.
• Maintain consistency with brand guidelines and contribute to evolving the motion design system.
• Work closely with engineers to ensure animations are implemented smoothly and optimally.
• Stay current with UI/UX trends, tools, and best practices in motion design and interaction.
• Participate in user testing and design iteration based on feedback and usability insights.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Animation, Motion Design, Interaction Design, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• 2–4+ years of experience in UI animation, motion graphics, or interactive design.
• Proficiency in tools like After Effects, Figma, Principle, Lottie, Framer, Adobe Animate, or similar.
• Solid understanding of animation principles, interaction design, and human-centered UX.
• Experience designing motion for digital products (web/mobile apps).
• Strong portfolio or demo reel showcasing UI animation, transitions, and interaction design.
• Ability to translate complex ideas into simple, intuitive animations that enhance usability.
• Great attention to detail and understanding of timing, rhythm, and feedback in motion.

Nice to Have:

• Familiarity with design systems and component libraries.
• Experience with motion implementation using tools like Lottie, CSS animation, or front-end frameworks.
• Knowledge of accessibility considerations in motion design.
• Basic knowledge of front-end technologies (HTML/CSS/JS) is a plus.
• Experience with 3D or immersive interfaces (AR/VR) is a bonus.

What We Offer:

• Competitive salary and benefits
• A creative and collaborative design culture
• Opportunities to shape the look and feel of digital experiences
• Access to the latest tools and technologies
• Flexible work arrangements
