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.
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 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!
▶️ Brief overview of the Motion product from our Co-Founder & CEO, Reza Khadjavi.
About the Executive IC, Engineering role 🔍
Most engineering leaders stop writing code the moment they inherit an org, but the best ones never wanted to. They built and ran teams because that was how you gained leverage, but they were always ICs at heart. In the AI era the math has changed: a single engineer with the right agentic workflow can now outship a team of thirty.
We’re looking for people who have already run teams as an Executive and now want to return to the trenches, own a customer-facing surface end-to-end, and set the bar for what one person can build.
Jean-Michel Lemieux, the former CTO of Shopify, just joined a Series B startup as an Executive IC. His title inspired ours, and transitions like his are our reference point. If that's the kind of move you've been waiting to make, this is your seat.
| Our tech stack: React, Node.js with Express, TypeScript, GraphQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Azure.

What you'd be doing 🛠️
- Owning a meaningful surface of Motion's product end-to-end and setting the quality bar by shipping it yourself.
- Using AI tooling to operate with the leverage of a whole team and helping shape how AI is used across the engineering organization.
- Raising the craft and velocity of the engineering team by example, not by managing it.
Our ideal fit brings ✨
- A long track record of building and shipping software, including leading engineering organizations as a Founder, C-suite leader, VP, or Director, while remaining deeply hands-on.
- A development workflow already built around AI coding agents, where tools like Claude Code and Cursor are second nature.
- The judgment to make big technical calls and the ability to implement them yourself.
- The mindset of someone who could start their own company but would rather join one that's already moving fast.
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 or the United States, 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!
Motion uses artificial intelligence (AI) to support administrative and efficiency-focused aspects of our recruitment process. All interviews and hiring decisions are made by (human) members of the Motion team.
