Motion Designer

The Motion Designer will own Kalshi’s motion language across brand and product, delivering campaigns, social content, launches, and UI animation from concept to handoff.

Responsibilities

• Design and produce motion content for Kalshi’s brand, including social, campaigns, product launches, ads, and other assets that require movement
• Own in-app animation and interaction design, covering micro-interactions, onboarding flows, loading states, transitions, and UI motion that feels polished and intentional
• Build and export production-ready animations for engineering using Lottie and other handoff formats
• Develop and maintain Kalshi’s motion language, establishing timing, easing, and animation principles for consistency across brand and product
• Collaborate with product designers and engineers to ensure motion is implemented accurately and performantly
• Conceptualize and execute motion work independently from brief to final delivery

Requirements

• A portfolio that shows range, ideally including both brand motion and product/UI animation
• Strong design sensibility across timing, easing, typography, and composition
• Ability to work across two contexts (expressive brand work and functional product motion) without conflating them
• Comfortable owning work end-to-end with minimal direction
• Experience collaborating with engineers on animation implementation
