About Filmhub ?

Filmhub is where modern filmmakers distribute their titles directly to streaming services – without giving up their rights or dealing with the traditional distribution pain points and middlemen. Founded by Hollywood composer and innovator Klaus Badelt and Silicon Valley entrepreneur Alan d’Escragnolle, Filmhub takes the entire distribution process online. Filmmakers list their titles and Filmhub's Channel Partners – such as Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, The Roku Channel, rlaxx TV, TCL, Tubi, Xumo, and Plex – use the platform for discovery, automated licensing, asset fulfillment, and payment processing.

What's the opportunity? ?

Filmhub is seeking a top UI/UX Designer to take our visuals to a new level and to turn our software into a beautiful and easy-to-use product. You are in charge of creating digital product designs for various platforms including web and mobile. We are looking for a forward-thinking digital creative with a deep understanding of front-end code. Your responsibilities include gathering user patterns, creating visual flows, and designing the overall look and feel of our products all the way down to pixel-perfect screens and components. You keep up-to-date with graphic design and wireframe tooling and the latest developments in common user interface patterns. And you also love movies, filmmakers, and the creative process around making films and shows – and ideally, you have worked in the field, for example in film marketing or production.

Filmhub is not just another filmmaker tool. We offer an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to change the whole film industry. Filmhub runs on a powerful mission: to democratize the content distribution process, giving a voice to a wide variety of creators who otherwise have to compete in a hostile environment. We can do this only with cutting-edge technology and design.

If you have a portfolio of professional design projects that includes work with web and/or mobile applications, we’d like to meet you.

What will I be doing? ?
