Company

hirify.global is one of the fastest-growing sports companies, building games and products across fantasy sports, sports betting, and prediction markets.

What you will do

• Collaborate on and lead motion design across the product, defining principles, patterns, and guidelines.
• Design high-quality microinteractions (transitions, state changes, loading/empty states, feedback, onboarding) that improve usability and delight.
• Prototype early and often using motion-forward tools to explore interaction models and validate concepts.
• Partner deeply with engineers to ensure motion is implemented accurately, efficiently, and accessibly.
• Create reusable motion components and contribute to the design system (tokens, curves/easing, durations, choreography rules).
• Improve product comprehension with motion that communicates hierarchy, cause/effect, and status.
• Use research and data to evaluate motion effectiveness.
• Mentor designers and up-level motion craft across the team via reviews, critiques, and workshops.

Requirements

• 3-5 years of product design experience with strong motion design emphasis in shipped digital products.
• A portfolio showcasing interaction design and motion craft with clear problem framing, process, and outcomes.
• Expert understanding of timing, easing, choreography, and narrative flow for UI motion.
• Strong systems thinking: ability to create scalable patterns.
• Deep collaboration skills with engineering, including discussing implementation constraints.
• Fluency in accessibility and inclusive design, including reduced motion strategies and motion-sensitivity considerations.
• Excellent communication: you can explain why motion choices matter and align stakeholders.
• Experience working across web and/or mobile platforms (iOS/Android) in cross-functional teams.

Nice to have

• Experience building or maintaining a motion system within a design system.
• Familiarity with implementation frameworks (e.g., Rive, Lottie, After Effects pipelines, CSS/JS animations, Framer Motion) or platform-native approaches.
• Experience with complex product areas (data-heavy UI, sports gaming, finance).
• Comfort with metrics-driven iteration and experimentation.

Culture & Benefits

• Unlimited PTO (flexible, with exceptions around NFL season).
• 16 weeks of fully paid parental leave.
• Home office stipend.
• A connected virtual-first culture with a highly engaged distributed workforce.
