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 encourage you to explore Have Fun and Is Motion Gaming Back?, as they offer a deeper look into our culture, values, and explain how our approach to motion gaming differs from previous generations.

To protect yourself from recruitment scams, please note that Nex communicates through official company emails ending in @nex.inc. If you receive a suspicious email or message, please do not respond and report it immediately to us.

Nex Playground is redefining how families play — bringing motion-based, camera-powered gaming into the living room. A key part of our go-to-market motion is the in-store retail demo experience, where customers at retailers like Target, Costco, and Walmart get hands-on with Nex Playground games before they buy.

We are looking for a Software Engineer (Retail Demo) to innovate and iterate on the overall end-to-end retail demo experience. It involves a dedicated motion-base activation / launcher, showing our users what our technologies can do and how fun it is.

You will be working with a focus team to maintain the software involved. We will also be doing regular updates to showcase our latest games and events.
