Role overview
SoftwareLondon, United KingdomSeed (VC-backed)
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 also grew profitable. 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.
