From enabling seamless multilingual releases to eliminating the need for costly reshoots, Flawless solves critical challenges that slow down productions and limit distribution.
We are also setting the standard for ethical AI in entertainment. Our Artistic Rights Treasury (A.R.T.) is a rights management solution that protects artists and rights holders, ensuring that innovation moves forward with transparency and respect for creative ownership.
The Role
We're looking for exceptional software engineers to join our Product Engineering team and help shape the future of DeepEditor and TrueSync.
This role is open across multiple levels, from Senior Engineer through Staff and Principal Engineer. The level and scope of responsibility will be determined based on your experience, technical depth, leadership impact, and track record of delivery.
As a Software Engineer at Flawless, you'll play a hands-on role in building and evolving DeepEditor, (our AI-powered editing platform) and TrueSync (Our localisation tool). You'll work closely with engineers, scientists, product managers, and creative teams to deliver innovative products that redefine how stories are created.
You'll be embedded within a product team, writing code, solving complex technical challenges, and driving delivery from idea to production. More senior candidates will be expected to influence technical strategy, lead architecture decisions, mentor engineers, and drive initiatives that span multiple teams and products.
Our core technologies are TypeScript, React, and Python. We're looking for strong generalists who enjoy working across the stack and are excited by the challenges of building ambitious products at scale.
What We're Looking For
We're seeking deeply technical, product-minded engineers who thrive in collaborative, cross-functional environments and have a track record of delivering complex software products.
