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.
What they ask for
About Flick
Flick is an AI filmmaking software that lets people create Hollywood-level short films completely using AI end-to-end. There are many AI tools that can give you 8-second casual clips to post on social media, but when it comes to creating truly high-quality films with coherent storylines, consistent characters, and cinematic aesthetics, they don’t come close due to their lack of flexibility, creative control, and fragmented creative flow. Founded by an award-winning filmmaker and a founding engineer at Instagram, Flick defines an interface specifically designed for native AI filmmaking that feels natural and enables end-to-end creative flows. Think of Flick as Figma for AI filmmaking. There are 4 complete AI short films created using Flick that got 20+ awards in international film festivals already and our early creator residency community are generating several AI short films every week. We are also building a community where we produce our own AI films as well as collaborating with other well-known filmmakers to share their “behind-the-scenes” workflows as resuable templates to inspire users in our community. We not only build product, we also build world-class content. The whole film industry will be revolutionized by AI and our goal is to be “the product” that defines this category.
