About Motion
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 You Tube, Linked In, Meta, and Tik Tok.
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 Hex Clad) and has analyzed over $14 billion in media spend. When leading brands want to understand their creative performance, they turn to us.
Our founders have built successful companies before, but what we’re most proud of is who chose to build again with them. 10% of our team worked with our founders at their previous company and followed them to Motion. That kind of loyalty doesn’t happen by accident, it’s built on trust, strong culture, and a shared belief in what we’re creating.
We're growing fast (2.5× year‑over‑year and now 70+ team members), our product is sticky, and with a recent $30 M Series B raise, we're just getting started. We’re building the future of creative intelligence and are looking for talented people to help us get there!

Store insights and metrics from our data providers at scale.
Our ideal fit brings ✨
6+ years of experience building and maintaining large‑scale software applications.

Comfort thriving in a fast‑moving startup where requirements are ambiguous, shift quickly, and clarity isn’t handed to you—you create it.
You enjoy being a strong individual contributor and a supportive teammate. Engineering is a team sport here!
