Technical Motion Designer (210013)

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 implementation .

This 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 Do

Build and implement interactive animations across product surfaces using a real-time animation platform

Translate motion concepts into production-ready assets

Own animation logic, state machines, and data binding within interactive animation files

Optimize motion systems for performance, scalability, and reusability

Partner with visual designers, motion designers, and engineers to bring product experiences to life

Help define best practices for how motion is built and implemented

Support tools and workflows that allow designers to modify animation files at runtime

Must-Have Qualifications

7 to 10+ years of experience in motion design, UX motion, product design, creative technology, front-end animation, or a related field

At least 1 year of hands-on experience with an interactive animation platform

Experience designing and implementing state machines

Experience using advanced data binding, logic, and complex interactive animation systems

Strong understanding of animation principles, including timing, easing, choreography, and interaction behavior

Experience integrating animation into real products, not just prototypes

Ability to collaborate effectively across design and engineering teams

Ability to debug, iterate, and refine motion in a technical product environment

Portfolio or work examples showing interactive animation, product motion, technical motion, or motion systems

Nice-to-Have Qualifications

Experience with React, React Native, or similar front-end frameworks

Familiarity with traditional motion tools such as After Effects

Experience building design systems or reusable motion systems

Interest in real-time, interactive, or generative animation

Experience creating scalable motion tools, workflows, or runtime modification systems
