Senior Motion & Visual Designer (Games)

Core responsibilities:

Marketing & Growth Creatives:

• Conceptualize and produce high-performing video creatives for paid user acquisition (Meta, Google, TikTok, etc.).
• Create variations rapidly based on performance data and competitive insights.
• Translate gameplay, emotions, and hooks into compelling short-form ad narratives.
• Own end-to-end production: storyboard animation sound export iteration.
• Design storefront assets (App Store / Play Store screenshots, feature graphics, promo videos).
• Stay updated on competitor creatives and trends in mobile gaming ads.
• Bring new visual techniques, motion styles, and storytelling approaches.

In-Game UI & Motion Systems

• Design high-quality UI layouts, feature flows, and visual systems for new game features.
• Create polished animations for various features.
• Ensure animations enhance clarity and emotional feedback (not just decoration).

Creative Systems & Visual Consistency

• Help evolve the visual identity of the game and its marketing presence.
• Create reusable motion systems and UI components.
• Maintain consistency across ads, store assets, and in-game visuals.

Nice to have: Unity Integration & Implementation (learn on the job if unskilled)

• Import, hook up, and fine-tune UI and animation assets inside Unity.
• Configure animation states, transitions, and prefabs for production readiness.
• Be comfortable learning Unitys animation tools (Animator, Timeline, UI systems).

Compensation:

• The company offers fair pay and is generally better than the market average.
• Stock opportunities will be at a future point in time based on responsibility and ownership displayed in the first 6-12 months.

Other benefits:

• You will be working with a team of great minds who are aggressive at problem-solving and scaling.
• You will have exposure in the early stages of a company formation, including the networking to set you up better for your own entrepreneurial journey at a future point in time.
• You can learn about gaming as a business beyond development, and find opportunities to take on additional/different responsibilities laterally.
