Who is Shown Media, and what this role is about

Every week, our launches hit 10 million views. Not explainer videos — 90-second masterpieces engineered to break the internet for the founders backed by Sequoia, A16Z, and Khosla.

Only apply if this feels embarrassingly accurate:

We want the motion designer who re-exports at 2am because a single easing curve was off by three frames - and everyone else thought it was fine. The one who notices a 2-frame offset in someone else's work that no one else in the room can see. Who is allergic to using a default After Effects preset. Who watches viral videos frame by frame not for fun, but because you need to understand exactly how they did that. That’s the person we are looking for and the person whose work will be seen by 10M+ people every. single. week.

About Shown Media

Emmy winners, ex-Mr. Beast filmmakers, and the most technically gifted motion designers on the planet. We engineer viral launches for the founders history will remember — tens of millions of views per campaign. Mos importantly for you, the animation you ship this week will be in front of 25+ million people in 72 hours.

What You'll Do

• Own motion execution for viral launch campaigns

• Build visual systems (transitions, pacing, motion language) that make our content impossible to scroll past

• Collaborate with animators, editors, and creative strategists to make sure visuals and performance goals align

• Iterate based on data, not gut feeling

• Elevate the designers around you

The animation you ship this week will be in front of 30 million people by Friday. You need to act

What We're Looking For

• Advanced After Effects. Solid Premiere Pro. Comfortable in Figma.

• You study viral videos to reverse-engineer the visual mechanics, not just for inspiration

• You know the difference between motion that looks good and motion that performs

• 3D (Cinema 4D or Blender) is a strong bonus

• You've shipped animation for something that hit millions of views

And most importantly: You actually have taste.

Only apply if you have a portfolio and a reel.

We want you to show us why you are the best of the best.
