Monad Foundation

3d • Remote

About The Position

The Monad Foundation is a team of dedicated ecosystem and community builders who are on a mission to massively grow the impact of decentralized tech. We believe that the Monad blockchain--the performant and parallel EVM Layer 1--will help decentralized apps eat the world.
The Role
As a Motion Designer at Monad Foundation, you’ll shape how our brand moves, feels, and tells stories across every platform. You’ll turn static design into expressive motion that makes complex ideas feel clear, human, and engaging.
Working closely with the Design and Content teams, you’ll help imagine how ideas move and bring them to life through polished, intentional animation. This role blends creative exploration with technical execution, requiring a strong design foundation and the ability to translate brand systems into cohesive motion.

Requirements

• Proven motion design experience for brand, product, or marketing, with a strong portfolio demonstrating storytelling, timing, and design craft.
• Strong foundation in After Effects, Lottie and handoff specifications with interest or experience in Figma, Rive, and AI tooling.
• Solid grasp of typography, layout, color, and animation principles.
• Comfortable collaborating with designers, art directors, and cross-functional teams.
• Experience building or maintaining motion libraries and reusable assets.
• Organized, adaptable, and curious about new tools and workflows.
• Thoughtful about accessibility and how motion can enhance clarity and user experience.
• Able to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment.

Nice To Haves

• Located in or able to generally adhere to EST time zone work hours (remote).
• Crypto-native: understands crypto culture and main characters.
• Familiarity with prototyping tools (Principle, Framer, Invision)
• Knowledge of additional tools: Blender, Cinema 4D, Unreal Engine, Figma, or Rive.
• Experience with sound design, storyboarding, or animatics.
• Scripting skills (e.g. JavaScript for AE, Python for Blender).

Responsibilities

• Create high-quality motion and animation assets for campaigns, educational explainers, product demos, livestreams, and social media content.
• Develop animated logos, transitions, and brand motion that reinforce Monad’s visual identity.
• Design and animate event collateral, including graphics for conferences, hackathons, and community activations.
• Translate static design systems into polished, expressive animation with strong attention to timing, rhythm, and composition.
• Collaborate with the Design and Content Teams to ensure all motion aligns with Monad’s brand and creative direction.
• Contribute during early concept and storyboarding phases to help shape how ideas move.
• Build and maintain motion libraries and reusable assets for consistency and scalability.
• Stay current on trends and techniques in animation, design, and technology to bring fresh thinking to the team.

Benefits

• Challenging problems. You’ll work on extremely challenging problems with massive impact.
• Huge opportunity. The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) standard is ubiquitous, but existing EVM-compatible chains are slow and bandwidth-constrained. Monad’s core innovations offer developers the best of both worlds (portability and performance) and are a game-changer for mass user adoption in crypto.
• The right team. You’ll be part of an exceptional and highly-motivated team
• Culture. We’re a lean team working together to achieve very ambitious goals. We are united in our culture of collaboration, low ego, and high-quality output. As an early member of our team, you’ll help continue to shape our culture.
