Responsibilities

As a Senior UI Motion Designer, you will be responsible for creating rich, engaging game animations that bring the live casino experience to life. This includes everything from micro-interactions on buttons, immersive betting flows, and celebratory win effects to dynamic transitions that enhance the gameplay experience. You will play a key role in shaping the look and feel of motion across our products, building scalable systems that ensure consistency, performance, and delight. Beyond crafting individual animations, you will define reusable patterns, component libraries, and global motion principles that scale across multiple games and platforms. You’ll collaborate closely with product designers, developers, and game teams to ensure animations not only look stunning but integrate seamlessly at the browser level.

Please note: We will only contact candidates who have provided their design project portfolio. Ensure you include a link or attachment showcasing your relevant UI animations work with your application
