Motion and Interaction Designer

Join the Consumer Mobile team at the company, where you will own the feel of the app, ensuring that elements like trade confirmations and chart loading are seamless and trustworthy. This role is focused on mobile-first development using React Native, emphasizing the integration of motion and interaction design in the product.

Responsibilities

• Own the motion and interaction layer of the app, dealing with easing, springs, gestures, transitions, haptics, and sound.
• Evolve the mobile design system, owning the components that other engineers will rely on.
• Partner closely with product designers to enhance motion and interaction design from concept through implementation.
• Profile and optimise rendering performance, especially on lower-end Android devices.
• Contribute to architectural decisions that affect UI responsiveness, including state management and render cycles.
• Raise the standards for excellence across the mobile organization through reviews and writing best practices.

Requirements

• A portfolio demonstrating your interaction design craft, including demo reels, personal sites, or a GitHub repository.
• Deep knowledge of React Native, including experience with Reanimated and profiling UI thread performance.
• Strong sense of motion design, with the ability to critique and articulate design elements effectively.
• Excellent product judgment, capable of translating vague briefs into high-quality outcomes.
• Proficiency in using AI tools to enhance your workflow and increase efficiency.
• Strong written and verbal English skills for effective communication in a globally distributed team.

Nice to Have

• Experience with React Native Skia, shader work, or custom canvas-based rendering.
• Familiarity with Swift or Kotlin to effectively bridge modules.
• Contributions to motion libraries, design systems, or interaction primitives that have been adopted by other engineers.
• A background in visual or motion design, with experience in prototyping prior to coding.
• Previous experience in high-stakes products, particularly in fintech or areas where UI precision is critical.

Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis unless a specific deadline is indicated.
