A number of teammates chose to build again here - a reflection of the trust, culture, and conviction behind what we're building.
Motion uses artificial intelligence (AI) to support administrative and efficiency-focused aspects of our recruitment process.

Our ideal fit brings ✨ 6+ years of experience building and maintaining large-scale software applications.

Strong experience with asynchronous message queue systems.
Experience with MongoDB or other document-based databases.

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. 🌎
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.
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 & Runneth from our Co-Founder & CEO, Reza Khadjavi.
