📋 Description
• Define motion tokens: duration, easing curves, delays, and reusable presets (e.g. transition-short, easing-emphasized). • Align tokens with engineering feasibility (web + mobile). • Create system-level motion principles (intentional, authentic, inclusive, grounded). • Document when to use motion and when not to. • Define accessibility standards (reduced motion, alternatives). • Translate principles into patterns for components and interactions (e.g. overlays, toasts, navigation, micro-feedback). • Provide Figma prototypes and animation examples for designers. • Partner with engineers to ensure tokens and guidelines are implementable. • Run short workshops/reviews so our team can confidently apply motion after the contract ends.
🎯 Requirements
• Has built motion systems at scale (design system or major product). • Fluent in both design & engineering language. • Can work hands-on (tokens, animations, Figma libraries) while also setting strategy. • Comfortable teaching and enabling a team to continue the work.
🏖️ Benefits
• Competitive salary • Flexible working hours • Professional development opportunities • Short Term Contract with possibility of extension
