AI Product Engineer

About Motion

Motion is building the command center for creative strategists : an AI-native platform that bridges the gap between performance marketers and creative teams, so they can uncover what’s working, what’s not, and ship more winning ads across platforms like YouTube, LinkedIn, Meta, and TikTok.

⁠​

We’re at the forefront of AI as the foundation of Motion. Motion now automatically analyzes and organizes creative at scale, surfaces competitor trends, and is rolling out a persistent creative strategy agent that retains context, runs workflows, and integrates with the tools teams already use.

⁠​

Today, Motion is trusted by some of the world’s top e-commerce and direct-to-consumer brands and agencies (including Vuori, True Classic, The Farmer’s Dog, and HexClad) and has analyzed over $14B in media spend. When leading brands want to understand their creative performance, they turn to us.

Our founders have built successful companies before, including alongside several of the people now at Motion. A number of teammates chose to build again here — a reflection of the trust, culture, and conviction behind what we’re building.

The people building Motion are deeply embedded in where AI and our industry is heading, and obsessed with closing the gap between what's possible and what's actually shipping in product. We're a 70+ person team, having raised over $65M in total capital, with consecutive record revenue quarters and real momentum. If you want to work on a hard problem, with people who've done it before, and a product that customers genuinely love - we'd love to connect!

About the AI Product Engineer role

At Motion, the engineering team builds market leading software to accelerate the time to and quality of decisions made by creative strategists in paid advertising. Increasingly that means augmenting our users’ abilities with AI agents and intelligence drawing on the many many data sources we have available.

What you'd be doing ️

• Go through 2 days of industry specific and Motion specific onboarding, pair with a senior dev to set up the codebase, and push a feature in your first week.
• Own a major initiative in your first 3 months.
• Work on a small, high-ownership, cross-functional team, with weekly cycles.
• Build user facing product ranging from cutting edge AI support to onboarding to creative discovery tools.

Our ideal fit brings ✨

• 5+ years of experience turning designs and product requirements into products people love and use
• 0 to 1 experience
• Proficiency with React, TypeScript, and Node.js (or closely related technologies – we’re open)
• Excitement about using AI as part of your workflow and keeping up with how fast it’s changing how we build software
• Any background: self-taught, bootcamp, degree, founder. We love talent from everywhere

...and you'll be a strong fit if you align with these qualities:

• A strong sense of ownership: you make decisions, stand behind them, and fix things quickly when they’re wrong
• A pragmatic mindset. You optimize for impact over perfection, care more about shipping real customer value than polishing every edge, and improve things over time
• Comfort thriving in a fast-moving startup where requirements are ambiguous, shift quickly, and clarity isn’t handed to you – you create it
• You enjoy being a strong individual contributor and a supportive teammate. Engineering is a team sport here

What you'll love about Motion

• Competitive compensation package : We offer competitive compensation, including equity for all employees, health benefits from day one, a monthly health & lifestyle stipend to support your well-being, 20 days of PTO, and a $1,500 work-from-home stipend.
• Remote-first with hybrid flexibility : We're a remote-first company with team members spanning Canada, the U.S., and beyond, but also have office spaces in 4 main hubs (Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, and Porto) for optional hybrid work.
• Growth that speaks for itself : Motion has strong product-market fit, 2.5x YoY growth, second-time founders with deep industry knowledge, and $30M in Series B funding to fuel our momentum.
• Opportunity for impact : As an early team member, your contributions will directly shape the product, team, and the future of the company. If you're excited about building, you’ll thrive here!
• Award-winning team : We're a low-ego, high-performing team that was just ranked #19 on G2's list of Best Canadian Software Companies for 2026.
• Team connection :
  • Virtual: Day-to-day, we use Roam, an AI-powered virtual office platform that fosters spontaneous collaboration, drop into meetings or quick chats, and interact with colleagues for a simulated, "live" digital headquarters.
  • In-person: Outside of the option to go to one of our offices, our team gets together in-person for a week every two months, and we have a company retreat every summer.

We closed out 2024 with a $30M Series B raise and strong signals from our customers. In 2025, we built the foundational capabilities our customers rely on, setting the stage for what's to come. In 2026, with fresh funding ($65M+ total capital raised), we’re building forward from that foundation, taking what we learned to market in a deeply AI-native way.

A note on location : we're looking to hire someone based in Canada, the United States, or Europe but are open to exceptional candidates in other locations. If this position excites you and you believe you'd be a strong fit, we encourage you to apply!
