Responsibilities

• Design UI-focused animations and microinteractions that support intuitive user experiences across web and mobile platforms.
• Work with Rive and Lottie to create performant, exportable animations ready for integration into product environments.
• Partner closely with product designers and engineers to embed motion into the product development lifecycle—from prototypes to production.
• Create supporting motion assets for product launches, demos, onboarding flows, and in-product education.
• Help other designers implement motion in our product by setting motion design guidelines for Deel products, making templates and expressions for Davinci Resolve or After Effects.
• Contribute to a scalable motion system and reusable animation libraries.
• Stay up to date with emerging tools, frameworks, and best practices in motion for digital product design.
• Collaboration with product and brand designers to create "ownable" UI moments that make the product experience unique.
• Work cross-functionally to advocate for motion as a core part of product thinking and visual storytelling.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in Motion Design, or ability to show you can learn and do it at hyper speed.
• Strong portfolio highlighting UI animations, interactive prototypes, and motion systems used in digital products.
• Proficient in Rive, Lottie (Bodymovin), Adobe After Effects, and tools like Figma and Cinema 4D.
• Understanding of animation principles, interface behavior, timing, and ease.
