Job description

Motion is creating the command center for creative strategists: an AI-driven analytics and intelligence platform that bridges the gap between performance marketers and creative teams, helping them uncover what's working, what's not, and ultimately ship more winning ads across platforms like YouTube, LinkedIn, Meta, and TikTok.

Today, Motion is trusted by some of the world’s top e-commerce and direct-to-consumer brands and agencies (including Vuori, True Classic, The Farmer’s Dog, and HexClad) and has analyzed over $14 billion in media spend. When leading brands want to understand their creative performance, they turn to us.

We’re growing fast (3x year-over-year), our product is sticky, and with a recent $30M Series B raise, we’re just getting started. We’re building the future of creative intelligence and are looking for talented people to help us get there! 🚀

Our team & how to know if you're a fit:

At Motion, the engineering team builds market leading software to accelerate the time to and quality of decisions made by creative strategists in paid advertising. Increasingly that means augmenting our users’ abilities with AI agents and intelligence drawing on the many many data sources we have available.

We are looking for impatient, self-sufficient, pragmatic, and fun engineers who love building user facing products. You are someone who loves to build and bring new things to life, and own features from ideation to launch.

Motion is a fully remote company but we work closely as a team. We are looking for someone with significant overlap with EST (being located in Toronto, Montreal, or Porto-Portugal is a plus as we have optional co-working days!).

Explore our Engineering at Motion page to learn more about our team, our work, and how we build together.

In this role, you will:

• Go through 2 days of industry specific and Motion specific onboarding, pair with a senior dev to set up the codebase, and push a feature in your first week.
• Own a major initiative in your first 3 months.
• Work on a small, high-ownership, cross-functional team, with weekly cycles.
• Build user facing product ranging from cutting edge AI support to onboarding to creative discovery tools.

Your background looks something like:

• 5+ years of experience turning designs and product requirements into products people love and use every day.
• Exceptional at React, TypeScript, GraphQL
• Fluent in Node.js, TypeScript, and MongoDB
• Interest in AI/ML
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment with evolving requirements and priorities
• Any past experience. Self-taught, bootcamp, degree, founder - we love talent from anywhere.

What you’ll love about Motion:

• Super competitive compensation, equity, 20 days PTO, full healthcare benefits, work from home stipend
• Fully remote team with incredible offsites and retreats to build camaraderie. Our last retreat was a week-long stay at Lake Muskoka.
• We’ve found product market fit but we’re still so early that you will have a major impact.
• Our team is very ambitious, super capable and low on egos
• Our customers are some of the leading brands and agencies in D2C e-commerce
• We want Motion’s impact in the “creative-tech” industry to be up there with the Webflows, Canvas and Figmas of the world.
• We have a deep understanding of the problem space through many years of tinkering in the industry.
• We know exactly what it’s going to take for Motion to win.
• We’d love for you to join us on the ride!

Motion thrived in 2023, and 2024 was a defining year here. We started 2025 with fresh funding and exceptional signals from our clients. On top of this, our founding team has built successful companies before. This role offers an incredible opportunity to get in on the ground floor to help us build a category defining company in the “creative-tech” space.
