Motion Designer

Every day, tens of millions of people come to Roblox to explore, create, play, learn, and connect with friends in 3D immersive digital experiences– all created by our global community of developers and creators. 

At Roblox, we’re building the tools and platform that empower our community to bring any experience that they can imagine to life. Our vision is to reimagine the way people come together, from anywhere in the world, and on any device.We’re on a mission to connect a billion people with optimism and civility, and looking for amazing talent to help us get there. 

A career at Roblox means you’ll be working to shape the future of human interaction, solving unique technical challenges at scale, and helping to create safer, more civil shared experiences for everyone.

As a Motion Designer, you will play a pivotal role in shaping motion content across brand, marketing, social channels and more. You are a true hybrid maker—capable of developing polished brand films and product UI animations one day, and high-energy, platform-native social content the next.

You understand that great motion design isn’t just about moving parts, but about storytelling, systems thinking, and capturing attention in a crowded digital landscape. You combine elevated design craft with strong editorial instincts, moving effortlessly between long-form brand storytelling and the fast-paced rhythm of social.

You Will:

• Concept, edit, and animate high-impact motion assets for marketing campaigns, product trailers, and brand storytelling.
• Own the creation of platform-native content (TikTok, IG, YT, LinkedIn), optimizing for vertical, square, and mobile-first formats while staying ahead of cultural trends.
• Contribute to our motion design system by defining guidelines, reusable components, and graphic templates that ensure brand consistency across both marketing and in-product UI animations.
• Partner with Art Directors, Product Designers, and Marketers to translate brand guidelines into flexible executions that feel current and culturally relevant.
• Apply advanced motion graphics, typography, and exceptional craft to enhance clarity. Maintain organized workflows to support both polished, long-lead projects and high-volume, fast-turn social needs.

You Have:

• 4+ years of professional motion design experience, with a portfolio showcasing a mix of brand storytelling, social media content, and UI/product animation.
• Expert proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (After Effects, Premiere, Illustrator, Photoshop) and design tools like Figma. Familiarity with 3D tools (Cinema 4D or Blender) is a major plus.
• Deep understanding of platform-specific behaviors, "in-feed" performance, and how to capture attention within the first 1.5 seconds.
• A rock-solid grasp of timing, easing, hierarchy, typography, and composition.
• A flexible, iterative approach to work, comfortable moving between high-fidelity craftsmanship and "lo-fi" social trends in a fast-paced environment.
