Staff Software Engineer (Work from Anywhere)

We are on a mission to empower designers and developers worldwide and are trying to fundamentally change the nature of creation and motion.

Lottie, a revolutionary format, can be best described as a movement, and LottieFiles is a company wrapped around it. By listening to the Lottie community, we’ve created a unique set of editing, workflow, and collaboration tools that seamlessly integrate with popular design software and developer environments such as Adobe After Effects, Figma, VS Code, and others. To make things easier for non-motion designers, users can take advantage of tons of free content available on our platform to get started too. We are looking for a Principal Software Engineer to spearhead this revolution in motion and help us create a big brand in the design industry.
