As a Software Engineer at Nex, you will contribute to building the technical foundations that power our platform's most demanding capabilities. In the ML Engineering track, you will build the infrastructure that accelerates machine learning research: training pipelines, data workflows, model integration systems, and the tools that enable rapid experimentation. Your work ensures researchers can iterate reliably and move experiments toward production readiness.
The role offers the opportunity to work on deeply technical problems in machine learning systems, data infrastructure, sensing technologies, and real-time inference. You will be part of a small, highly technical team that values both specialization and collaboration, with clear ownership of core technology areas.
You are drawn to solving complex technical challenges at the intersection of research and production engineering. You care deeply about building systems that are reliable, performant, and maintainable. You thrive in environments where technical depth matters, where your expertise in ML systems, distributed computing, or real-time software directly shapes what the platform can do.
