Motion Designer (Brand Team)

Responsibilities

• Create high-craft motion work across product launches, social, campaigns, web, events, and out-of-home.
• Concept and produce video content that makes highly technical products feel compelling.
• Think at every scale, from a five-second social clip to a Times Square takeover.
• Partner with brand designers to bring identity systems, typography, illustration, and product storytelling to life through motion.
• Experiment with new formats, tools, techniques, and emerging technology to push the brand into unexpected places.
• Build motion systems and principles that scale across the company.
• Raise the bar for motion craft across everything Baseten puts into the world.

Requirements

• An exceptional portfolio with a high bar for motion, visual design, and craft.
• Strong design fundamentals across typography, composition, pacing, sound, and storytelling, not just animation technique.
• Ability to own a project end to end, from rough concept through storyboarding, design, animation, and final production.
• Range across brand systems, product storytelling, campaign work, and more experimental ideas.
• Judgment about when something needs to be simple and precise and when there's room to make something people haven't seen before.
• Strong opinions about motion and brand, and the ability to articulate why something works or doesn't.
• Enthusiasm for technical products and the ability to communicate complex ideas without falling back on generic "AI" visuals.
• Comfort with a lot of ownership and ambiguity, and a high bar for quality.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation, including meaningful equity.
• 100% coverage of medical, dental, and vision insurance for employee and dependents.
• Flexible PTO policy including company wide Winter Break (our offices are closed from Christmas Eve to New Year's Day!)
• Paid parental leave.
• Fertility and family-building stipend through Carrot.
• Company-facilitated 401(k).
• Exposure to a variety of ML startups, offering unparalleled learning and networking opportunities.
