Own our agent UX end-to-end. Ship weekly. Massive scope.
Motion is creating the command center for creative strategists
: an AI-driven analytics and intelligence platform that bridges the gap between performance marketers and creative teams, helping them uncover what’s working, what’s not, and ultimately ship more winning ads across platforms like YouTube, LinkedIn, Meta, and TikTok.
Today, Motion is trusted by some of the world’s top e-commerce and direct-to-consumer brands and agencies (including Vuori, True Classic, The Farmer’s Dog, and HexClad) and has analyzed over $14 billion in media spend. When leading brands want to understand their creative performance, they turn to us.
We’re growing fast (3x year-over-year), and with a recent $30M Series B raise, we’re just getting started. We doubled our customers and headcount in 2024, and we now have 70 team members. We’re building the future of creative intelligence!
About the Context Engineer role
The problem:
Make our agent reliably helpful under noisy, real-world context—at scale. Creative strategists are analyzing $14B+ in ad spend across Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and LinkedIn. The agent needs to understand messy data, contradictory signals, and complex creative questions, then deliver insights that actually move the needle. Right now, we’re 70% of the way there. You’ll own closing that gap.
Hard constraints:
- Small team, high ambiguity – You’ll be the person figuring out what “good” looks like
- Production impact weekly – Your prompts and evals ship to thousands of users every week
- High expectations – Our customers are world-class brands who expect world-class AI
What you’ll do ️
You’ll own making Motion’s AI agent world-class. This means you’ll:
- Own the agent experience end-to-end – Identify friction points in user interactions, run experiments, and ship improvements that make conversations more effective
- Engineer prompts and build evals – Write and iterate on prompts in the codebase, design evaluation frameworks to measure performance, and systematically validate improvements
- Prototype and ship rapidly – Use Cursor to vibe-code new interaction patterns, agent capabilities, and UX improvements without waiting for handoffs
- Shape the roadmap – Identify gaps in the current experience and work with our PDE (product, design, engineering) team on agent tooling improvements and frontend design decisions
This role sits at the intersection of PM thinking and AI engineering. You’ll have full dev support, but you need to be hands-on enough to ship improvements yourself. If you’re comfortable using Cursor to make changes in a codebase, we can teach you the rest.
Who you are
Must-haves:
- Product management background with a track record of shipping features and improving user experiences
- High agency and bias to action – You thrive in ambiguity, move fast, and don’t wait for perfect specs
- AI-native – You actively use and experiment with LLMs (Claude, GPT, Cursor, etc.) and understand their capabilities and limitations
- Comfortable vibe-coding with Cursor – You can read TypeScript/Python, make changes in a codebase, and ship prompt improvements with light code review. You don’t need to be a senior engineer—we can teach you the rest
- Tinkerer mindset – You build things because you find it fun and you’re constantly experimenting
- Systems thinker – You can see how components interact, identify root causes, and design holistic solutions
- Strong communicator – You craft clear, user-friendly dialogues and can explain technical concepts to anyone
- Curious and rigorous – You study user behavior, ask the right questions, and translate insights into action
- You’ve shipped something users loved – Could be a feature, product, side project—we want to see evidence of impact
This role ISN’T for you if:
- You need clearly defined specs before you can move
- You prefer delegating technical work over getting hands-on
- You want a stable, predictable environment
What you’ll learn
- How to build production-grade conversational AI at scale
- The emerging discipline of context engineering and prompt architecture
- How to measure and improve AI systems systematically with evals
- Working at the frontier of a brand new function in a category-defining company
What success looks like ✨
- 3 months: Ship 3+ meaningful agent improvements and establish an eval framework for measuring performance
- 6 months: Agent satisfaction metrics improve by 20%+, you’re the go-to expert for agent questions, and you’ve created systematic processes for iteration
- 12 months: Our agent experience is benchmarked as best-in-class, you’ve shaped our agent roadmap, and you’re mentoring others on prompt engineering
Why now?
We’ve proven product-market fit with the world’s best brands. Now we’re in a land-grab to own creative intelligence. Our agent is the next frontier—and whoever nails this experience first wins the category.
You’ll be our first dedicated hire on agent experience. Ground floor. Massive impact. Category-defining moment.
What you’ll love about Motion
- Competitive market compensation, equity offering, 20 days PTO, full healthcare benefits, work from home stipend
- Fully remote team with incredible offsites and retreats to build camaraderie. Our last company retreat was a week-long stay at Lake Muskoka
- We’ve found product-market fit but we’re still so early that you will have massive impact
- Our team is very ambitious, super capable, and low on egos
- Our customers are some of the leading brands and agencies in D2C e-commerce
- We want Motion’s impact in the “creative-tech” industry to be up there with the Webflows, Canvas, and Figmas of the world
- Our founding team has built successful companies before and we know exactly what it takes to win
This role offers an incredible opportunity to get in on the ground floor and help us build a category-defining company in the “creative-tech” space.
Location: We’re looking to hire someone based in North America (fully remote) We review applications on a rolling basis and will get back to you within one week.
