As a Senior Motion Designer, you will define how Netflix moves and sounds, exploring how animation, pacing, and audio enhance interaction, guide attention, and create emotional impact across all platforms. 

Your Impact:

Must have:

  •  Mastery of motion design, timing, and visual rhythm in interactive or narrative contexts.

  • Strong sense of cinematic storytelling and audiovisual craft.

  • Experience working with multidisciplinary teams including UX, product, design, and audio.

  • Excellent communication and presentation skills for articulating design decisions and strategy.

  • Proactive and self-starting, able to uncover and propose solutions independently.

  • Ability to contribute to and influence impactful motion solutions across all phases of the product lifecycle.

 

Bonus: 

  • Cinematic UI, entertainment or gaming branding, or interactive storytelling experience.

  • Audio design sensibility to enhance motion

  • Real-time prototyping (Unreal, Unity) or generative AI-assisted workflows.
