About Superhuman

About the Role

• Define and evolve Superhuman’s motion design language — spanning UI micro-interactions, onboarding flows, feature introductions, loading states, and brand moments across product and marketing.
• Design, prototype, and deliver high-fidelity micro-interactions and transitions that communicate state, guide attention, and make our product feel alive.
• Actively use AI-powered motion tools — including generative video, creative AI and LLM-assisted workflows as a core part of how you concept, iterate, and produce.
• Build and maintain motion guidelines, principles, and a shared library of reusable animation components that help other designers and engineers implement motion consistently.
• Partner with engineering to ensure animations are implemented accurately and performantly in production, with a clear understanding of Lottie, CSS animations, and React-based animation libraries.
• Explore speculative motion concepts that push forward what Superhuman’s product could feel like — using prototypes to communicate ideas before they’re built.
• Mentor other designers on motion craft and help build a culture where animation is thoughtfully and consistently applied.

Nice to Have:

• 3D motion or node-based motion experience in Cinema 4D, Blender, Spline, or Houdini.
• Background in interaction design or UX prototyping in addition to motion.
• Experience building AI-assisted motion workflows or custom pipelines.
