TL;DR: WHY CHOOSE FLINT? ⚡ We're winning quickly: Backed by Accel, by the same partner who led the first round for Scale, Vercel, and Sentry, plus Sheryl Sandberg's fund SBVP and Neo. We launched in February 2026 (announced here https://www.linkedin.com/posts/michlimlim_flint-ai-builds-you-on-brand-pages-for-every-ugcPost-7432095475916230656-gUBS/?utm_source=social_share_send&utm_medium=member_desktop_web&rcm=ACoAAB-lEvQBDMC4WORPKPe-emksA3DMuDZNghg), and are already powering pages that generate hundreds of thousands of dollars in pipeline + featured on CNBC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h84aSoFawQE&t=1259s. ⚡ Recognized names that turn heads: We've earned the trust of customers like Cognition, Glean, Langchain, Tandem, 11x, + more we don't publicly reference. (Our gong has been put to great use! https://www.linkedin.com/posts/michlimlim_help-me-settle-a-debate-with-laura-lee-activity-7399163641784332288-O9Yl?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAB-lEvQBDMC4WORPKPe-emksA3DMuDZNghg) ## ABOUT FLINT Flint is the agentic platform that ships pages from your brand and ad campaigns. AI doesn't replace marketers. It removes the work that should never have been theirs: building a one-off landing page for every keyword, every campaign change, every A/B test, then waiting on design and engineering to do it. Today we deliver on-brand pages on your own domain in minutes, with no rebuilds and no engineers. We're backed by Accel, Sheryl Sandberg (former Meta COO)'s venture fund SBVP, and Neo. ## THE VISION Sandberg instantly understood Flint's vision. "I was sharing how it took (me) five teams three months to build one A/B test just to increase conversion by 10% on our Google ad," Lim said. "And then she stopped me, [and] said, 'Michelle, it was 140 people at Meta who had to do this'." — TechCrunch Imagine a website that builds new pages, tests creative, and optimizes performance in response to real-world signals: competitive shifts, user behavior, trending search queries, the way an autonomous vehicle responds to road conditions and traffic. The marketer still owns the work that compounds and the work that requires taste: strategy, audience, creative direction, brand judgment. Flint takes the manual production off their plate so they get those hours back. ## THE TEAM "One of the most talent-dense AI startups... each member of the early Flint team has a track record, and as a team, they perform like athletes. Amazing to watch." - Dan Levine, Accel Flint is led by co-founders Michelle Lim https://www.linkedin.com/in/michlimlim/, Engineer #1 turned Head of Growth and Product at Warp, and Max Levenson https://www.linkedin.com/in/max-levenson-a6102199/, engineering leadership at autonomous vehicle startup Nuro, then Engineer #2 at Vooma (YCS23). Every single member of the Flint team has been a founding engineer / founder. Early stage best practices are in our team's DNA. Because of that, our team knows how to catalyze hockey stick growth, but just as critically, how to navigate it sustainably to create $XB valued companies. After all, we've done it before. We are alums of Netflix, Scale, and Shepherd (YC W21), and work together in-person out of historic Jackson Square. ## THE PRODUCT Companies have used Flint to hit goals like… - Ranking #1 on AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overview - Lifting ad conversion rates - Generating hundreds of thousands of dollars in pipeline revenue ## THE ROLE As a Software Engineer at Flint, you'll build the systems behind AI-native websites: agents that design and ship real web experiences, the code-generation and editing infrastructure under them, and the product that ties it together. It's a broad role by design: we're small, so you'll move across frontend, backend, and the agentic systems depending on where the hard problem is that week. ## WHAT YOU'LL OWN - Agentic systems that design and launch web experiences using current-best applied-AI techniques. - Flint's core application across frontend, backend, and infrastructure. - Evals, observability, and testing for AI systems, the work that makes generated output reliable. - Rapid prototyping with users, and turning what you learn into durable features. - Architecture calls that stick. - Projects end-to-end, from user-tested prototypes to the production systems they become. WE’VE ALREADY TACKLED PROBLEMS SUCH AS: - SOTA applied AI for frontend code generation and design systems - Novel UX patterns for AI-first software - Distributed multiplayer systems for collaborative editing - AST parsing and manipulation for generative code - …and there’s much more ahead. ## YOU'RE A FIT IF - You are a product-first engineer https://thezbook.com/code-first-vs-product-first who cares deeply about user experience. - You have strong full-stack experience and want to work across the whole stack. - You use the latest AI dev tools regularly (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, etc.). - You take ownership from problem to solution, learning whatever you need along the way. - You love building MVPs, testing them with users, and iterating fast. ## BONUS - You've used website builders (Webflow, Framer) or CMS platforms (Sanity, Contentful, Strapi). - You've shipped an LLM feature to real users and dealt with the part where it's non-deterministic and sometimes wrong. - You've worked at an early-stage startup or on a small team. ## FLINT IN THE PRESS - TechCrunch https://techcrunch.com/2025/10/14/sheryl-sandberg-backed-flint-wants-to-use-ai-to-autonomously-build-and-update-websites/ - Oct 2025 - Business Insider https://www.linkedin.com/posts/michlimlim_talked-to-business-insider-about-my-journey-activity-7391519642181193728-YpNL?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAB-lEvQBDMC4WORPKPe-emksA3DMuDZNghg - Nov 2025 - Pragmatic Engineer podcast https://www.linkedin.com/posts/gergelyorosz_what-is-it-like-to-be-a-founding-engineer-activity-7402081224443457537-1_tA?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAB-lEvQBDMC4WORPKPe-emksA3DMuDZNghg - Dec 2025 - CNBC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h84aSoFawQE&t=1259s - Dec 2025 - Follow us on Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/company/tryflintai and X https://x.com/tryflint/?utm_source=JD ## WHAT WE OFFER 🌆 Historic office in Jackson Square (with 2 rooftops and a shower) - tour virtually here https://www.linkedin.com/posts/michlimlim_we-rolled-a-pineapple-through-3000-sqft-of-activity-7367291407998324736-DRzf/ 💺 A crazy upside-down battlestation - tour virtually here https://www.linkedin.com/posts/michlimlim_some-people-donate-espresso-machines-to-the-activity-7381720109918113792-_OVS?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAB-lEvQBDMC4WORPKPe-emksA3DMuDZNghg 🌿 20 PTO days a year and full health benefits 🍽 Lunch and a fully stocked snack bar at the office, incl.

Features include automated A/B testing, analytics integration, form tracking, ad optimization, and an MCP/API for integration with GTM tools like Claude, Clay, and Relay.app. - **Flint MCP & API**: Enables teams to generate targeted account-based marketing pages directly from their existing workflow tools and CRM. ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly available (seed stage) - **Total Funding**: $5 million in seed funding (announced October 2025) - **Lead Investor**: Accel - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Sheryl Sandberg (via Sandberg Bernthal Venture Partners), Neo (existing backer) - **Key Customers**: Cognition (Windsurf), Modal, Graphite - **Growth Signals**: The company emerged from stealth in October 2025 and already has live, public-facing customers. Claims a 3x conversion rate increase and 50% reduction in CAC for customers. ## Competitive Advantages - **Autonomous optimization**: Unlike AI website builders (Lovable, Cursor) aimed at developers, Flint is built specifically for marketing teams to ship pages without any engineering maintenance. - **Brand consistency**: Captures a live site's exact component library rather than using templates — pages are perfectly on-brand and pass brand team review. - **Integration-first**: Works alongside existing CMS tools (Webflow, Framer, Next.js, WordPress, Sanity) and all major analytics/A/B testing tools. - **Founding team pedigree**: Led by Michelle Lim (Engineer #1 + Head of Growth and Product at Warp) and Max Levenson (Engineer #2 at Vooma, former autonomous vehicle engineer at Nuro). Team includes alumni from Netflix, Warp, Nuro, Figma, Scale AI, Reddit, and Meta. ## Strategic Focus - **Near-term**: Automating the full page creation workflow for marketing teams — from brand import to deployment — while customers still provide copy. Content writing functionality is approximately one year away. - **Long-term vision**: Websites that perform their own A/B tests, dynamically learn from visitors and market trends, and generate personalized pages per visitor (like Amazon product recommendations). - **GTM focus**: Selling directly to CMOs and growth teams at high-growth B2B SaaS companies. ## Why Work Here - **Founding team & culture**: A small, high-agency team of former founders and engineers from top-tier companies (Netflix, Warp, Nuro, Figma, Scale AI). The careers page emphasizes "building the future of the internet" with a flat, builder-focused environment. - **Growth trajectory**: Just emerged from stealth with $5M from Accel and Sheryl Sandberg — early-stage, high-impact roles available across engineering, solutions engineering, and design. - **Backed by top operators**: Investors include Sheryl Sandberg (former Meta COO), signaling strong network effects and strategic guidance. - **Open roles**: Currently hiring across Engineering, Solutions Engineering, and Design (per careers page). Roles appear to be in-person or hybrid given the San Francisco HQ. - **Notable perks**: 14-day free trial for customers (not a perk, but reflects product confidence). No information on specific employee perks (e.g., equity, benefits) is publicly available at this stage. ## Sources 1. [flint.com](https://www.flint.com/careers) 2.
