📋 Description

• Define interaction models, state diagrams, and multi-step flows (idle → hover → press → loading → success → error) • Shape transitions that improve clarity, trust, and perceived performance • Establish behavioral defaults and consistent interaction patterns across the product • Design motion as communication—timing scales, easing curves, hierarchy, spatial continuity • Build motion tokens and reusable interaction primitives (duration stacks, velocity scales, spring configs) • Create GSAP/Framer Motion animations that reduce friction, explain system changes and even to tell stories • Prototype flows in real code (Next.js sandboxes, isolated canvases) to validate experience early • Explore multiple variants quickly to answer UX questions before engineering commits • Pressure-test complexity, emotional tone, and loading states through motion-first prototypes • Design multi-state component behavior (press, release, scrub, drag, kinetic motion) • Shape feedback for transactions, loading, optimistic UI, and error recovery • Prevent user disorientation with subtle transitions, progressive reveals, and spatial continuity • Create an enjoyable, polished and uniquely branded experience through animation • Develop interaction and motion tokens for duration, easing, velocity, and transforms • Define systemized micro-interactions for buttons, cards, lists, panels, and navigation • Collaborate with the design-system team to integrate motion guidelines and behaviors into core components • Work with designers to refine flows, simplify complexity, and surface issues early • Work with engineers to clarify behavior requirements and reduce rework cycles • Provide guidance on constraints, feasibility, and opportunities to elevate the experience • Bridge the gap between design and engineering • Design loading behaviors that reduce perceived waiting • Establish patterns for skeletons, micro-delays, optimistic UI, and sequencing • Diagnose friction based on user confusion, not just technical bugs

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years in a hybrid design/engineering role (Design Engineer, Interaction Engineer, Prototyper) • Strong GSAP or Framer Motion skills—beyond simple examples • Experience building prototypes in React/Next.js to validate flow and timing • Deep understanding of timing, easing, motion hierarchy, and when each is appropriate • Strong visual craft: spacing rhythm, type alignment, optical adjustments, depth cues • Knowledge of animation performance: transform/opacity, avoiding layout thrash, interruptibility • Comfortable shaping ambiguous UX spaces and exploring alternatives quickly • Communicates behavior clearly through prototypes, diagrams, and rationale • High bar for detail and interaction quality.

🏖️ Benefits

• medical, dental, and vision insurance (100% coverage for employees) • generous paid time off • paid parental leave • 10 company-observed holidays
