Flick, a YC F25 startup, is hiring a founding front-end engineer to build its AI filmmaking interface. Described as Figma and Cursor fused for AI film creation, Flick wants to define the interface for AI-native visual storytelling. The role pays $100K-$200K with equity and is based in Sunnyvale or remote.

The engineer will lead architecture for the editor UI—canvas, timeline, node graph, and playback—from scratch. The founders combine an Instagram Stories engineer with an award-winning filmmaker, blending tech and art. Their goal is a creative tool for rapid prototyping of AI films.

Requirements lean toward React, TypeScript, and high-performance web apps. Experience with video editors, animation systems, or node-graph tools helps. Flick is well-funded by top VCs and already has award-winning AI films in its portfolio.
