Responsibilities
- Design visual assets for educational videos, including diagrams, motion graphics, animations, and on-screen text treatments that clarify complex or technical topics
- Partner with producers, writers, and subject matter experts to turn technical concepts into visuals that are accurate and easy to understand
- Develop and maintain a visual language and design system for product education content, spanning video, in-product guidance, and written materials
- Build templates, motion presets, and reusable components that let the broader team produce consistent content efficiently
- Storyboard and previsualize graphics and animation sequences before production begins
- Collaborate with video producers and editors to integrate designed assets into finished videos
- Design thumbnails across the content library, not just for video, so they're consistent and inviting wherever they appear
- Design badges and other visual markers that recognize what someone has learned
- Weigh in on web design and visual polish as needed
- Adapt educational content into social-ready assets, giving it a light presence beyond the platform it was made for
- Review and refine designs based on feedback from stakeholders and signals from how content actually performs
- Identify opportunities to improve the visual quality or clarity of existing content, and bring proposals forward proactively
- Stay current on motion design, information design, and educational content trends relevant to technical audiences
Skills
- Have a portfolio that includes video explainer, motion graphics, infographics, or other work that makes complex ideas visually clear
- Have experience building or contributing to a visual design system or style guide, and can explain the thinking behind it
- Are skilled with design and motion tools such as Figma, After Effects, and Illustrator
- Can take a technical or abstract concept and find a visual metaphor or structure that makes it intuitive
- Have a strong eye for typography, color, layout, and motion, and hold your own work to a high bar
- Are comfortable designing across formats — video, thumbnails, web, and social — and can adapt a visual system to each without losing consistency
- Work well with producers, writers, and engineers, and can incorporate feedback from people outside of design
- Are comfortable managing several video projects at once, often with fast turnaround times
- Are self-directed — you notice where the content or system could be better and take the initiative to improve it, rather than waiting to be asked
- Are excited about making AI concepts accessible and understandable to a broad audience
- Experience in edtech, instructional design, or curriculum development
- Background specifically in motion graphics or animation for explainer or educational content
- Experience partnering closely with subject matter experts to distill technical material
- Familiarity with AI or machine learning concepts
- Experience extending or adapting an established design system into a new content area, rather than only working within one that's already fully defined

Benefits
- Remote work, with a San Francisco, CA preference for hybrid work
