- Balance multiple requests and deliver high-quality work within defined timelines.

- Continuously explore new techniques in motion, 3D, and visual storytelling to enhance user experience.

What We're Looking For

- 24 years of experience in motion design, 3D design, or a related field, with a strong portfolio showcasing product, UI, and 3D work.

- Proficiency in After Effects and 3D tools such as Blender, Cinema 4D, or similar software.

- Strong understanding of Lottie workflows, animation handoff, and performance considerations.

- Ability to translate brand systems and static designs into polished motion and 3D experiences.

- Experience working with animation formats (Lottie, JSON, GIF, MP4, WebM) and understanding their technical constraints.

- Experience creating high-quality 3D renders, lighting setups, and product-style visualizations.

- Strong collaboration and communication skills across cross-functional teams.

- High attention to detail with a focus on quality, performance, and accessibility.

- Ability to manage shifting priorities in a fast-paced environment.

- A proactive mindset with curiosity and a drive to refine processes and elevate output quality.
