About Luma AI
Luma's mission is to build multimodal AI to expand human imagination and capabilities. We believe that multimodality is critical for intelligence. To go beyond language models and build more aware, capable and useful systems, the next step function change will come from vision. So we are working on training and scaling up multimodal foundation models for systems that can see and understand, show and explain, and eventually interact with our world to effect change.
Where You Come In:
This is a rare and foundational opportunity to define the visual storytelling for the future of creative AI. As our Senior Motion Designer, you will translate the groundbreaking functionality of our AI models into magical, compelling marketing content and product demos. You will be instrumental in shaping Luma's brand narrative, creating high-fidelity motion work that communicates the power of our technology to millions of users.
Location Preference: Remote within Bay Area or Los Angeles.
What You'll Do:
This is a 0-to-1 opportunity, not a maintenance role. You will:
- Translate product functionality and complex use cases into clear, compelling, and magical motion-driven stories for marketing campaigns, product launches, and social media.
- Design and execute high-fidelity product demos and marketing videos that showcase the capabilities of Luma's AI in a visually stunning way.
- Collaborate closely with the creative team to develop and execute motion concepts that align with Luma's brand and high bar for aesthetic quality.
- Own motion projects from concept to completion, handling storyboarding, design, animation, and final production.
- Create a wide range of motion assets, including animated UI for product demos, visual effects, and cinematic sequences that embody Luma's brand.
- Operate as a key creative partner and hands-on builder, contributing to a culture of visual excellence and innovation.
Who You Are:
- 5+ years of professional experience in motion design, with a portfolio demonstrating exceptional craft and a strong, distinct visual style.
- A proven "builder" with a history of executing high-concept projects and shipping world-class marketing or brand-defining content.
- Impeccable taste and an obsession with craft, detail, and aesthetics.
- A collaborative team player who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is willing to tackle any task to get the job done.
- High agency and the ability to operate with autonomy, taking end-to-end ownership of your work from creative direction to final delivery.
- Deep expertise in industry-standard motion design software, particularly After Effects (workhorse) and Figma.
- A genuine passion for the creative potential of AI and our mission to expand human imagination.
What Sets You Apart (Bonus Points):
- Proficiency in 3D motion graphics (Cinema 4D, Unreal Engine are high priorities; Blender, Maya, or Nuke are also valued).
- Experience in brand-based advertising or filmmaking.
- Experience working directly with generative AI tools in a creative capacity.
- A public portfolio that showcases unique, experimental, or non-traditional motion design projects.
Compensation
The base pay range for this role is $135,000 – $180,000 per year.
