Job description

Rive Motion Designer / Developer

Location: Remote PST

Engagement Type: Freelance (Temp Employee W-4)

Reports To: Creative Director

About Us

UNFOLD is an award-winning digital creative agency based in Los Angeles, partnering with some of the world’s most dynamic entertainment and brand clients. We create culturally relevant, digitally driven work that connects audiences and brands across platforms.

The Role

Our Creative Team is seeking a Rive Motion Designer / Developer to help create polished, interactive motion experiences for digital campaigns, websites, product interfaces, and other platform-driven creative. This role is ideal for someone who brings strong motion design craft, hands-on Rive expertise, and enough technical fluency to collaborate closely with engineers.

You should be comfortable building animations in Rive, understanding how State Machines work, and structuring animation logic so it can be implemented cleanly. While this is not a full engineering role, you should understand implementation needs, communicate clearly with developers, and help route animation behaviors from design intent through production.

Here’s What You’ll Do Motion Design & Rive Production
  • Design and build high-quality interactive animations using Rive.
  • Translate creative concepts into motion systems that feel intuitive, responsive, and polished.
  • Prepare animation files with organized states, inputs, transitions, and reusable structures.
State Machine Logic & Interaction Design
  • Build and manage Rive State Machines to support interactive behaviors and animation routing.
  • Think through how animations respond to user actions, product states, and interface needs.
  • Partner with engineers to ensure animation logic is understandable and implementation-ready.
Creative Collaboration & Implementation Support
  • Work closely with designers, creative leads, and developers to bring interactive concepts to life.
  • Communicate technical considerations clearly without overcomplicating the creative process.
  • Support QA by identifying animation issues, interaction mismatches, or implementation gaps.
Here’s What It Take
  • Strong portfolio showcasing motion design, interactive animation, and Rive work.
  • Hands-on experience creating Rive animations with State Machines, inputs, transitions, and interaction logic.
  • Ability to collaborate with engineers and understand how animations are implemented in digital products or web experiences.
  • Strong motion design fundamentals, including timing, easing, hierarchy, and visual polish.
  • Familiarity with digital design workflows and tools such as Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, or similar platforms.
  • Agency, entertainment, gaming, streaming, or brand campaign experience preferred.
About Our Culture

UNFOLD is a minority-owned business led by two diverse founders who embrace diversity across all areas of the company. We are committed to building teams that reflect a wide range of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. Employment decisions are based on business needs, job requirements, qualifications, and performance. We strive to maintain a positive, safe, and respectful workplace and have a zero-tolerance policy for discrimination or harassment of any kind.
