New Vector backs the Matrix.org and Riot.im projects for open secure decentralised communication. Our mission is to create a universal open network and protocol for real-time communication. Recently the French government announced that they will build their messaging infrastructure on Matrix technology (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16933736)
Our flagship client Riot.im has grown exponentially since launch in 2016. Our (lofty) aim is to disrupt incumbent centralized services like Slack, WhatsApp and Discord by bringing to bear the unique open ecosystem of Matrix.org
To do this we are looking to hire a Head of Design, to own all aspects of UI and UX within the company. Not only to build a beautiful intuitive experience but also to push the boundaries of what a messaging app can be.
If you would like to know more, either write to us at jobs@riot.im or reach out to me via Riot.im on @neilj:matrix.org
