About the Design Team

MetaMask's design team aims to establish MetaMask as the premier wallet in fintech, elevating the craft of design and leading the industry as the next phase of decentralized finance unfolds. Our goal is to reduce friction while preserving user trust, so more people can safely explore the world of Web3.

What you’ll do

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.

What you’ll work on

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

Would be great if you brought this to the role

You’ve spent 6+ years working with motion in digital products, using animation and interaction to make complex experiences easier to understand
You define motion languages and patterns that create consistency across screens, features, and platforms
You build scalable systems—guidelines, reusable assets, or components—that help teams apply motion without starting from scratch
You work closely with engineers to bring motion into production in ways that feel smooth, perform well, and hold up across platforms
You use prototyping to explore and communicate ideas, helping teams align on how things should move and respond
You balance clarity and delight, knowing when motion helps guide someone and when it might get in the way
You raise the bar for craft, through feedback, collaboration, and hands-on contribution

Don't meet all the requirements? Don't sweat it. We’re passionate about building a diverse team of humans and as such, if you think you've got what it takes for our chaotic-but-fun, remote-friendly, start-up environment—apply anyway, detailing your relevant transferable skills in your cover letter.
