Motion is growing fast (3x YoY), our product is sticky, and we recently raised $12M in seed funding. But we’re just getting started and we need your help.

We’re building a new category of software to bridge the gap between performance marketers and creative teams. Our creative analytics platform offers fast, visual reporting for Meta, TikTok, and YouTube ads to help creative teams understand what’s working and why.

Our team is still small, with 10 engineers and 35 company wide. After a successful 2023 we’re growing the early team to enable more product growth this year and beyond.

We are looking for a talented, driven, and experienced backend engineer. In this role, you will play a crucial part in writing backend for customer facing features. As a company, we have a strong bias towards action and are looking for high agency individuals with both technical and product savvy. You will use good judgment to make product choices and technical decisions from our customers’ perspective, we expect more than just shipping code.

The right candidate favors working on a cross-functional team, has opinions about good product experiences, and embraces a willingness to jump in and get the job done.

Motion is a fully remote company but we work closely as a team. We are looking for someone who has some overlap with both EST and CET, somewhere between UTC-5 and UTC+1.
