Nex Playground is redefining how families play — bringing motion-based, camera-powered gaming into the living room. A key part of our go-to-market motion is the in-store retail demo experience, where customers at retailers like Target, Costco, and Walmart get hands-on with Nex Playground games before they buy.
We are looking for a Software Engineer (Retail Demo) to innovate and iterate on the overall end-to-end retail demo experience. It involves a dedicated motion-base activation / launcher, showing our users what our technologies can do and how fun it is.
You will be working with a focus team to maintain the software involved. We will also be doing regular updates to showcase our latest games and events.
Nex is located in San Jose, California, USA and Hong Kong. Learn more about us at https://www.nexplayground.com/about.
