Senior Motion Designer

Who We Are

Hi, we're DuckDuckGo, the online protection company and remote-first team of 300+ on a mission to raise the standard of trust online. Founded in 2008 and profitable since 2014, annual revenue now exceeds $100m USD and millions use our browser on Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android, our search engine, and the latest — Privacy Pro. Our culture of trust, inclusivity, and empowered project management underpins everything we do, where each team member takes full ownership of their projects, from scoping and execution to postmortem. If you're seeking end-to-end ownership of your work — you've come to the right place!

Your Team and Role

Working on the Design Team, you'll help define and elevate DuckDuckGo’s visual storytelling across marketing and product surfaces, using tools like After Effects, Adobe CC, and 3D platforms such as Cinema 4D or Blender, and work on related projects. Recent projects include:

  1. Our latest TV Campaign which used motion design to dynamically abstract and visualize our product experience.

  2. In-product motion moments both big and small, such as micro-animations that draw attention to our Search engine AI tools and larger brand-differentiation moments like the flame animation when users "burn" their data in the app.

As a Senior Motion Designer you’ll lead marketing (TV ads, digital video etc.) and product design projects from brief through delivery, balancing creative craft with performance goals. You’ll partner with marketing, product, legal, and external vendors to ship impactful work, contribute to cross-functional creative testing, and help shape motion best practices. You’ll also help evolve our team’s templates and workflows to support efficiency at scale, as our first motion designer.

About You

  1. Ability to lead and collaborate on complex projects from proposal through post-mortem.

  2. 7+ years experience working in motion design, ideally in-house at a fast-paced consumer brand.

  3. Strong proficiency in After Effects and Adobe CC.

  4. Demonstrable experience shipping motion creative across a variety of formats (TV, social, product) and tailoring content for each channel.

  5. Working knowledge of 3D illustration tools like Cinema 4D or Blender — strong 3D skills are preferred, but not required.

  6. Deep understanding of how creative ties to growth and performance goals; able to deliver motion work that is both high-quality and effective.

  7. Experience partnering with marketing, product, legal, and external agencies.

  8. Bonus: Familiarity with integrating motion into video editing

Compensation

$178,500 USD annually and stock options. Compensation is identical within professional levels, regardless of geographic location or team. Compensation for each professional level is transparent across the organization.

Our Team Member Support Guide explains how we prioritize your wellbeing including paid parental leave, office setup, and co-working allowances.

  3. While we offer a flexible work arrangement with no core hours, expect an average full-time commitment of 40 hours per week.

  4. A successful candidate must pass a background check as a condition of joining the team.

  5. By applying for this role, you confirm that all information submitted is accurate and complete.
