About Nexus
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 looking for an Engineering Manager to lead and grow a team of software engineers while helping deliver high-quality, reliable products. You'll balance people leadership with technical judgment—coaching engineers, driving execution, and partnering with product and other engineering leaders to plan and deliver roadmaps. This role is a strong fit for someone who enjoys developing people as much as shipping software.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
• Manage, coach, and develop a team of software engineers, including regular 1:1s, performance feedback, and career growth planning
• Partner with product management to plan, prioritize, and deliver team roadmaps on schedule
• Guide technical decision-making within the team, ensuring sound architecture, code quality, and engineering best practices
• Foster a healthy team culture built on collaboration, accountability, and continuous improvement
• Own team hiring, onboarding, and staffing plans in partnership with recruiting
• Identify and remove blockers, manage risk, and communicate status clearly to stakeholders and leadership
• Participate in incident response and post-incident reviews for issues affecting the team's systems
• Contribute to broader engineering organization initiatives, such as process improvements and cross-team standards
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
• 10+ years of professional software engineering experience, including 3+ years in a formal people-management role
• Demonstrated experience leading a team through the full software development lifecycle
• Strong technical background sufficient to guide architecture and code-quality decisions
• Experience managing performance, providing feedback, and supporting career development for direct reports
• Excellent communication and stakeholder-management skills across engineering, product, and business functions
• Experience balancing competing priorities and delivering against roadmaps in a fast-paced environment
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
• Experience managing distributed or remote engineering teams
• Prior experience scaling a team through significant growth or organizational change
• Background in the specific technical domain of the team you'd be managing (e.g., data, platform, product engineering)
• Experience partnering with recruiting on hiring plans and interview process design
• Prior experience as an engineer before transitioning into management
