Role

Who you are

You are ambitious and always looking for ways to improve
For most engineers, this role will give you the most responsibilities you’ve ever had, while holding you to higher standards than other companies you’ve worked at
Don’t rest on your past achievements — expect to work your hardest and do the best work of your career at Motion
You will receive lots of coaching and feedback that you should seek to grow from
You can take ownership of projects and lead them to completion while dealing with ambiguity and finding the right balance between speed and quality
You don’t need every detail and edge case spelled out for you because you can figure out the goals of the project and fill in the blanks
You are a fast learner and can quickly familiarize yourself with a complex product and code base
You aren’t afraid to tackle any part of the stack or learn a new unfamiliar technology
You are comfortable with the fact that working in a startup means working around tech debt
You have a strong understanding of how you can create the most impact, and don’t get lost in the weeds in details that don’t matter
You’re excited to work on whatever solves the biggest customer problems, not just the coolest technical challenges
You can collaborate effectively with other talented engineers and work well in an environment where the best ideas win
The median engineer at Motion has 9 years experience
You should expect your ideas to get challenged and to learn a lot from your coworkers

What the job involves

Motion is building the first end-to-end agentic work suite for everyday businesses. Unlike point solutions or bolt-on tools, Motion was built from the ground up with AI agents at the core
Our platform already powers project management, documents, sheets, calendars, meetings, knowledge, and communication — and now we’re layering in AI Employees that can autonomously execute work across all of it
What makes us different is that our agents are natively embedded in the platform. They’re not integrations, and they’re not copilots that just suggest things — they actually complete work with full access to data, context, and workflows
In just three months, AI Employees have grown from $0 to eight-figure ARR, and we’re only getting started
With backing from YC and Sam Altman, a $500M+ valuation, and hundreds of thousands of users, we’re well positioned to lead. Now we’re building agents that work with extreme accuracy and unlock an order-of-magnitude boost in productivity
Motion is intense, fast, and not for everyone. We're a great place to focus, learn, and accelerate your career
If you want to work with top talent, push yourself harder than you thought possible, and help redefine how AI gets deployed in the real world, then you’ll thrive here
Motion is undergoing a complete frontend re-architecture. As we scale from a small consumer app to a suite of B2B products, we need to maintain performance and scalability. Example initiatives include:
Implementing a local-first sync engine to keep data always up to date
Supporting offline mode
Splitting up the app into micro frontends
Dramatically reducing time to first paint
And many, many more deep initiatives
This will be a role where you will make long-lasting technical decisions and permanently shape the app
You will work with other staff+ engineers on the frontend and the backend to drive major technical initiatives across the finish line

Our take

Large companies deploy custom-built agents for everything from sales and marketing to customer support. However, SMBs don’t have the capital, manpower, know-how or time to develop these business-accelerating tools. Wonderly, formerly Motion, is out to change that with its end-to-end AI platform for service businesses.

Currently working with SMBs across a diverse range of industries, Wonderly’s product offers web-building services, AI lead generation, sales, project management and communication tools, all for B2C companies looking to boost their revenue.

Since rebranding from its project management app, Motion, Wonderly has expanded its concept of time-saving for businesses and, in just two years, has created a tool that’s attracted hundreds of customers. Operating on the principle that “if you can explain your business to a neighbor, you can turn on Wonderly”, it’s created what could be a game-changer for the B2C and SMBs out there that feel the AI boom has left them behind.
