appflame — a Ukrainian IT company building world-class products: Hily, Taimi, AdConnect.

Who we are today:

• 7 years on the market, 500+ employees, offices in Kyiv, London, and Limassol, plus a coworking space in Warsaw.
• In 2025, appflame ranked 5th among Ukraine's 50 best employers according to Forbes and won in the "Place for Growth" category.
• Our apps Hily and Taimi are among the Top 5 dating apps in the U.S., with over 70 million users. AdConnect and Mailkeeper build and scale our own B2B and B2C solutions.

Our mission: Flame up the world with Ukrainian products.

Our goals:

• Reach the top 5 product companies in the world.
• Become a unicorn — and turn Ukraine into a country where unicorns are born and thrive.

We're looking for daring, ambitious, and "a little crazy" people — those who love building real products and dream of launching cool startups. You have the ambition; we have the conditions to make it happen.

Your project:

You will join a fast-growing product with a creative production team at its core. We run high-volume performance marketing campaigns, and creatives are what drives the result — every week we test new concepts, formats, and angles. Right now our motion production is at full capacity, so you're joining to expand it: more tested ideas, more room for exploration, and more space for new formats. You'll work in a team where your animations go live fast and their impact is measurable.

You will:

• Create short-form video ads for performance marketing campaigns based on briefs, references, and creative concepts.
• Build animations using typography, UI elements, graphics, product assets, and other visual materials.
• Adapt and iterate creatives for different concepts, formats, audiences, and placements.
• Handle standard creative production tasks independently.
• Work closely with Creative Marketing Managers and fellow Motion Designers.
• Implement feedback and continuously improve both the quality and the speed of your work.
• Analyze references and advertising trends to sharpen your visual and creative skills.
• Take part in creative discussions and gradually bring your own ideas to the table.

We'll be a match if you:

• Have more than 1 year of commercial experience as a Motion Designer, with a solid portfolio.
• Are confident working in Adobe After Effects.
• Understand composition, typography, color, and animation principles.
• Can work with briefs and references.
• Are attentive to detail and open to feedback.
• Feel comfortable in a fast-paced creative production environment.
• Are motivated to grow professionally and take on more responsibility over time.
• Have English at Intermediate level or above.

Nice to have:

• Experience with creatives for performance marketing (Meta, Google, native placements).
• An eye for ad trends and an interest in testing new formats before they become mainstream.
• Interest in using AI tools to speed up production without losing quality.
