Equity-Based Partnership | Co-Founder Role
About GridSeak
GridSeak is a frontier software company redefining how humans see, understand, and build code.
We're developing a
visual IDE for engineers.
GridSeak is a Tron-like world where code becomes art, structure becomes flow, and logic becomes beauty. Think: the elegance of physics, the clarity of Apple, and the immersive energy of Tron.
Our mission is to make
software engineering visual, intuitive, and cinematic.
Now, we're ready to bring that world to life on camera through breathtaking videos, cinematic VFX, and storytelling that inspires the next generation of creators.
The Role
We're seeking a
VFX & Video Production Co-Founder. Someone who can become
a bold, technical, and creative visionary who thrives at the intersection of
cinema, technology, and storytelling.
You'll be the creative force behind our visual identity, helping craft a cinematic world that merges real-world footage and 3D environments
from body-tracked Tron suits to digital landscapes and futuristic visual metaphors for software, freedom, and creativity.
You'll help shape how the world
feels
GridSeak.
You'll Be Doing
- Lead the
creative direction and production
of cinematic short films, YouTube videos, trailers, and visual demos that showcase GridSeak's world. - Create and composite
VFX scenes
(body tracking, holographic overlays, virtual suits, digital grids, motion graphics). - Direct shoots,
film on set
, and bring energy and presence in front of the camera when needed. - Integrate storytelling with technology using visuals to explain complex ideas (e.g., code visualization, AI, creativity, or human-tech harmony).
- Collaborate directly with the founder (Aden) to
define GridSeak's narrative voice and visual world. - Design and execute full production pipelines: concept → storyboard → filming → compositing → color → delivery.
- Contribute ideas for social content, teasers, behind-the-scenes, and brand storytelling across all platforms.
- Optionally help build the in-house cinematic pipeline
for future VR / holographic interactive content.
You Might Be a Fit If
- You're
obsessed
with storytelling through visuals. - You have proven skills in
After Effects, Blender, Unreal, DaVinci Resolve, or similar tools
. - You can body track, rotoscope, or composite futuristic elements (suits, HUDs, light grids).
- You understand
camera work, lighting, sound, and editing
or love learning every part of the process. - You love
Tron, Iron Man HUDs, Apple product videos, or cinematic storytelling in tech. - You think both artistically and technically
, and thrive in startup chaos. - You've dreamed of building something big and valuable for the world.
- You're willing to invest sweat equity for
meaningful ownership
and creative freedom.
What's in It for You
- Equity partnership
in an early-stage frontier software company with massive upside. - Creative freedom to shape
a world from scratch
visually, narratively, and emotionally. - Collaboration with a technical founder who values art, design, and storytelling as much as code.
- Future potential for revenue sharing, paid production budgets, and leadership of a growing creative team.
- Opportunity to leave a
permanent artistic and cultural mark
on how the next generation experiences technology.
Bonus Points For
- Experience in motion capture, body tracking (Rokoko, Kinect, Unreal Metahumans, etc.)
- A personal YouTube channel or previous cinematic VFX work
- Skills in color grading, sound design, or editing
- A reel that makes people
feel
something (awe, curiosity, or belief) - Passion for software, AI, or visual metaphors for human creativity
How to Stand out As You Apply
Send your portfolio or reel, your favorite work you've done (personal or professional), and a few lines on why this kind of project excites you to:
[Founder: Aden: ]

- A short intro about who you are
- Links to your work (YouTube, Vimeo, Instagram, etc.)
- Any relevant technical skills or gear you own
- Why you'd want to help

If you are truely passionate about what you do and you fit a large percentage of the critera above, lets talk, and potentially join us in building the
visual frontier of software.
