Matrix is an early-stage (5 employees; pre-product; recently raised $3M from Galaxy, Samsung, Sam Altman, Dapper Labs, etc.) startup looking for a frontend leader who will play a key role in helping us build out our engineering and design teams.

You are:

• interested in the creator/digital economy and building out new entertainment systems

You will:

• Take rough mockups or product specifications and turn them into production-ready screens
• Make simple vector icons or graphics as necessary

Qualifications:

• Comfortable with design and illustration tools such as Figma or Sketch and Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop
• Familiarity with common video game language and paradigms, particularly those from free-to-play mobile games (e.g. "battle pass", "gacha")
• Experience making high-fidelity screens for user interfaces
• Experience creating video game interfaces would be an added plus
• Experience making animations/motion graphics (Lottie, After Effects, etc.) is also a plus
