Our take
Element emerged from the creators of Matrix with the goal of nurturing and financing the Matrix ecosystem, which established a groundbreaking standard for open-source decentralised communication.
Recognising the significance of instant messaging for productivity, especially exemplified by platforms like SDlck and WhatsApp, Matrix and Element identified an unmet need for secure network-based services. This approach allows companies to retain complete control over their data, distinguishing Element in the market.
Financial backing will be put towards expanding its technology and enhancing its peer-to-peer architecture. The ultimate aim is to eliminate the necessity for servers, with a specific focus on refining Element's decentralised voice and videoconferencing services. This allocation of resources positions Element to not only meet current market demands but also to pioneer innovative solutions in secure communication technology.

Company values
- Work on something that matters: We believe that the future of the internet should be open and decentralised, that previously siloed communications platforms should be interoperable and that individuals should control their own data and choose who they share it with
- Work in the open: Almost all of the software written at Element is open source. Everything you do will be out in the open, you will be supported not only by your colleagues, but also by a huge community just as passionate about the project as you are
- Work on something genuinely interesting: We are building massively scalable decentralised infrastructure, that can be deployed in a distributed manner across 1000s of servers, or equally be deployed to a single Raspberry Pi
- Work with everyone: Our products are for everyone and we know we cannot succeed without a diverse team. Our hiring process is designed to be humane and give candidates the best possible chance to show us what they can do. If we ever fall down on this, please let us know
- Work in a culture to be proud of: People tend to stay with the company for a long time, we take this as a sign that we have a cohesive supportive culture, that we have engaging challenging work and that people can develop their skills and careers here for the long term
