Staff UX Motion Designer - MetaMask

Accountabilities

• Define and evolve a clear, cohesive motion language that establishes how interactions move, respond, and feel across product surfaces.
• Use animation and interaction design to make complex experiences easier to understand, helping users recognize what is happening, what has changed, and what action to take next.
• Develop scalable motion patterns, guidelines, reusable assets, and other design-system resources that enable teams to apply motion consistently without starting from scratch.
• Prototype and explore interaction concepts to communicate motion behaviors and help designers, engineers, and stakeholders align on intended experiences.
• Partner closely with product designers and engineers to integrate motion into production experiences that feel natural, perform well, and remain consistent across platforms.
• Identify opportunities to introduce moments of delight while maintaining a strong focus on usability, clarity, accessibility, and product performance.
• Contribute hands-on to the overall quality and craft of the design organization through thoughtful feedback, collaboration, and design exploration.
• Help establish and maintain scalable motion practices that support consistency across screens, features, teams, and platforms.

Requirements

• You have 6+ years of professional experience working with motion, animation, or interaction design for digital products.
• You have demonstrated experience using motion to clarify complex experiences and improve users’ understanding of interactions and product behavior.
• You have experience defining motion languages, principles, and patterns that create consistency across multiple screens, features, and platforms.
• You have built scalable systems such as guidelines, reusable assets, or components that enable other teams to apply motion efficiently.
• You are experienced in collaborating closely with engineers to bring motion concepts into production while maintaining smooth performance and cross-platform consistency.
• You use prototyping as a core part of your design process to explore interactions, test ideas, and communicate intended motion behavior.
• You have strong judgment when balancing functional clarity with visual expression and understand when motion enhances an experience versus when it becomes distracting.
• You demonstrate strong design craft and actively contribute to raising quality through feedback, collaboration, iteration, and hands-on execution.
• You are comfortable working in a fast-paced, distributed, startup-oriented environment where priorities and challenges can evolve quickly.
• You can demonstrate relevant transferable skills even if your experience does not perfectly match every requirement.
