Job Description
Front End Engineer
Pickford AI
Pickford is building the next generation of storytelling. We're building expressive interactive narratives, while preserving storytelling's historical foundation as a tight loop between audience and creator. Our focus on story quality and audience engagement means we get to work with truly exceptional creators. Our AI expertise has attracted world-class researchers. Together we're defining a new category of media. All of this comes together in a UGC platform where creators can build, share, and collaborate on living stories which can only be powered by AI. Position Overview: In this role, you’ll own the user facing layer, turning complex and new paradigms into beautiful and fun user experiences. You will function as both designer and developer, ensuring our unique storytelling platform has an interface that enables users to truly love what they are watching and creators to bring their stories to life. We want you to sweat the details and flex your creativity beyond traditional design paradigms. We value people who ask “How can we make this work?” and who enjoy building solutions that don’t have obvious blueprints. You’ll work closely with a small, multidisciplinary team of engineers and storytellers who are committed to building something genuinely new. We’re looking for a Front End Engineer who can function as both designer and implementer, with a strong mobile-first mindset.
