## Job description

Hut 8 brings exceptional people together to solve the world’s most consequential problems at the intersection of energy and technology. Today, that means building infrastructure for AI at a pace and scale without precedent. Tomorrow, it could mean powering a new era of innovation through robotics, advanced manufacturing, or an industry that does not yet exist. Whatever the technology demands, our ambition holds: to build the defining physical infrastructure company of our generation.

We look for thinkers and builders with the rigor, humility, and ownership to solve problems at this scale. They start from zero and choose truth over tradition. They back the best idea, whatever its source. They bet on themselves and embrace the hard truths that force them to grow. Our commitment is to keep the path from idea to execution short, trust them with critical decisions and the work that follows, and surround them with colleagues whose curiosity extends beyond their expertise.

## ABOUT THE ROLE

The Motion Designer will help bring Hut 8's brand and stories to life through motion graphics, including animations for long-and-short-form videos, quick turn posts for social channels, and projects for internal events. You'll work closely with the brand and content teams to turn ideas into polished, on-brand motion pieces.

The ideal candidate has hands-on experience in After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, Figma, other design tools, a sharp eye for detail, and enthusiasm for learning from a broader creative team. This person should also be self-started with the ability to translate complex ideas into compelling visual formats that are easy to understand. The motion designer will support the production of everything from short-form social videos to explainer graphics for long-form documentaries and help expand our brand guidelines for video.

This is a hands-on, high-growth opportunity for someone looking to build their motion design career inside a fast-moving, in-house creative team.

Key responsibilities:

- Design and animate motion graphics for short-form and long-form video content, social media, and internal and external presentations.
- Support end-to-end production of animated content, from storyboarding through final delivery.
- Create and maintain templates, lower thirds, titles, and other recurring motion graphic elements to keep content on brand.
- Collaborate with producers, designers, and marketing partners to bring concepts to life within tight timelines.
- Edit and enhance video footage with motion graphics, transitions, and visual effects using After Effects and Premiere Pro.
- Build and maintain a library of reusable motion graphic templates, assets and MOGRTs for the broader team.
- Ability to translate complex ideas into compelling visual formats that are easy to understand.
- Assist with static design needs, such as social graphics, decks, and thumbnails, using tools like Photoshop and Illustrator.
- Stay current on motion design trends, tools, and techniques, and bring fresh ideas to the team.

## ABOUT YOU

- Experience in motion design, animation, or a related creative role (internships and freelance work count).
- Proficiency in Adobe After Effects, with familiarity with other Adobe Creative Suite tools such as Premiere Pro, Photoshop, and Illustrator.
- A strong portfolio or reel demonstrating motion graphics and animation work.
- A strong understanding of design principles, including typography, color, and composition.
- Comfortable managing multiple projects and deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
- Strong communication skills and openness to feedback from senior members of the creative team.
- A collaborative mindset and eagerness to grow within a hands-on creative team.
- Experience with 3D motion design tools such as C4D and Blender is a plus.
- Experience with AI tools for automation (Kling, Weavy) is a plus.

## ABOUT THE WORK ENVIRONMENT

This role is based in Miami. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.

## About Hut 8

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Hut 8 is an energy infrastructure platform that integrates power, digital infrastructure, and compute at scale to fuel next-generation, energy-intensive technologies including Bitcoin mining and high-performance computing (HPC/AI).
- **Entity Type**: Public (NASDAQ: HUT; TSX: HUT)
- **Headquarters**: Miami, Florida, United States
- **Founded**: 2017
- **Founders**: Not publicly listed as individual founders; the company emerged from the Hut 8 Mining Corp. lineage.

## Core Business
- **Primary industries**: Energy Infrastructure, Digital Infrastructure, High-Performance Computing (HPC), Artificial Intelligence (AI) Compute, Bitcoin Mining.
- **Target customers**: B2B; primarily enterprise and institutional clients needing purpose-built data centers, colocation, and compute capacity for AI and HPC workloads. Also includes institutional energy partners and Bitcoin mining operators.
- **Mission/Purpose**: To build a platform that evolves alongside energy-intensive technologies for decades to come—from world-shaping innovations today to the breakthroughs yet to be achieved. They take a "power-first, innovation-driven" approach.

## Products & Services
- **Energy Infrastructure (Power)**: Acquisition, development, and management of critical energy assets—powered land, interconnects, substations, switchyards, and generation assets. This is the foundational layer of their platform.
- **Digital Infrastructure (Data Centers)**: Design, build, monetize, and operate purpose-built facilities for energy-intensive applications (AI, HPC, Bitcoin mining). Key assets include the Beacon Point (1 GW AI campus) and River Bend (330 MW) sites.
- **Compute (HPC & AI)**: Operating businesses that acquire, deploy, and monetize specialized hardware for next-generation workloads. This includes their **Highrise.ai** subsidiary, which commercializes AI infrastructure and cloud capacity.
- **Bitcoin Mining & Managed Services**: Legacy and ongoing ASIC compute operations across sites in Alberta, New York, and Texas.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed in provided sources. As a public company (NASDAQ: HUT), market cap fluctuates with stock price.
- **Key Metric**: **1,020 megawatts** of energy capacity under management across 15 sites in the US and Canada (as of mid-2026). They recently commercialized the first phase of their 1 GW Beacon Point AI data center campus with a **15-year, 352 MW IT lease** carrying a base-term contract value of **$9.8 billion**.
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Macquarie (joint venture partner), a Fortune 200 renewable energy producer (JV partner), and institutional debt investors (closed $4.25 billion in investment-grade senior secured notes for Beacon Point).
- **Growth Signals**: Massive headcount growth (+55.7% year-over-year to 175 employees). Active job postings have grown +116.7% year-over-year (52 open roles). They are aggressively building out their AI/HPC commercial arm (Highrise.ai) and expanding their energy origination team.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Power-First Approach**: Unlike pure data center developers, Hut 8 originates and owns the power assets (land, interconnects, substations) first, giving them a structural advantage in speed and cost to market.
- **Multi-Use Case Flexibility**: They can deploy Bitcoin mining as a "transitional load" to generate cash flow while building out higher-return AI/HPC data centers on the same site. This allows rapid, cost-effective commercialization.
- **Scale & Financial Backing**: A 1 GW campus (Beacon Point) with a $9.8B contracted lease and $4.25B in investment-grade debt financing is a rare, institutional-grade asset in the AI infrastructure space.
- **Integrated Platform**: They own the full stack—power, physical data centers, and compute operations—enabling them to optimize assets for the highest risk-adjusted return over time.

## Strategic Focus
- **Scaling AI Infrastructure**: The primary current focus is commercializing the Beacon Point campus and building out River Bend for AI compute. The Highrise.ai subsidiary is central to this push.
- **Energy Origination**: Aggressively acquiring and developing new power assets (interconnects, substations) across North America.
- **Platform Optimization**: Actively managing the portfolio to transition assets from Bitcoin mining to higher-return HPC/AI use cases over time.
- **Capital Discipline**: Using creative financing (investment-grade notes, JVs) to fund massive capital expenditures while maintaining a disciplined balance sheet.

## Why Work Here
- **High-Impact Work**: Employees work at the intersection of energy and AI—two of the most transformative industries. The company is building infrastructure that powers the next generation of technology.
- **Culture & Values**: Certified as a **Great Place to Work®** and included in Newsweek's America's Greatest Companies. Culture is described as "ownership mindset," "merit-based decision-making," "no room for ego," and "the best idea wins." CEO Asher Genoot emphasizes "substance over flash."
- **Growth Trajectory**: The company is in a hyper-growth phase (55% headcount growth YoY, 117% increase in job postings). This offers rapid career advancement and the chance to shape a scaling organization.
- **Work Environment**: Headquarters in **Miami, FL**, with roles available in San Francisco, Baton Rouge, Nueces County (TX), and remote options for some positions (e.g., Director, Energy Origination is remote).
- **Notable Perks**: Working with a team of "sector veterans and proven builder-operators." Emphasis on intellectual rigor, ownership, and solving hard problems at scale.
