Software Engineer, Framework Engineering

The Role

As a Software Engineer at Nex, you will contribute to building the technical foundations that power our platform's most demanding capabilities. In the Framework Engineering track, you will own the design and development of our cross-platform software framework for detection, sensing, haptics, and ML inference. You will build the real-time systems, hardware abstraction layers, and developer APIs that enable multimodal interaction on Nex Playground.

The 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.

The Mindset

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.

What You’ll Do

• Design and develop a robust, performant, cross-platform framework for sensing, detection, haptics, and ML inference
• Build efficient runtime execution systems and hardware abstraction layers
• Develop developer APIs that make complex sensing and inference accessible
• Optimize for real-time performance on multimodal data streams
• Work on camera, microphone, and haptics integration
• Implement code that runs reliably across different platforms and hardware configurations
• Improve framework stability, performance, and developer experience
• Write clean, well-tested code that maintains high engineering standards
• Participate in code reviews and help raise the engineering bar across the team
• Contribute to shared tools, infrastructure, and cross-role projects (20% Time)
