About the job

About Motion

At Motion, we are pioneering the first comprehensive agentic work suite tailored for everyday businesses. Unlike other point solutions or add-on tools, our platform is meticulously crafted with AI agents integrated at its core. Motion seamlessly combines project management, documents, spreadsheets, calendars, meetings, knowledge sharing, and communication , and we are now introducing AI Employees capable of autonomously executing tasks across these functionalities.

What sets us apart is the native embedding of our agents within the platform. They are not mere integrations or copilots offering suggestions; they actively manage work with complete access to data, context, and workflows. In just three months, our AI Employees have scaled from $0 to achieving an eight-figure ARR, and we are just getting started.

Supported by Y Combinator and Sam Altman, with a valuation exceeding $500 million and hundreds of thousands of users, we are strategically positioned for leadership in this space. We are focused on developing agents that operate with high accuracy and deliver a substantial increase in productivity.

Motion is an intense, fast-paced environment that isn’t for everyone. However, if you aspire to work alongside exceptional talent, challenge yourself beyond your limits, and contribute to redefining real-world AI deployment, you will thrive here.

About The Role

We are looking for a seasoned software engineer who can make pivotal technical decisions and oversee substantial software projects to help Motion achieve its next significant growth milestones. The role can be focused on frontend, backend, or full-stack development, depending on your expertise.

Our engineering team is dedicated to maintaining a high talent density, accomplishing in weeks or months what larger teams might need years to achieve. We have a multitude of initiatives on our product roadmap aimed at exponentially increasing the value we deliver to our customers. As an engineer at Motion, you will engage in our most impactful projects and take ownership of critical components of our product code.

To excel in this role at Motion, you should:

  • Demonstrate ambition and a continual desire for improvement. This position will present you with significant responsibilities and will hold you to higher standards than those encountered in other companies. If you seek personal growth through coaching and feedback, this is the environment for you.

  • Exhibit the ability to take ownership of projects and drive them to completion while navigating ambiguity and complexity.

About Motion

Motion is at the forefront of developing intelligent solutions that enhance productivity for everyday businesses. Our unique platform integrates AI agents that work natively within our ecosystem, allowing users to streamline their workflows and maximize efficiency. With significant backing and rapid growth, we are committed to transforming the future of work.
