[Hiring] 2D/3D Motion Designer @Bunsen

Role Description

We’re looking for a Motion Designer who can bring complex ideas to life in both 2D and 3D.

• Concepting:
  • Translate scientific and technical concepts into clear, compelling visual narratives.
  • Develop storyboards, style frames, and motion studies that align with each project’s creative direction.
• 2D Motion:
  • Animate brand systems, typography, diagrams, illustrations, interfaces, and other graphic elements for websites, presentations, and explainer videos.
• 3D Motion:
  • Model, animate, light, and render 3D assets like molecules, proteins, hardware, and abstract graphics.
• Interactive Motion:
  • Create motion for the web, preparing optimized assets and defining timing, easing, transitions, and responsive behavior.
• Production:
  • Manage projects from initial exploration through final delivery, maintaining a high bar for craft, consistency, and technical execution.
  • Prepare and optimize assets for developers and production partners.

Qualifications

• You have a strong motion portfolio that demonstrates excellent design instincts, storytelling, and execution across 2D and 3D.
• You have experience collaborating directly with designers and developers to bring motion systems into production.
• You’re comfortable across multiple tools and workflows and know when each approach is most effective.
• You deliver consistently, communicate proactively, stay organized, and manage multiple projects effectively.
• You enjoy learning how unfamiliar technologies work and finding visual ways to make them understandable and engaging.
• You thrive in a fast-paced agency environment and are comfortable adapting your process to different projects, timelines, and clients.

Requirements

• Experience with GSAP, WebGL, Three.js, Lottie, Rive, or other web animation workflows.
• Experience creating molecular, cellular, medical, or scientific visualizations.
• Experience with particle systems, procedural animation, simulations, or node-based workflows.
• Familiarity with scientific data, CAD files, microscopy imagery, or technical source material.
• Experience collaborating directly with developers to bring motion systems into production.

Opportunity

• Time: This role will begin as a part-time contract of approximately 10–20 hours per week.
• Location: We are remote-first. Occasional meetings typically take place between 12–5 p.m. ET.
• Compensation: We offer fixed project fees for clearly defined engagements and hourly rates for less-defined or one-off motion work.
