The Monad Foundation is a team of dedicated ecosystem and community builders who are on a mission to massively grow the impact of decentralized tech. We believe that the Monad blockchain--the performant and parallel EVM Layer 1--will help decentralized apps eat the world.
The Role
Seeking a highly creative and experienced Motion Designer to help shape the visual identity of Monad Foundation’s video media. You’ll play a key role in producing high-quality motion graphics, animations, and video content that both educate and entertain by making complex ideas clear, engaging, and memorable.
What You Will Do
- As a member of the Media Team, you’ll collaborate closely with videographers, growth, design and ecosystem teams to deliver animated content that meets brand and campaign goals.
- Package educational content tailored for platforms including YouTube, X, LinkedIn, Instagram, and TikTok.
- Produce animated UI walkthroughs and product demos for Monad Native applications and Monad Foundation product experiences.
- Contribute to a fast-paced, collaborative culture while balancing multiple concurrent projects.
Example Deliverables / Day-to-Day Work
- Animate educational explainers for Monad and Pipeline channels.
- Design livestream graphics and dynamic lower-thirds for shows like Monad in the Morning.
- Build animated visual identities for events: conferences, hackathons, or online campaigns.
- Develop short, platform-native motion clips for X, TikTok, and Instagram.
- Collaborate with ecosystem teams to produce animated UI product demos.
- Create storyboards and animatics to pitch video concepts before execution.
- Apply AI-assisted tools to speed up workflows and unlock new creative directions.
Who You Are
- Expert-level knowledge of Adobe Suite (After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator) and video editing software (Premiere Pro, Final Cut, or DaVinci).
- Strong foundation in design principles: typography, layout, color, motion
- Proven ability in storytelling and translating conceptual ideas into compelling visuals.
- Familiarity with all stages of the design and production process (ideation → design → animation → presentation → delivery).
- Demonstrated ability to manage multiple projects under tight timelines.
- Collaborative, adaptable, and culture-fit mindset.
Nice-to-Haves
- Located in or able to generally adhere to EST time zone work hours (remote).
- Crypto-native: understands crypto culture and main characters.
- Knowledge of additional tools: Blender, Cinema 4D, Unreal Engine, Figma, or Adobe XD.
- Experience with sound design, storyboarding, or animatics.
- Scripting skills (e.g. JavaScript for AE, Python for Blender).
Portfolio Expectations
Candidates should provide a portfolio that demonstrates:
- A range of 2D and 3D animation work, ideally in both explainer and brand storytelling contexts.
- Strong logo, title, and transition animations.
- Examples of video editing and sequence assembly showing pacing, rhythm, and narrative flow.
- Educational or technical content presented in a clear, engaging way.
- Creative projects that showcase design fundamentals (typography, layout, color).
- Bonus: work relevant to crypto/web3 culture, livestream/podcast design, or interactive UI animation.
Why Work with Us
- Challenging problems. You’ll work on extremely challenging problems with massive impact.
- Huge opportunity. The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) standard is ubiquitous, but existing EVM-compatible chains are slow and bandwidth-constrained. Monad’s core innovations offer developers the best of both worlds (portability and performance) and are a game-changer for mass user adoption in crypto.
- The right team. You’ll be part of an exceptional and highly-motivated team
- Culture. We’re a lean team working together to achieve very ambitious goals. We are united in our culture of collaboration, low ego, and high-quality output. As an early member of our team, you’ll help continue to shape our culture.
