About us

Our mission is to democratise the creation of motion assets and content for every one.

The Lottielab editor, our current product, is the easiest way to create and ship animations to websites and apps, using the Lottie format. This means the file sizes are tiny, can be made interactive and slot in seamlessly into development workflows.

We’ve helped 500k+ designers and developers working at companies like OpenAI, Spotify, Google, Uber, Monzo and more ship animations faster than ever to their tools. A number of these teams are also expanding their use of Lottielab into marketing assets that require motion, which opens up exciting opportunities for us in how we enable them.

Observing the need for much simpler and faster workflows for animations, we’ve been exploring how AI can enable various motion usecases. We recently released Magic Animator, the first AI tool that generates actual editable animations - keyframes, presets, layers, styles, motion curves, all using real Figma designs, in ONE click. Over half a million assets were generated with Magic Animator in its first couple of weeks.

We are now further expanding our AI strategy by building Burp, giving anyone the ability to ‘make anything move’. Burp enables designers and marketers to create and edit motion assets and content with a prompt/ chat experience, whilst having access to the powerful motion design editing and collaboration workflow Lottielab is already well-known for.

Following our initial investment from Europe’s leading investors like Point 9, 20VC and more, founders/leaders from creative tooling companies like Squarespace, Webflow, InvisionApp and others, we’ve not only become the leading Lottie animation tool, but have done so as a profitable company For our next chapter, we’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our team and work on our mission to become the leading motion tool, working on our upcoming range of AI, video and vector capabilities as we expand the motion usecases we enable.

✅ What we’re looking for

✏️ How you work: Our software engineers solve problems help our customers achieve their goals as quickly and efficiently as possible, in this case, producing high-converting motion assets for their usecase. This role is the right environment for you if you are able to think creatively, mathematically and in systems, to see the connection between what people really need, the most efficient path towards it and leverage deep technical expertise to execute on this.

Tech stacks are simply a set of tools to solve the problem at hand, and the ability to adapt to what is needed to get ship and test the solution is the most important aspect to you. If you don’t feel limited by titles, able to build your own backend, front-end, mathematical logic all with a level of taste, then this is the right space for you!

✅ What does this role look like:

• You'll work independently or with others to build new product features from start to finish: through conception, research, implementation, and maintenance.
• The nature of feature engineering can vary. For example, you might build or improve an AI video generation pipeline in our editor and start by thinking the specific usecases and users who need to use this, or you might be improving specific vector asset generation and editing such as using bezier curves as motion paths, starting with how does a user think about drawing lines, and finishing with how can I render curved animation paths and handles in realtime over a network.
• You'll be comfortable solving problems that involve creation tools, performance improvements and platform stability at the intersection of video and vector rendering, or polish existing features. For example, you might improve the quality and variety of AI-generated videos or vector animations, make rendering 10x faster, or improve the volume of artboards, assets, or layer trees that can be amended by multiple users concurrently.
• You'll build internal tools to support simplicity and productivity for the whole team. This might include writing a script to automate database seeding for a new feature.

**Requirements

✅ Core skills top candidates tend to have:** ⭐ We are not restrictive regarding familiarity with specific technologies. Your attitude towards, and aptitude for learning new skills is disproportionately more important.

Given this, experience in the following areas may allow you to get comfortable with our work more easily:

• Mathematical thinking & core Mathematics skills (especially if you enjoy solving problems in graphics-relevant topics like Trigonometry, Linear Algebra, Differential & Computational Geometry, Multivariable calculus, vectors and matrices)
• Comfortable with Platform and Infrastructure engineering, especially related to backend/ cloud architecture for graphics, video rendering and multiplayer tools.
