Our Mission

To change how organizations do work.

Trao is an AI R&D lab for mid-market and enterprise companies. We research, design, build, and deploy software and AI systems.

We've delivered work across industries, including:

  • Large banks such as CommBank (one of Australia's largest banks)
  • The UK Government
  • US-based family offices
  • Numerous VC-backed startups

Behind the scenes is a team obsessed with over-delivering extremely high-quality work every single day. We are engineering-first, detail-oriented, and focused on solving real business problems through automation that most teams would consider impossible.

We work on very ambitious projects.

Work Style & Expectations

  • 6 days a week, 9 hours/day
  • Fully remote
  • More often than not, you will work beyond 9 hours
  • Fast timelines, real deadlines, real ownership
  • Daily collaboration with a small, strong team of engineers solving complex problems

If you are not deeply passionate about motion, design systems, and execution quality, this role will not be a good fit.

What You'll Do

  • Create high-quality motion graphics for product demos, system explainers, AI workflows, and brand narratives
  • Design animated UI flows and product walkthroughs
  • Build cinematic explainer videos for enterprise audiences
  • Translate complex technical systems into visually intuitive animations
  • Collaborate closely with engineers and designers to ensure technical accuracy
  • Develop reusable motion systems and animation frameworks
  • Iterate quickly based on feedback and evolving product direction

You will not be making generic Instagram reels. You will be visualizing complex systems.

Tools (You Must Be Strong Here)

  • After Effects (expert-level required)
  • Premiere Pro (strong working knowledge)
  • Figma (comfortable extracting design assets)
  • Spline or similar 3D tool (strong plus)
  • Understanding of UI/UX principles

Bonus:

  • Experience animating product interfaces
  • Experience working with technical teams
  • Basic understanding of software systems or AI concepts

What We're Looking For

  • Genuine obsession with motion design
  • Experience producing polished, professional-level animation
  • Strong visual storytelling ability
  • Comfort working in fast, ambiguous environments
  • High ownership, high stamina, high standards
