Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Define and evolve the motion language for the Baseten brand.
  • Create high-craft motion work across product launches, social, campaigns, web, events, and out-of-home.
  • Concept and produce video content that makes highly technical products feel compelling.
  • Think at every scale, from a five-second social clip to a Times Square takeover.
  • Partner with brand designers to bring identity systems, typography, illustration, and product storytelling to life through motion.
  • Experiment with new formats, tools, techniques, and emerging technology to push the brand into unexpected places.
  • Build motion systems and principles that scale across the company.
  • Work closely with product and product marketing to make launches feel like moments.
  • Raise the bar for motion craft across everything Baseten puts into the world.

Requirements

  • An exceptional portfolio with a high bar for motion, visual design, and craft.
  • Strong design fundamentals across typography, composition, pacing, sound, and storytelling, not just animation technique.
  • Ability to own a project end to end, from rough concept through storyboarding, design, animation, and final production.
  • Range across brand systems, product storytelling, campaign work, and more experimental ideas.
  • Judgment about when something needs to be simple and precise and when there's room to make something people haven't seen before.
  • Strong opinions about motion and brand, and the ability to articulate why something works or doesn't.
  • Enthusiasm for technical products and the ability to communicate complex ideas without falling back on generic "AI" visuals.
  • Comfort with a lot of ownership and ambiguity, and a high bar for quality.
  • You want to help build a brand, not just execute against one.

Benefits

  • Competitive compensation, including meaningful equity.
  • 100% coverage of medical, dental, and vision insurance for employee and dependents
  • Flexible PTO policy including company wide Winter Break (our offices are closed from Christmas Eve to New Year's Day!)
  • Paid parental leave
  • Fertility and family-building stipend through Carrot
  • Company-facilitated 401(k)
  • Exposure to a variety of ML startups, offering unparalleled learning and networking opportunities.
