About Nexus

You don't have an AI story if you don't have your data story. That's where Nexus One 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.

Check out this podcast of Anu talking about our solution here:

• Define and evolve the enterprise UX strategy aligned to Nexus One’s product direction and customer needs.
• Lead holistic experience design across surfaces (navigation, workflows, settings/admin, data-heavy screens, onboarding).
• Establish UX principles and quality bars; drive consistency across teams and features.

• Create an early-stage research program: interview plans, usability testing, feedback loops with Customer Success and Support.
• Synthesize insights into clear priorities and narratives that influence roadmap decisions.
• Build a research repository and ensure learnings are discoverable and actionable.

• Produce high-quality design artifacts (flows, wireframes, prototypes, UI specs) and work directly with engineers through build.
• Run working sessions with Product/Engineering to de-risk complex problems and converge on solutions.
• Ensure accessibility and inclusive design practices are baked into the process.

• Establish or mature a design system (components, tokens, patterns, usage guidance) with a pragmatic adoption plan.
• Partner with Engineering on front-end architecture implications (component libraries, theming, performance, maintainability).

• Hire, mentor, and develop designers and (as needed) researchers/content design.
• Define how UX engages with Product and Engineering: intake, prioritization, design reviews, handoffs, and acceptance criteria.
• Establish cross-functional metrics and a culture of learning and continuous improvement.

• Product leadership
  : clarify problems worth solving, define outcomes, and sequence roadmap.
• Engineering leadership
  : integrate design into delivery; ensure the UX strategy is feasible and scalable.
• Customer Success / Support
  : identify pain points, validate improvements, reduce friction and tickets.
• Securi…
