Design at Brex

Whether crafting interfaces, shaping product strategy, or harnessing AI to empower our users, we obsess over quality and clarity. This is a team where creativity meets high craft, and where designers grow by building for ambitious customers.

What you’ll do

Brex is looking for a Sr. Motion Designer to join our Design team — a cross-disciplinary group of creatives that’s defining how Brex looks, moves, and communicates across every customer touchpoint.

You’ll lead the creation of polished product demos, thoughtful UI animations, and compelling brand campaigns that bring clarity, energy, and emotional resonance to our platform. From launch videos and feature walkthroughs to educational content and social assets, your work will help define a motion language that feels distinctly Brex — and becomes essential viewing for modern finance and product teams.
