SERVAL

<div><h1 class="jobSectionHeader">Who We Are</h1>
Serval is an AI-native automation platform transforming how enterprises operate. We build intelligent agents that understand real-world workflows and execute them end-to-end &mdash; replacing manual processes and rigid legacy systems with adaptive, learning software. Founded in early 2024, Serval is already trusted by companies like Fox, Notion, Perplexity, Vercel, Mercor, LangChain, and Verkada to automate high-volume, high-friction operational work across their organizations. 
 
At the core of Serval is an agentic AI platform that turns natural language into production-grade workflows. Our agents don&rsquo;t just respond to requests &mdash; they reason, take action across systems, and continuously improve with usage. What began with operational use cases has quickly evolved into a horizontal AI automation layer used across IT, HR, Finance, Security, Legal, and Engineering. 
 
Our mission is to eliminate repetitive, manual work across the enterprise and give teams leverage through intelligent automation. Long term, we&rsquo;re building the universal AI operations layer &mdash; a system of agents that sits across business functions and runs the workflows that keep modern companies moving. 
 
We&rsquo;re backed by leading investors including Sequoia Capital, Redpoint Ventures, Meritech, First Round, General Catalyst, Elad Gil, and others, and founded by product and engineering leaders from Verkada.<h1 class="jobSectionHeader">
Role Overview</h1>
As a Senior Motion Designer, you&rsquo;ll lead the creative vision and hands-on execution of motion across product and brand, bringing ideas to life through compelling 2D and 3D animation across UI/UX experiences, marketing campaigns, brand storytelling, social content, promos, and more. You&rsquo;ll drive projects end-to-end &mdash; from concept, storyboarding, and styleframes to animatics and final delivery &mdash; while establishing scalable motion systems, templates, and guidelines that ensure consistency across teams. Collaborating closely with product designers, engineers, and marketing partners, you&rsquo;ll craft motion that enhances user experience and strengthens brand identity, managing multiple projects in a fast-paced environment while upholding high creative and technical standards.<h1 class="jobSectionHeader">
What You'll Do</h1><ul><li>
Lead the creation of high-quality motion graphics, animations, and graphic video content across a variety of media: product UI/UX, marketing campaigns, brand storytelling, social content, promos, trailers, and more.</li><li>
Work hands-on &mdash; from storyboarding and styleframes to animatics and final motion design delivery. You&rsquo;ll bring ideas to life, using both 2D and 3D techniques.</li><li>
Establish, evolve, and maintain motion design guidelines, templates, and toolkits that can scale across different teams and projects. (e.g. for product UI, brand campaigns, social, etc.)</li><li>
Collaborate cross-functionally with product designers, UI/UX teams, engineers, marketing, and other creatives to ensure motion supports both user experience and brand objectives.</li><li>
Manage multiple projects &mdash; scoping, scheduling, and delivering motion work on time, while maintaining high creative and technical standards.</li></ul><h1 class="jobSectionHeader">
What You'll Need</h1><ul><li>
7+ years of professional experience in motion graphics and animation work. This should include both product-facing and campaign/marketing work.</li><li>

Deep understanding of animation fundamentals: timing, spacing, anticipation, composition, visual rhythm, and design sensibility.</li><li>
Expert proficiency in industry-standard tools: e.g., Adobe After Effects, Illustrator, Photoshop, and preferably experience in Figma, Cinema 4D, or Blender.</li><li>

Experience developing or maintaining motion systems / design toolkits / templates for scalability across projects.</li><li>
Background in both motion for product (UI/UX) and motion for brand/marketing/advertising.</li><li>
Graphic design fluency. Comfortable with layout, hierarchy, and type sufficient to build and adapt visual assets directly. Just as importantly, good instincts for when motion adds clarity or emotion, and when a well-composed still is the stronger choice.</li><li>
Comfort working across 2D and 3D motion, and familiarity with compositing, post-production, and optimization for different platforms (web, mobile, social, broadcast, etc.)</li><li>
Experience mentoring or leading a small team of designers/animators, providing creative guidance and reviewing work.</li></ul><h2 class="jobSectionHeader">
