The position

Job description

Mojo is a mobile app for creating incredible animated social content. Users can choose from hundreds of animated templates, customize them to their needs and share them on all social platforms.

Mojo was launched in 2018 and is now the #1 app for creating animated content for social media.
The app recently reached 30M installs with an average rating of 4.9 out of 5 and hundreds of thousands of paying subscribers.

At Mojo, we believe that creating great visual content should not require technical skills.

That’s why we want to put a design agency in every pocket.

With a designer in hand, we make it easier for people to become creators, shop owners, marketers, or artists - and earn a living from it.**


Preferred experience

CANDIDATES BASED IN EUROPE OR UK ONLY

“A unique opportunity to work on an app that has millions of users. The role encompasses performance, optimization, threading, low-level programming, and video rendering. The result being very visual and ever-changing! ”

Missions 🎯

Your job will consist in coding gorgeous animated templates and visual effects for the millions of users of the Mojo app.

You will be part of the creative content squad and will be working directly with the design team and the graphic engine team: The heart of our company.

The creative content you create for the app defines our product and empowers our users to create grade A design content without any design knowledge.

Our design team will come up with new animated designs for templates, and you will turn those designs into code so they can be added to the app.

Here is a simple example of an animated template.

You will have to turn the different elements composing the design into code, specifically:

  • the layout: sizes, margins, positioning, constraints, etc.
  • the visual elements: colors, stock media, fonts, graphic elements, etc.
  • the animations: timings, durations, easing functions, values change, etc.

In order to do so, you will have to:

  • analyze and break the animated designs into elements that can be coded
  • dive into graphic and motion design tools (Figma, Photoshop, Sketch, After Effects, etc.) to extract the information to reproduce the designs with pixel and timing perfections
  • code those visual elements with a responsive approach so users can edit the format, the media, and the texts without breaking the design
  • test those templates in different conditions to make sure they support all the use cases

Key Outcomes

  • Add new templates to the Mojo app on a weekly basis
  • Help improve the format used for templates, to make creative coding more efficient and less time-consuming
  • Work with the graphic engine team to add the missing graphic features that are needed for new templates
  • Look out for new graphic and motion design trends that could benefit the Mojo app

Skills ✨

  • Design integration: you have at least 2 years of experience turning designs into code
  • Graphic & Motion design: you can design simple layouts and animate static designs from scratch
  • Visual Sense: you are good at breaking down graphic compositions into distinct visual elements. You can tell when a design implementation is pixel-perfect, and you have a trained eye for timings and animations.
  • Coding languages: you have experience with markdown languages (JSON, XML, HTML, CSS, etc.)
  • Basic Math: you can use basic math formulas & geometric calculations to obtain simple graphic results
  • Visual coding: having some basic knowledge of OpenGL and a shading language would be a great plus
