# Join SimpleX Chat team
SimpleX Chat Ltd is a seed stage startup with a lot of user growth in 2022-2023, and a lot of exciting technical and product problems to solve to grow faster.
SimpleX Chat is a seed stage startup with a lot of user growth in 2022-2025, and a lot of exciting technical and product problems to solve to grow faster.
We currently have 6 full-time people in the team.
We currently have 4 people in the team.
We want to add 2 people to the team.
We are looking for passionate and creative people to help us!
## Who we are looking for
### Web designer & developer for a website contract
### Mobile application developer
You will work with the founder and a product marketing expert to convert the stories we want to tell our current and prospective users into interactive experiences.
You:
- created mobile applications for Android platforms as **your own full-time or side projects**,
- expertise with Android APIs, Kotlin and JetPack Compose framework,
- [a good taste](https://paulgraham.com/taste.html) for mobile apps design would be a bonus.
You are an expert in creating interactive web experiences:
- 15+ years of web development and design experience.
- Passionate about communications, privacy and data ownership.
- Competent using PhotoShop, 3D modelling, etc.
- Competent in Web tech, including JavaScript, animations, etc.
It is not a full time job yet, we have some specific problems to solve in the Android app. If we are happy working together it is likely to evolve into a full-time job offer in 2026.
We will NOT consider agencies or groups – it must be one person working on the project.
### Application Haskell engineer
You will work with the Haskell core of the client applications and with the network servers.
You are an expert in language models, databases and Haskell:
- expert knowledge of SQL.
- Haskell strictness, exceptions, [concurrency](https://simonmar.github.io/pages/pcph.html), STM, [type systems](https://thinkingwithtypes.com).
- 15y+ of software engineering experience in complex projects.
- deep understanding of the common programming principles:
- data structures, bits and bytes, text encoding.
- [functional software design](https://mitp-content-server.mit.edu/books/content/sectbyfn/books_pres_0/6515/sicp.zip/index.html) and algorithms.
- protocols and networking.
## About you
- **Passionate about joining SimpleX Chat team**:
- already use SimpleX Chat to communicate with friends/family or participate in public SimpleX Chat groups.
- passionate about privacy, security and communications.
- interested to make contributions to SimpleX Chat open-source project in your free time before we hire you, as an extended test.
- you founded (and probably failed) at least one startup, or spent more time working for yourself than being employed.
- **Exceptionally pragmatic, very fast and customer-focussed**:
- care about the customers (aka users) and about the product we build much more than about the code quality, technology stack, etc.
- believe that the simplest solution is the best.
- 2-3x faster than the most competent people you worked with.
- focus on solving only today's problems and resist engineering for the future (aka over-engineering) – see [The Duct Tape Programmer](https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2009/09/23/the-duct-tape-programmer/) and [Why I Hate Frameworks](https://medium.com/@johnfliu/why-i-hate-frameworks-6af8cbadba42).
- do not suffer from "not invented here" syndrome, at the same time interested to design and implement protocols and systems from the ground up when appropriate.
- **Want to join a very early stage startup**:
- high pace and intensity, longer hours.
- a substantial part of the compensation is stock options.
- full transparency - we believe that too much [autonomy](https://twitter.com/KentBeck/status/851459129830850561) hurts learning and slows down progress.
Please ONLY apply if you created and released your own apps (not as a job or contract for somebody else).
