Key info

Your core mission 🎯

As one of the first members of the core team, you will contribute to most parts of the project: editor (animation & design features, better UX), animation engine, client-side & server-side video exporters, multiplayer editing, Figma & Sketch importers, community infrastructure (share & remix projects).

We ship new features on a weekly basis and adapt to use cases rapidly, so we expect you to iterate quickly on the code, architecture, and product. You are a driving force behind the upcoming changes and improvements. You love working in a team, passing on your knowledge & experience, and driving impact & progress on the team and the product.

Skills we're excited about 💪

  • You master Node.js, AWS, NoSQL databases and you have experience working on large scale web applications
  • You have worked or experimented with one of these technologies (not required, but definitely a plus): Serverless architectures, WebRTC.
  • You love building clean architectures and services that are fast and resilient.

    • Work environment and culture 🙌

    At Motionshift, we have a bias to action. We ship new features every week, and we talk to our users on a daily basis. We focus on maximizing the impact of each member of the team, in a friendly work environment.

    Here are the soft skills we find really important:

  • Team play: You are humble, willing to challenge others and to be challenged. You love to help others grow.
  • Impact & autonomy: You have the ability to focus on the most impactful tasks for the company. You are a doer, you take initiative and you always go the extra mile.
  • Learning: You love to learn new things, and to share your knowledge.
  • Great energy: You are enthusiastic and excited by change. Shipping things makes you happy, and you can pass that energy to the team.
  • The team is remote-first: you can work from anywhere in Europe and come to the Copenhagen office on a regular basis. Communication is mostly written, and we work in English.

    • How to apply 💌

    Simply send your LinkedIn or CV at careers@motionshift.io. If you want to stand out, you can answer one of these questions:

  • What can we improve about our website and our online presence?
  • What's the most interesting / surprising thing you have learned recently?
  • Why are you excited to join Motionshift?

    • We believe that the right attitude towards learning, growing, and adapting is more important than extensive experience. We don't expect you to be familiar with every technology we work with, and we encourage you to apply even if you don't check all the boxes. We value diversity of perspectives, and we look forward to hearing about your unique experiences and what you can bring to the team. We believe that your ability to learn and grow with us will be more valuable than a long time experience.
