Senior Frontend Software Engineer
THE PRODUCT.
Flix is a visual story development tool for a feature film, TV production, games, and more. Designed to promote fast-paced creative collaboration, Flix removes the technical barriers that can cause frustration and slow you down. With Flix, directors, producers, story artists, editors, and 3D layout and previous artists can all collaborate in one easy-to-access place, letting them explore and iterate freely; deliver faster story turnarounds, and share involvement in the development of a project earlier in the process.
Moving the product forward to take advantage of cloud technologies is an important step in taking Flix forward. We are now rebuilding FLIX from the ground up, using modern technologies and design architecture.
As part of our hybrid working policy, you will be working twice a week in our London office.
