Software Developer, AI Agent Developer – Contract

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Philippines.

📋 Description

• Design and develop interactive vector animation systems using Rive, incorporating state machines, pointer/touch listeners, bone-driven elements, data binding, and real-time responsiveness.

• Produce high-quality motion graphics and video assets in After Effects, ensuring perfect transparency, reversible timelines, loopable sequences, and web-optimized exports (ProRes 4444, WebM, etc.).

• Create minimalist line-art animations that smoothly transition into more organic, lifelike motions while preserving a cohesive visual identity.

• Develop cursor- and touch-responsive interactions (subtle repulsion, attraction, sway, micro-movements) that are intuitive and enjoyable.

• Design and enhance multi-layer experiences that integrate dynamic backgrounds, transparent video, and interactive vector overlays, achieving 60 fps without visual conflicts.

• Establish motion design frameworks that function effectively in both light and dark modes, utilizing a restrained grayscale palette with one consistent accent color.

• Collaborate daily with front-end developers on integration, event management, responsive behavior, and performance optimization within Angular components.

• Optimize all deliverables for file size, loading speed, and cross-device performance (desktop, tablet, mobile touch).

• Provide clean, well-documented source files, export settings, and technical support to ensure smooth implementation by the engineering team.

• Offer strategic insights on how motion can enhance user engagement, brand perception, and conversion rates on key marketing pages.

• Optionally develop lightweight Canvas or Three.js fallbacks as necessary.

• Work remotely from the Philippines, maintaining at least 3–4 hours of overlap with US Eastern Time on most days.
