ABOUT PLEXCHAT

An End to Internet Chaos

PlexChat is a venture-backed company dedicated to building the premier tool for social coordination in mobile games. Our mission is to create a way for large groups of people to communicate effectively in anonymous environments prone to internet chaos. We are in the very early stages and we’re looking for folks interested in playing a major role in something new.

We are building a cross-platform chat application that provides a high quality environment for large groups of people to communicate and coordinate in real time.

Holistic Thinkers. A backend does not exist in a vacuum. We need people that can consider how their decisions will impact the application’s performance and the user’s experience.
Professionals. We expect to move fast, but we are not interested in throwing something at the wall to see if it sticks. You should be deliberate in your decisions and care about the quality of your execution.
