Musopia is taking a step forward as they are building completely new mobile applications to help people engage with music. They are now looking for an UX Designer to lead and improve the current Musopia apps and design and build the future of apps that engage with music! 

As an UX Designer, you will join Musopia at an interesting phase, as you get to participate in a key role designing completely new, innovative mobile applications starting from mapping user needs, prototyping and taking ideas from sketches to production.
