They help people make sense of their world by choreographing experiences that feel fluid, natural, and informative.\nGoogle User Experience (UX) is made up of multi-disciplinary teams of UX Designers, Researchers, Writers, Content Strategists, Program Managers, and Engineers: we care deeply about the people who use our products. The UX team plays an integral part in gathering insights about the attitudes, emotions, and behaviors of people who use our products to inspire and inform design. We collaborate closely with each other and with engineering and product management to create industry-leading products that deliver value for the people who use them, and for Google’s businesses.\nAs a Motion Designer, you’ll apply your passion for animation to simplify complex interactions and solve challenging design problems. You’ll help define and implement Google’s motion design language and you’ll think critically about how motion reinforces Google’s UX brand, enhances interactivity, and delights our users.\nUser experience is at the forefront of how we create intuitive, innovative, and beautiful products that people love. We strive to learn and understand our users’ needs, behaviors, and emotions to gather insights that inform product strategy and design. Our UX teams include designers, researchers, content strategists, and engineers who are passionate about quality, usability, and simplicity. We work on collaborative teams to solve complex challenges and craft experiences that highlight our products’ unique capabilities and personalities. Our work touches billions while exemplifying a key principle that is core to Google’s philosophy: “Focus on the user and all else will follow.”\nResponsibilities\nDefine and implement the look and feel of Google products through motion design.\nProvide patterns, best practices and guidance on animation and transitions for different devices (such as TV, tablets, wearables, mobile, etc.) and platforms (such as web, Android, iOS, etc.).\nCreate high quality design proposals and drive projects from concept to iterations and implementation.\nQualifications\nMinimum qualifications:\nBachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience.\n4 years of motion design experience in product design, UX design, or UX/UI animation.\nExperience in motion design related to physics, patterns, and visual design elements.\nExperience with Lottie or Bodymovin export workflows, JSON data structures, and the rendering limits of mobile and web frameworks (CSS/SVG/Canvas).\nExperience documenting motion values (e.g., easing, duration, choreography) into design tokens and component libraries.\nInclude a portfolio, website, or any other relevant link to your work in your resume (providing a viewable link or access instructions).\nPreferred qualifications:\nMaster's degree in Design, Human-Computer Interaction, Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.\n2 years of experience working in a complex, cross-functional organization.\n1 year of experience leading design projects.\nExperience designing motion for conversational AI, generative AI, or agentic workflows (shimmers, stateful transitions, contextual prompts).\nProficiency with modern prototyping tools (Claude code, ProtoPie, Rive, Framer, or basic code/shaders).\nWorking familiarity with 3D tools (Cinema 4D, Blender) for generating dimensional assets and ambient lighting effects.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3673,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":4,"management_years_min":1,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":true},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-25T16:14:43Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":53,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.707,"p_room":0.75,"age_days":28,"expected_fill_days":31,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:late","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/youtube-motion-and-visual-designer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/youtube-motion-and-visual-designer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-17T21:25:29Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":6063,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-18T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":12362},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=12362"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fyoutube-motion-and-visual-designer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fyoutube-motion-and-visual-designer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fyoutube-motion-and-visual-designer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/youtube-motion-and-visual-designer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fyoutube-motion-and-visual-designer"}]}
