Details

Consensys is the leading blockchain and web3 software company founded by Joe Lubin, CEO of Consensys and Co-Founder of Ethereum. Since 2014, Consensys has been at the forefront of innovation, pioneering technological developments within the web3 ecosystem.

Through our product suite, including the MetaMask platform, Infura, Linea, Diligence, and our NFT toolkit Phosphor, we have become the trusted collaborator for users, creators, and developers on their path to build and belong in the world they want to see.

Role overview

MetaMask is used by millions of people as their gateway to web3. As the product grows, so does the need for experiences that feel clear, responsive, and human. Motion plays a big role in that.

We’re looking for a Staff Motion Designer to join our Design Systems team. In this role, you’ll shape how motion shows up across MetaMask—from small interaction details to larger moments of expression. A core part of the work is defining a shared motion language and building systems that help teams use it consistently across the product.

This role sits within the design system, but it’s not just about documentation. You’ll be making things—prototyping, exploring, refining—and working closely with designers and engineers to bring motion into the product in a way that scales.

Responsibilities

• Use motion to make the product easier to understand—helping people see what’s happening, what changed, and what to do next
• Define a clear, shared motion language for MetaMask—how things move, respond, and feel across surfaces
• Build patterns, guidelines, and reusable assets that allow motion to scale across teams and platforms
• Introduce moments of delight where they add value, without getting in the way
• Partner with product designers and engineers to bring motion into the product in a way that feels natural and performs well
• Use prototypes to explore and communicate interaction ideas
• Contribute to the overall level of craft across the team through feedback and collaboration

Requirements

• Significant experience working with motion in digital products, using animation and interaction to make complex experiences easier to understand (posting notes 6+ years as a guideline)
• Experience defining motion languages and patterns that create consistency across screens, features, and platforms
• Experience building scalable systems—guidelines, reusable assets, or components—that help teams apply motion without starting from scratch
• Experience working closely with engineers to bring motion into production in ways that feel smooth, perform well, and hold up across platforms
• Ability to use prototyping to explore and communicate ideas and align teams on how things should move and respond
• Balance clarity and delight, knowing when motion helps guide someone and when it might get in the way
• Willingness to raise the bar for craft, through feedback, collaboration, and hands-on contribution
