Technical Motion Designer

Aquent is partnering with a leading global technology company to find a Technical Motion Designer for a high-visibility product design team. This role is ideal for someone who sits at the intersection of motion design, product UX, and front-end implementationThis is not a traditional motion graphics role. The right person will build interactive animation systems for real product experiences, not just create static exports or concept work. You will help shape how motion behaves, responds, and scales across digital product surfaces while partnering closely with design and engineering teams.What You'll DoBuild and implement interactive animations across product surfaces using a real-time animation platformTranslate motion concepts into production-ready assetsOwn animation logic, state machines, and data binding within interactive animation filesOptimize motion systems for performance, scalability, and reusabilityPartner with visual designers, motion designers, and engineers to bring product experiences to lifeHelp define best practices for how motion is built and implementedSupport tools and workflows that allow designers to modify animation files at runtimeMust-Have Qualifications7 to 10+ years of experience in motion design, UX motion, product design, creative technology, front-end animation, or a related fieldAt least 1 year of hands-on experience with an interactive animation platformExperience designing and implementing state machinesExperience using advanced data binding, logic, and complex interactive animation systemsStrong understanding of animation principles, including timing, easing, choreography, and interaction behaviorExperience integrating animation into real products, not just prototypesStrong front-end engineering skills, preferably with JavaScript or TypeScriptAbility to collaborate effectively across design and engineering teamsAbility to debug, iterate, and refine motion in a technical product environmentPortfolio or work examples showing interactive animation, product motion, technical motion, or motion systemsNice-to-Have QualificationsExperience with React, React Native, or similar front-end frameworksFamiliarity with traditional motion tools such as After EffectsExperience building design systems or reusable motion systemsInterest in real-time, interactive, or generative animationExperience creating scalable motion tools, workflows, or runtime modification systemsLI-KR2
