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.
