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 our product. Motion now automatically analyzes and organizes creative at scale and surfaces competitor trends. And with Runneth - the AI brain for the 100x marketer - we're going further: a persistent creative strategy agent that lives where your team already works (Slack, Notion, Google Drive, your ad data) and turns a marketer's knowledge and instincts into cross-channel playbooks, automated workflows, and a system that gets smarter over time. Our bet isn't that AI replaces great marketers. It's that the best marketers will use AI to operate at a scale that wasn't previously possible.
⁠​
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.
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 75 person remote team backed by $65M+ in funding with a valuation that's nearly 3x'd in under two years. 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!
If building is the part you loved in that experience, this is that job with a team and a product that you don’t need to bootstrap from nothing.




Applying for this role includes a process of working out how you’d fit in on the team - all startups have more significant work than people to do it. Platform (cloud infra, DBs, centralised services and APIs), Harness (our agentic harness Runneth, the VM it runs on, and the primitives that the Runneth experience is built on), and Runneth itself (everything customer-facing). What we do know: you'll be building AI-powered features across the product, and you'll own what you ship.
Internally you'd join as a senior+ engineer. You bring the ownership mentality and shipping pace that founding teaches, we bring an 80-person team, runway, challenges, and a product customers already rely on.
React, Node.js with Express, TypeScript, GraphQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Azure.

Shipping features across the product: understand the problem, make the call, build it, and own the outcome.
Shipping to production in your first week and owning a significant initiative in your first month.
Working with the team to use more AI better and improving things across the stack from your experience
You were the technical founder, co-founder, or one of the first engineers at a startup, and you personally wrote a meaningful share of the code, recently.
Years of shipping product, ideally in a small team where you owned the outcome
Comfort building without a spec.
You're skeptical about AI.



We're betting hard on not just agentic coding, but on Runneth is a bet on the idea of agentic employees. 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.and beyond, but also have office spaces in 4 main hubs (Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, and Porto) for optional hybrid work.
Motion has strong product-market fit, 2.5x YoY growth, second-time founders with deep industry knowledge, and $65M in funding to fuel our momentum.
If you're excited about building, you’ll thrive here!
We're a low-ego, high-performing team that was just ranked #19 on G2's list of Best Canadian Software Companies for 2026.
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.
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.
We use artificial intelligence (AI) in certain parts of our recruiting process at Motion, ranging from administrative and efficiency-focused support to, in some cases, conducting introductory interviews. Every AI interview is reviewed, and every hiring decision is made, by a (human) member of our team.
