Job Overview

We are looking for an experienced Senior Motion Designer (After Effects), AI Expert to join a leading AI lab's Generative AI team and contribute to the development of next-generation AI models. This role is ideal for a creative professional with strong motion design expertise, advanced After Effects skills, and hands-on experience with code-driven animation and emerging generative media tools.

You will use your creative and technical judgment to design realistic motion graphics challenges, develop high-quality reference deliverables, and evaluate AI-generated animations and video content. Your expertise will help improve how advanced AI systems understand motion design principles, animation workflows, visual storytelling, and production standards.

The ideal candidate brings a strong portfolio of professionally shipped motion design work, proficiency in industry-standard creative tools, and the ability to combine traditional motion graphics techniques with code-based animation workflows.

This is a fully remote, full-time W-2 employment opportunity open to candidates based in the United States. The role requires a dedicated commitment of 40 hours per week, Monday through Friday.

Requirements

Key Responsibilities

  • Collaborate with AI research and engineering teams to identify knowledge gaps and improve model performance in motion graphics, kinetic typography, animated overlays, and code-driven video production.
  • Design challenging, real-world motion design tasks that assess creative quality, technical accuracy, animation principles, and production readiness.
  • Create high-quality reference deliverables using Adobe After Effects and other relevant tools, ensuring editable project files and production-ready outputs.
  • Develop code-driven animations and graphics using technologies such as Remotion, HTML5 Canvas, SVG, Three.js, WebGL, or similar frameworks.
  • Evaluate AI-generated motion graphics, animations, and video outputs for timing, easing, typography, visual hierarchy, tracking, safe areas, and audio synchronization.
  • Provide structured, detailed written feedback to improve the quality and accuracy of AI-generated creative content.
  • Build evaluation guidelines, quality standards, and detailed rubrics for motion design and animation workflows.
  • Develop or apply scripted technical checks to validate rendered outputs, including format, duration, frame rate, and other production specifications.
  • Work with fellow creative professionals and subject matter experts to maintain consistency and quality across AI training and evaluation datasets.

Required Qualifications

  • 5+ years of professional experience in motion design, motion graphics, animation, or a closely related creative production role.
  • A strong track record of delivering professional motion design projects for creative agencies, motion studios, post-production houses, broadcast design teams, or established in-house brand studios.
  • Expert-level proficiency in Adobe After Effects, including expressions, kinetic typography, 2.5D parallax, tracked composites, and advanced animation workflows.
  • Experience with Cinema 4D or Blender for creating and integrating 3D elements.
  • Hands-on experience with at least one code-driven animation or motion graphics technology, such as Remotion, HTML5 Canvas, SVG animation, Three.js, WebGL, GSAP, p5.js, TouchDesigner, Houdini, or FFmpeg-based rendering.
  • Working knowledge of JavaScript, TypeScript, or Python, with the ability to write, troubleshoot, and understand animation and rendering code.
  • Strong understanding of editable project files and delivery formats, including After Effects (.aep), Motion Graphics Templates (.mogrt), Cinema 4D (.c4d), Blender (.blend), Lottie (.json), Rive (.riv), SVG, and Git-based rendering workflows.
  • Practical experience using FFmpeg for video encoding, concatenation, overlays, frame extraction, and media analysis.
  • Professional experience with generative image and video tools such as Runway, Kling, Luma, Midjourney, or ComfyUI.
  • A publicly accessible portfolio or showreel demonstrating shipped motion design work, along with a code sample that renders or animates video. Candidates should be comfortable discussing their creative and technical approach.
  • Excellent written communication skills and the ability to articulate creative decisions and technical feedback.
  • Availability to commit to a full-time schedule of 40 hours per week on weekdays.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience creating motion design assets for digital campaigns, brand identities, broadcast graphics, product videos, or social media content.
  • Strong understanding of visual storytelling, composition, typography, animation principles, and production workflows.
  • Experience combining traditional motion graphics with procedural or generative animation techniques.
  • Familiarity with multiple aspect ratios and delivery standards, including 16:9, 1:1, 9:16, and 4:5.
  • Experience evaluating AI-generated creative outputs or developing structured quality assessment frameworks.
