About Flint: the AI-native website platform for fast-growing companies

Flint is an AI-native website platform for fast-growing companies. Our intelligent system helps create brand-compliant websites, run continuous A/B tests, deliver personalized content, and launch high-performing campaigns—without requiring agencies or consultants.

Unlike most founding engineering roles, this is a unique chance to work with someone who has been in your shoes - our founder was previously the first engineer at Warp.dev. She understands what it takes to build a successful career as a first engineer, whether you want to develop your technical expertise or gain the skills to become a founder.

Our mission is to empower anyone with a great product or service to reach their audiences. We are a design-forward company deeply committed to understanding our users. We believe our success will come from excellence in both design and engineering.

The Opportunity

Managing digital presence and website maintenance poses major challenges for founders and CMOs. Traditional low-code platforms like Webflow haven't solved the problem—companies still need to hire external Webflow specialists, which slows down growth initiatives. Marketing teams also struggle with fragmented operations across various tools. Flint solves these issues by using AI to simplify website management. Through natural language commands and multimodal AI, we turn complex multi-team processes into streamlined single-person workflows. This enables powerful features like hyper-personalization and automated landing page creation.

As a design engineer, you will be essential to the 0-to-1 phase of a startup. You will…

• Build and maintain the core frontend application using Next.js and Tailwind CSS
• Lead the full frontend development lifecycle—from implementing UI components to optimizing performance
• Lead technical discussions on implementing design systems and component libraries in Flint website templates. You'll play a crucial role in developing AI-powered methods to extract design systems from existing websites.
• Work closely with the CEO to develop both short-term and long-term product vision
  • Transform low-fidelity concepts into high-fidelity designs while participating in creative brainstorming
  • Explore innovative questions like "What if a website builder could hear and see?" and "How might an AI website builder work without a chat interface?"—then turn these ideas into high-fidelity concepts
• Create interactive prototypes to gather quick customer feedback and iterate on designs. See this for an example of a design prototype
• Define Flint's brand identity and design our first marketing website
• Contribute to various business functions and help drive our company's growth to the next level
