About the role
As PostHog's first in-house animator, you will establish the company's motion language from scratch and become the creative engine behind all animated visuals. Working alongside the Video and Graphics teams, you will illustrate and animate the hedgehog mascot, reimagine the product UI in 3D, and produce motion graphics for product launches, social shorts, mini-documentaries, and web features. This role requires an artist who can both draw original assets and bring them to life with broad creative freedom.

- Define PostHog's motion and animation language and establish foundational brand motion standards.
- Illustrate and animate PostHog's 2D mascot, defining how it moves, reacts, and shows personality.
- Produce animations for product launches, documentaries, changelogs, social shorts, and tutorials.
- Recreate and reimagine the PostHog UI in 3D space and animate icons that live inside the product.
- Build motion toolkits, templates, lower thirds, and transitions to streamline ongoing video production.
- Develop animation-only pieces end-to-end, from concept and scriptwriting to final delivery.
What you bring
- Advanced proficiency in After Effects, Illustrator, and Photoshop.
- Strong portfolio or showreel showcasing a wide variety of styles, including motion graphics, character animation, and illustration.
- Demonstrated ability to design and illustrate original assets rather than only animating external assets.
- Experience taking creative projects from concept to final delivery, including ideation and scriptwriting.
