### About Us

[Flick](https://flick.art) is defining the future interface for professional AI-native filmmaking.

-   Founded by an engineer who helped build Instagram Stories and an award-winning filmmaker, Flick brings technology and artistry together.
-   We are well funded by leading investors, including True Ventures, GV, Lightspeed, and other top-tier VCs.
-   Checkout our [](https://youtu.be/K1GgsSnwfow?si=taFwiulaMSu3kPNV)[launch video](https://x.com/flickartHQ/status/2054951575492378672?s=20)
-   Award-winning [AI films](https://flick.art/tv) created using Flick

### The Role

As our founding front-end engineer, you’ll lead the development of the core experience of Flick — our canvas, timeline, and creative tooling. You will work directly with the founders, and have the opportunity to shape the future interface for AI visual storytelling.

### **What you’ll do**

-   Lead the architecture and development of our editor UI from the ground up (canvas, timeline, node graph, playback).
-   Rapidly prototype and iterate on new creative workflows to validate ideas and user experience.
-   Establish best practices for code quality, performance, testing, and maintainability.
-   Collaborate closely with design, product, and AI backend teams to shape the end-to-end user experience.
-   Drive key technical and product decisions as part of the founding engineering team.

### Requirements

-   Experience owning and leading technical initiatives on high-performance web applications.
-   Strong expertise with modern front-end tooling (React, TypeScript, build systems, CI/CD).
-   Deep experience optimizing **complex UX interactions**, especially in editors, canvases, visual builders, or multimedia tools.
-   Ability to design scalable UI architectures and manage large, dynamic client-side state.
-   A passion for creating fast, intuitive, and beautiful creative interfaces.
-   Startup mindset: you thrive in fast-moving environments, take ownership, and solve ambiguous problems at scale.

### Nice-to-have

-   Experience with video editors, creative canvas, animation/keyframe systems, design tools, node-graph editors, or similar.
-   Love films and art.
-   Have contributed in open-source projects, and coding for fun outside of regular work.
