Design and build scalable backend and frontend systems powering AI-native filmmaking with strong engineering practices. | Strong system design and backend architecture experience, proficiency in full-stack technologies, and ability to build production-grade APIs and distributed systems. | About Us Flick is defining the future interface for AI native filmmaking. Think Figma and Cursor, but for creating AI films. Founded by Engineer who built Instagram Stories + Award winning filmmaker, we are a team of Tech + Artist. Well-funded by top VCs. Checkout our launch video Award-winning AI film created using Flick People talk about us on social The Role As a founding full stack engineer at Flick, you’ll build the core infrastructure powering AI-native filmmaking — from media generation interface to scalable backend systems. You will work directly with the founders, and have the opportunity to shape the future interface for AI visual storytelling. What you’ll do Design and build scalable backend systems for media generation, storage, and delivery. Architect APIs and services that power real-time, stateful creative workflows. Own end-to-end features across frontend, backend, and infrastructure. Ensure high performance and reliability across complex, async-heavy systems. Build and maintain integrations with AI model providers and compute platforms. Establish strong engineering practices: testing, observability, CI/CD, and code quality. Work closely with product and frontend teams to ship cohesive experiences. Requirements Strong experience in system design and backend architecture at scale. Proficiency across the stack (e.g. TypeScript/Node, Python, modern web frameworks). Experience building and maintaining production-grade APIs and distributed systems. Deep understanding of performance, concurrency, and reliability. High standards for code quality, testing, and maintainability. Ability to take ambiguous problems and turn them into clean, scalable systems. Startup mindset: ownership, speed, and pragmatism. Nice-to-have Love films and art. Have been a filmmaker, animator, video editor, game developer before Have experience in AI video generation. Have contributed in open-source projects, and coding for fun outside of regular work.

| The Role As our founding front-end engineer, you’ll build and ship the core editing experience of Flick — our canvas, timeline, and creative tooling. 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.
