Nex is on a mission to help families rediscover the joy of movement. Created by parents for parents, Nex combines technology and play to deliver fun, social, and interactive experiences powered by natural body motion, encouraging kids and adults to move more, play more, and have fun together. Nex Playground, the company’s award-winning active play system, is purpose-built to get families moving year-round, with safety and privacy as core considerations in its intentional design. It is certified kidSAFE+ COPPA compliant and built to support healthy, active play for all ages and abilities.

Nex Playground features a growing library of 50+ experiences, including motion and dance games, fitness and educational experiences, and Nex Originals. Content includes collaborations with partners like Hasbro, Sesame Workshop, and NBCUniversal. Nex has been recognized by Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies, TIME’s Best Inventions, and Parents’ Best Entertainment System for Families, and has earned Red Dot, IDEA, and Core77 international design awards.

We're looking for a Software Engineer to help bring our product ideas to life within a fast-moving game cell focused on gamifying fitness and developing healthy habits for the whole family. You'll work closely with designers and engineers to prototype, iterate, and refine our product from concept to production.

This role is for someone who thrives in a rapid development environment, learns quickly, and brings in the right tools and technologies to build high-quality experiences. You should be excited about the challenge of making exercise engaging through game systems like progression, rewards, and live-ops while integrating with a motion-based platform.

You’ll be product and user minded, confident in sharing your perspective to shape the best possible experience for our growing community. If you love building polished, interactive experiences from the ground up, this role is for you.
