Software Engineering, Staff

About the role

We are looking for a Staff Software Engineer who enjoys solving challenging backend and distributed systems problems, working with high-throughput streaming services, and building reliable software that operates at enterprise scale. You will work closely with experienced engineers, Product Management, QA, and other platform teams to design and deliver capabilities that directly impact how millions of surveys and responses are processed across the platform.

What you'll do

• Drive resolution on open, cross-cutting architectural questions — Nexus has several live ones at any given time (e.g., which store owns a given workload and why
• You're expected to drive these to a documented, defensible decision — not just have an opinion on them
• Own the integrity of the platform's core data invariants across teams — multi-tenant isolation via the composite entity key model
• When a new feature threatens one of these, you're the engineer who catches it before it ships
• Design the pipeline and schema evolution patterns other teams build against — e.g., how a dataset schema can evolve without migrations or downtime

What you need

• 8–14 yrs of experience
• Kafka
• Data modelling
• Incident response
• LLMs
• Spark
• Any graduate

Good to have

• Node.js
• Java
• TypeScript
