"The AI company that's revolutionizing Hollywood"

Flawless is transforming Hollywood with assistive AI. Our tools empower filmmakers to edit, localize, and refine performances while preserving artistic intent.

Designed to support, not replace, artists, our technology expands what is possible on screen and gives creators freedom to tell stories with greater impact and reach audiences in new ways. 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

As a Principal Engineer in our Product Engineering team, you will be both the hands-on technical anchor for our DeepEditor product and a principal-level leader influencing work across the department. Day to day, you’ll embed directly within the team - writing code, solving problems alongside other engineers, and unblocking delivery - while also guiding architecture, strategy, and technical standards for DeepEditors long and short form offerings. You’ll mentor senior engineers, shape key technical decisions, and ensure our products meet the highest standards of quality, performance, and innovation.

Our core technologies are TypeScript, React, and Python. We’re looking fora strong generalist that is happy to work across the stack to deliver robust, scalable solutions.

The ideal candidate is both a technical problem solver and a culture builder, elevating engineering practices while enabling fast, high-quality delivery.

    • Enhance performance, stability, and scalability across the DE stack.

    • Proactively identify and address risks to delivery and quality.

Qualifications & Experience

- Skills Interview: 60 minutes, for this role, this will be a live programming test with 1-2 of our current engineers. These tests skew more practical. We want to see strong problems solving skills and engineering fundamentals as you build a working solution to a proposed problem

- Team Interview: 2.5-3 hours onsite Interview where you will meet a variety of your potential future colleagues. This will involve a project deep dive, a system design interview and a Behavioural interview.

Your Recruiter and hiring manager will be your main point of contact and prepare you for interviews. You’ll meet 4 to 6 people from across the business. (We make sure that you have time in each interview to ask them questions). If we don’t give an offer, we’ll provide feedback!

I don’t meet all the listed requirements—should I still apply?

Absolutely! Research shows that women and underrepresented groups often hesitate to apply unless they meet every qualification, but at Flawless, we actively work to break down those barriers. We believe diverse perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds make us stronger, and we are committed to supporting and elevating underrepresented talent. If you're excited about the role, share our values, and believe you can contribute meaningfully, we encourage you to apply—even if you don’t meet every single requirement.
