You don't have an AI story if you don't have your data story. That's where NexusOne comes in.
We're the converged data platform for the AI era — composable by design, built on an open-source foundation, and AI-native from the ground up. One identity, one governance envelope, one operational layer across every mainframe, data lake, warehouse, and streaming system in the business. For the first time, enterprises can bring their existing stack along instead of rebuilding it — and still give AI agents full context across the estate.
What we stand for is simple: sovereign data, interoperable systems, decoupled intelligence — delivered the way modern software should be. No rip-and-replace. No multi-year transformation. Our CEO Anu Jain puts it well: we turn the "ball of yarn" of data integrations into a unified engine — less like assembling car parts, more like buying the car ready to drive. 85+ open-source tools pre-integrated. AI-native automations that deploy and self-heal the stack without human toil. Forward-deployed engineers who build shoulder-to-shoulder with customer teams — hands on keyboards, not just on decks.
It's working, and fast. We're tripling revenue year over year, backed by Insight Partners, and running in production in environments most vendors won't touch. Our platform processes credit risk data for 90%+ of US small businesses — 40M+ — every month. Intent signals for 300M+ subscribers monthly for Africa's largest telco. The data and AI layer for a Top 3 US bank.
We're 100+ people across the US and India, headquartered in Atlanta. We think big, move fast, and don't mistake activity for progress. We hire people who'd rather ship the rocket than brief someone on it.

We're always open to connecting with strong Staff-level engineers, even when we don't have an active opening. If you're the kind of engineer who other engineers go to when things get hard — and you're simply keeping an eye out for what's next — we'd like to know you exist.
What this role tends to look like:
Setting technical direction across a domain or set of teams, not just a single codebase
Diving into the hardest, most ambiguous problems and driving them to a clean solution
Raising the bar on engineering practices — architecture, code quality, testing, operational rigor
Mentoring senior engineers and helping them grow into the next stage of their careers
Partnering closely with product and engineering leadership to shape roadmaps and technical strategy
Writing code when it matters, and knowing when not to
What we look for:
A track record of technical leadership at scale, ideally with Staff/Principal-level experience (or Senior engineers clearly operating at that level)
Strong systems thinking — you can zoom out to architecture and zoom into a gnarly bug with equal ease
Excellent communication; you can influence without relying on authority
A bias toward pragmatic solutions over perfect ones
Genuine curiosity and a track record of continuous learning
At Nexus, we value people who want to grow — and support each other while doing so.
You can expect:
A collaborative team culture built on curiosity and respect
Challenging work where your contributions clearly matter
A leadership team that invests in learning and development
The opportunity to work at the intersection of cloud, data, and AI innovation
If this role sounds like a great fit — or even close to one — we’d love to hear from you. We know that no candidate checks every single box, and we’re excited to meet people who bring curiosity, talent, and a desire to build meaningful work together.
