About Flick

Flick is defining the future interface for AI-native filmmaking. Think Figma and Cursor, but for creating AI films. Founded by Ray Wang (engineer who built Instagram Stories) and Zoey Zhang (award-winning filmmaker). Well-funded by top VCs including Y Combinator, Google Ventures, True Ventures, and Lightspeed.

The Role

Founding front-end engineer. Lead the development of the core experience of Flick — the canvas, timeline, and creative tooling. Work directly with founders and shape the future interface for AI visual storytelling.

Responsibilities

• Lead the architecture and development of editor UI from the ground up (canvas, timeline, node graph, playback)

• Establish best practices for code quality, performance, testing, and maintainability

• Collaborate closely with design, product, and AI backend teams to shape end-to-end user experience

• Drive key technical and product decisions as part of the founding engineering team

Required Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience

• 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

• Passion for creating fast, intuitive, and beautiful creative interfaces

• Startup mindset: thrive in fast-moving environments, take ownership, solve ambiguous problems at scale

Nice-to-Have Qualifications

• Experience with video editors, creative canvas, animation/keyframe systems, design tools, node-graph editors, or similar

• Love films and art

• Open-source contributions and personal coding projects outside regular work

Compensation

• $100,000 – $200,000 / year + 0.10% – 1.00% equity
