Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Motion is building an AI-native platform for creative strategists, aiming to enhance decision-making in paid advertising. The AI Product Engineer will develop user-facing products and leverage AI to support creative teams, owning features from ideation to launch.
Responsibilities
- 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
Skills
- 5+ years shipping product. You've turned designs and product requirements into things people love and use. Ideally inside a small team where you owned end-to-end outcomes, not a slice
- 0 to 1 experience. You've taken something from blank page to shipped product, whether that's a startup you founded, a feature you owned end to end, or a side project that found real users. You're comfortable building without a spec, validating as you go, and changing course when we learn something new
- Strong proficiency in a modern web stack. We run on React, TypeScript, and Node.js, but we're open to any modern experience. If you've shipped production code in something comparable, you'll pick ours up quickly
- AI-forward by default. You're not just 'using AI', you're actively pushing how far it can take you. You're managing agents, building workflows, and letting AI do the heavy lifting while you focus elsewhere. Agentic engineering is the future of engineering work, and you're excited to see the shift
- Any background: self-taught, bootcamp, degree, founder. We love talent from everywhere
- High urgency, high ownership. The pace is fast and the autonomy is real. New engineers typically ship to production in their first week, own meaningful surface area from day one, and see their work in customers' hands in days, not weeks. We measure success by output and impact
- Pragmatic to the core. You optimize for impact, not perfection. Ship customer value first, smooth the edges once it's live
- At home in ambiguity. Requirements shift, priorities change. Clarity is rarely delivered on a silver platter, you create it as you go and keep moving
- Hands-on by default. You can go from designing an API to debugging a production issue. No task is beneath you, and 'I'll figure it out' is your starting point
- Clear, concise communicator. We're a small remote team that runs on focused, concise communication. You know when to add context and when to get to the point
- Low ego and collaborative. You do the work yourself and make everyone around you sharper. The bar is high, and engineering is a team sport
Benefits
- Equity for all employees
- Health benefits from day one
- A monthly health & lifestyle stipend to support your well-being
- 20 days of PTO
- $1,500 work-from-home stipend
- Remote-first with hybrid flexibility
- Office spaces in 4 main hubs (Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, and Porto) for optional hybrid work
- 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
