Full job description

The Mission

Static user interfaces and uninspired motion design are completely dead to us. We need a "Visual Kineticist" to bring the Partyhat web ecosystem to life. Your job is to inject raw motion, dynamic pacing, and spectacular visual effects into our digital canvas—transforming flat designs into living, high-energy interactive experiences. This is a remote, asset-focused role for a high-availability animator who treats motion as an exact science and knows how to command a viewer's attention within milliseconds.

We don't care about a traditional animation degree or a corporate agency resume; we care about the physics, timing, and visual weight of your reel. If you have the drive to master our core layout principles, the speed to match our rapid product updates, and the structural discipline to deliver clean, highly optimized assets that integrate flawlessly with modern UI layers, we will give you the ultimate digital stage to build your legacy.

Key Responsibilities

Kinetic Character & Asset Design: Animate characters, environments, and custom icons, preserving absolute volumetric integrity, weight, and visual energy across every sequence.
VFX Engineering: Conceptualize and execute high-octane visual effects that amplify high-stakes actions, user milestones, and critical interactive touchpoints.
UI Motion Integration: Collaborate directly with Frontend Engineers to embed smooth, reactive micro-animations and seamless transitions into our web layouts, eliminating user friction.
Storyboarding & Pre-Visualization: Translate abstract concepts and product roadmaps into clear storyboards, animatics, and scene compositions to lock down narrative momentum before production.
Asset Optimization: Balance high-fidelity visual flair with strict technical performance, outputting clean web-ready files (such as JSON/Lottie, WebP, or layered image sheets) that load instantly on global networks.
Pipeline Management: Maintain a flawless, perfectly cataloged library of master files, ensuring our design and product teams can access and deploy your motion assets in real time.

The Software Toolkit

You must possess elite, day-to-day deployment speed across the following software suites:

Adobe After Effects (AE): Advanced keyframing, parenting, expression scripting, and heavy visual effects (VFX) composition.
Spine 2D: Elite skeletal animation, mesh deformation, and skeletal weight mapping for efficient, liquid-smooth asset motion.
Adobe Photoshop (PS) & Illustrator (AI): Clean layer preparation, asset asset decoupling, and vector/raster graphic management optimized for motion pipelines.

The Requirements

The "Principles Elite": Deep, intuitive mastery of core animation mechanics including Timing, Squash and Stretch, Slow-in/Slow-out, Anticipation, and dynamic color theory.
The "Motion Instinct": A breathtaking professional showreel demonstrating raw kinetic flow, sharp weight distribution, and high-impact visual composition.
Hyper-Availability: This isn't a slow-moving design house. When major features drop or live campaigns pivot, you must be highly responsive and available to execute real-time render modifications and asset updates.
Operational Autonomy: Completely self-motivated and highly structured; you can manage massive timelines, complex layer hierarchies, and fast production turnarounds without letting a single detail slip through the cracks.

Operational Details

Location: Fully Remote.
Schedule: On-call 7 days a week (Requires high flexibility to align with fast-moving code releases and global launch schedules).
Payment: All compensation is processed in digital assets (USDC/USDT).

Why Join Us?

We offer more than just a standard motion graphics gig; we offer the runway to drive the visual rhythm of a global powerhouse.

Absolute Creative Sovereignty: We value raw output and kinetic impact over corporate red tape. If your motion frameworks are sharp and move the needle, we push them live.
Global Canvas: Your visual effects and UI animations will instantly step onto a global stage, guiding and captivating thousands of active web users every single day.
A Culture of Momentum: Join a fast-moving, internet-native team that moves at lightspeed. You will be constantly creating, testing new visual boundaries, and seeing your technical execution hit production instantly.
High-Growth Upside: We value "potential over pedigree." For an Animator whose kinetic style defines our player experience, there is a clear, unrestricted runway to lead our entire multi-media and design function.
