Engineering Manager

About Nexus

Nexus One is a converged data platform for the AI era, composable by design, built on an open‑source foundation, and AI‑native from the ground up. We offer one identity, one governance envelope, and one operational layer across every mainframe, data lake, warehouse, and streaming system in the business. Enterprises can bring their existing stack along instead of rebuilding it, and still give AI agents full context across the estate.

We stand for sovereign data, interoperable systems, and decoupled intelligence delivered the way modern software should be. Our CEO Anu Jain says we turn the “ball of yarn” of data integrations into a unified engine—less like assembling car parts, more like buying a car ready to drive. We pre‑integrate 85+ open‑source tools, deploy AI‑native automations that self‑heal the stack without human toil, and forward‑deploy engineers who build shoulder‑to‑shoulder with customer teams.

We are 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 over 90% of US small businesses—more than 40 million—every month, and provides intent signals for over 300 million subscribers per month for Africa’s largest telco, as well as the data and AI layer for a top‑3 US bank.

We have over 100 people across the US and India, headquartered in Atlanta, and we ship the rocket, not just brief on it.

We’re not actively hiring for this role today, but we’re always interested in meeting engineering leaders who might be a great fit down the road. If you’re happily employed but keeping half an eye on the market, this is a low‑pressure way to get on our radar.

• Lead and grow a team of engineers (typically 5–10), with real ownership over their growth and performance
• Balance people leadership with enough technical depth to stay credible in design discussions and code reviews
• Partner with product management to turn strategy into a clear, achievable roadmap
• Build a healthy team culture where people do their best work and want to stick around
• Hire, coach, and sometimes make hard calls when performance isn’t there
• Remove blockers so the team can focus on shipping

• Prior experience managing engineers, ideally 2+ years, with a track record of retaining and developing talent
• Strong engineering background; you don’t need to be hands‑on daily, but you should understand the work deeply
• Clear, empathetic communication and a coaching mindset
• Comfort with ambiguity and the judgment to prioritize ruthlessly
• Track record of shipping meaningful things through a team, not just individually

At Nexus, we value people who want to grow and support each other while doing so.

• Collaborative team culture built on curiosity and respect
• Challenging work where your contributions clearly matter
• Leadership team that invests in learning and development
• 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.
