Motion Designer
Artone Studio is an AI-native design and build partner for technology companies. We design and build products, websites, and brands for AI and software teams, from YC-backed startups to established companies.
We're looking for a motion designer who makes products, brands, and launches feel alive, with sound to match.
Remote
Work from anywhere, with 4 hours of overlap with Romanian time.
Contract
Paid hourly, task by task.
15+ hours
a week available.
What you'll do
Launch videos
Create launch and announcement videos for AI and software products, from storyboard to final cut with sound.
Brand motion
Animate brands: logo reveals, brand intros, and motion systems that extend an identity.
Product animation
Animate product UI, features, and flows for websites and social.
Sound design
Design the sound for your videos: music selection, sound effects, and the final mix.
Social and web
Produce short social motion and website interactions.
What we're looking for
- Exceptional visual taste: every frame looks considered, and the motion feels intentional, never decorative.
- 3+ years in motion design, with both brand and product work in your reel.
- Sound design skills: you choose, edit, and mix audio so every piece feels finished.
- Strong timing and easing, and you work directly from Figma files.
- Expert in After Effects or a similar tool.
- You move fast without cutting corners: strong output in 3 focused hours a day.
- You estimate your own hours accurately and write clear updates.
- At least 4 hours of overlap with Romanian time (EET).
