About Flint Flint is the first autonomous website platform. We’re building a future where sites can observe, reason and act on their own, adapting in real time to the needs and desires of people and AI agents alike. We’ve raised a $5M seed round led by Accel, alongside Neo and Sheryl Sandberg’s fund, to accelerate this vision. Early adopters include Cognition, creator of the first AI software engineer, and Modal, the leading AI compute platform.

Customers have used Flint to hit goals like…

Ranking #1 on AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overview

Driving 50% higher ad conversion rates on Google Ads months ahead of schedule

Generating hundreds of thousands of dollars in pipeline revenue.

The first version of Flint's autonomous website platform produces on-brand landing pages from content briefs and prompts in minutes. Flint ingests a company's existing design system – components, brand guidelines, and visual tokens – then generates fully-coded landing pages that live on the customer’s top-level domain, on a subfolder at URLs like companysite.com/campaign-name

The Role This is a role for the consummate creative technologist who not only designs, but also codes. You will get to directly implement product flows you design, and use the most cutting edge web technologies to push the limits of websites.

Very uniquely at Flint, design is the product. It’s not just about designing our user’s interface. It’s also about designing the design systems the Flint sites rely on - creating a system that at once can reproduce frontends reliably but also one that AI agents can understand. It’s also about incorporating taste into the AI to produce beautiful websites for our customer’s users.
