About Nexus

At Nexus, we help organizations turn complex data into clear, actionable insight — so the hard work behind artificial intelligence, analytics, and cloud infrastructure doesn’t slow innovation down… it accelerates it.

We’re a team of builders, problem-solvers, and collaborators who believe in moving fast, learning continuously, and doing great work together. Our role is to handle the heavy lifting of modern data platforms, governance, and cloud transformation so our clients can focus on making confident, strategic decisions that move their businesses forward.

We’re proud of the culture we’re building across the U.S. and India — one rooted in curiosity, ownership, collaboration, and care — and we’re excited to keep growing with people who want to do meaningful work alongside genuinely great teammates.

We are hiring an in-house IT leader to own corporate IT delivery as we scale. You will build a high-trust, high-velocity IT function supporting a fast-growing, engineering-heavy company with employees across the US and India. This role is both hands-on and strategic—you will run day-to-day IT operations, manage vendor performance, and partner closely with Security and Compliance to maintain strong controls without slowing the business.
