## Description

### About the role

We're looking for an exceptional motion designer to help evolve Cursor's motion identity as we scale towards a universal platform for building software. As we grow, we're building a brand studio focused on setting a high bar for creative excellence in a fast-moving company where brand and design play a meaningful role. This is a foundational role, with the opportunity to define Cursor's motion language and establish systems that scale across marketing, product, and brand as the company grows.

### What you'll do

- Evolve Cursor's motion identity and create scalable systems across product, marketing, and community

- Own motion work end-to-end — from narrative, storyboards and prototyping through final execution across product launches, campaigns, digital, film, content, and events

- Design for multiple audiences — from experienced developers to designers exploring code for the first time

- Develop and optimise motion workflows, including the integration of new tools to improve efficiency and scalability

- Collaborate with product designers to ensure motion consistency across the user experience

- Collaborate with external motion partners and provide clear creative feedback

- Ship fast, iterate constantly. Let the brand evolve as the product and company grow

### You may be a fit if

- You have a portfolio demonstrating strong motion craft, typography, and strategic thinking across formats — from digital campaigns to motion systems and events

- You've built or evolved motion identities for technical products, developer-focused companies, or culturally defining brands

- You have experience creating engaging product launches and UI animation for software products

- You bring strong attention to pacing, composition, typography, and sound

- You have strong art direction skills, with the ability to set a clear creative bar and guide external creative partners

- You can articulate design decisions and rally teams around a creative vision

- You're comfortable working in fast-paced, high-growth environments with ambiguity and complexity

- You're ambitious, opinionated, and comfortable taking ownership to push work forward

- Nice to have: Experience working at both fast-paced startups and agencies

- Nice to have: Background in 3D or illustration
