Motion Designer

Motion Designer

We're looking for a Motion Designer to own motion across both our brand and product. On the brand side that means campaigns, social, launches, and ads. On the product side it means UI animation, micro-interactions, onboarding flows, and the motion design system that keeps everything consistent.

• Design and produce motion content for Kalshi's brand: social, campaigns, product launches, ads, and anything else that needs to move
• Own in-app animation and interaction design: micro-interactions, onboarding flows, loading states, transitions, and UI motion that makes the product feel polished and intentional
• Develop and export production-ready animations for engineering using Lottie and other handoff formats
• Build and maintain Kalshi's motion language, creating a system of timing, easing, and animation principles that keep everything consistent across brand and product
• Collaborate with product designers and engineers to ensure motion is implemented accurately and performantly
• Concept and execute motion work independently from brief to final delivery

About the role

Kalshi has defined a new category: prediction markets. Kalshi allows people to trade on the outcome of any events and turn any question about the future into a financial asset. Kalshi fought for years and legalized prediction markets in the US for the first time in history, is currently the fastest growing financial market in America, and has thousands of markets across politics, economics, financials, weather, tech, AI, culture and more.
