#LI-Remote

Location: San Jose, California (Hybrid)
Annual salary: USD 160,000– USD 195,000
Type: Full-Time
Reports to: Chief of Staff

About the Role

At Nex, we believe that how we grow is just as important as how fast we grow. As People Director, you’ll be the architect behind that growth — helping us nurture great leaders, empower our teams, and scale our culture with intention.

You’ll partner closely with our U.S. leadership team (and later Canada and the U.K.), strengthening how we lead, develop, and connect. This role calls for someone who thrives at the intersection of strategy, empathy, and action — a person who sees the unseen in teams, brings out potential in others, and knows that culture isn’t a buzzword but a daily practice.

This isn’t a systems‑builder role — it’s a capability‑builder role. You’ll spend your days helping people make better decisions, shaping thoughtful leadership habits, and keeping the human heartbeat of Nex strong as we scale across time zones and stages of growth.

What You’ll Do

• Be a trusted strategic partner. You’ll work shoulder‑to‑shoulder with executives and managers to design teams, make brave talent decisions, and navigate the gray areas—performance conversations, restructures, or organizational pivots—with empathy, fairness, and confidence.
• Coach and develop leaders. You’ll create experiences that grow people—manager training, feedback frameworks, leadership workshops, and one‑on‑one coaching that helps our teams stretch, learn, and step into bigger versions of themselves.
• Design how growth happens. You’ll own Nex’s global approach to Learning & Development. From building clear career pathways to shaping how performance conversations feel, you’ll ensure every employee knows where they stand and where they can go next.
• Shape and protect our culture. As we scale, you’ll help weave connection, inclusion, and belonging into every corner of Nex. You’ll look out for the subtle shifts that hint at culture drift and help us realign—keeping Nex a place where people feel seen, supported, and proud to contribute.
• Build what’s next. You’ll start as a high‑impact individual contributor, hands‑on and strategic. As we grow, you’ll hire and lead a small team of exceptional People professionals focused on learning, leadership, and employee experience.

What You Won’t Own (But Will Partner On)

Clarity is kind to everyone, so here’s what lives elsewhere:

• People Ops Manager owns systems, data, benefits, compliance, documentation, and the mechanics of cyclical programs like reviews and surveys.
• You’ll partner with People Ops on performance philosophy, onboarding content, and employee experience initiatives—you bring the why and what, they ensure the how runs smoothly.
• Talent Acquisition owns recruiting and hiring operations.
• You’ll partner with TA on senior hiring, interview training for managers, and workforce planning to align great talent with business growth.

You Might Be a Great Fit If You

• Are the kind of business partner leaders seek out—not just for answers, but for perspective.
• Love helping people grow and have a track record of creating real, behavioral change through your coaching or programs.
• Are energized by ambiguity and can read the room—balancing empathy, honesty, and strategic clarity.
• Lead with both heart and backbone. You build trust quickly because you listen deeply and communicate with respect and candor.
• Understand how to build community and momentum across distributed, remote‑first teams.
• Align to Nex's values. You resonate with the culture we're building—read "The Language We Use," "The Promises We Made," and "The Differences We Leverage" to understand what we stand for.

Your Background

• 10–12 years of progressive experience in People/HR, with meaningful depth in HR Business Partnering and Learning & Development.
• Proven experience advising senior leaders and shaping leadership strategy, not just supporting execution.
• Comfort working in fast‑growing environments (from ~100 to 200+ employees) and seeing around corners as the company evolves.
• Global or multi‑country experience is a plus—you know how to scale people practices across cultures.

Bonus Points For

• Experience in an IPO or late‑stage growth environment.
• Background in tech, gaming, or consumer product organizations.
• Formal training or certification in coaching, facilitation, or organizational development.
• Lessons learned from a startup that didn’t go as planned—and what that taught you about resilience and leadership.

We're looking for a Video Producer who can own the full arc of a production: from the first creative brief to the final export, and everything in between. You're as comfortable building a shot list as you are managing a roster of freelancers, wrangling a budget, or jumping into Premiere when the edit needs a steady hand.

• Hold the creative line: every deliverable should feel intentional and on-brand

Delivery & Workflow

• Manage asset delivery across platforms — social, web, broadcast, internal
• Organize and maintain project files, footage, and production documentation
• Always be looking for ways to make the process smoother and the output better

What We're Looking For

• 4+ years in video production with real project management ownership — not just support
• Proven experience managing freelancers or external production partners
• Sharp budgeting and scheduling instincts with strong attention to detail
• Fluency in Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or equivalent
• End-to-end production knowledge: pre-production through post
• Someone who communicates clearly, moves fast, and doesn't drop balls

What You'll Do

Type: Full-Time
Reports to: Engineering Manager

The Role

Join a small, ambitious team where your work shapes how customers first discover and fall in love with our product. You'll be a frontend-first engineer with the full-stack depth to own our entire marketing site stack — from CMS and analytics to backend services and deployment. You're a proactive builder and problem solver who doesn't wait to be told what to fix; you spot opportunities, propose solutions, and ship them. No two days look the same: some days you're in the creative weeds with Design, obsessing over the details of a web experience; others you're the one unblocking a whole team by shipping something they didn't even know was possible.

What makes this role special is the ownership and the impact. You'll work directly with designers, marketers, and leadership — close enough to understand the why behind every build, and trusted enough to run with it. Your work won't sit in a backlog or get lost in a long release cycle; it'll be live, visible, and experienced by millions of visitors. You'll wear many hats, move fast, and continuously raise the bar on what we've already built. If you care about craft, thrive in a high-energy environment, and want your work to actually matter — let’s work together.

What You'll Do

• Own the full marketing site stack — from frontend and CMS to backend services, analytics, and deployment. You're not just a contributor here; this is yours to build and evolve.
• Lead development on customer-facing products and commerce tools, working closely with our Customer Experience and Product Design teams to deliver experiences that convert and delight.
• Partner with Design, Marketing, and Publishing to ship content experiences that drive customer acquisition — and run experiments that turn data into smarter decisions.
• Build and maintain integrations with third-party APIs and external services that keep our internal teams productive and our stack humming.
• Obsess over performance and user experience — from Core Web Vitals to CMS workflows — so that every interaction feels fast, polished, and intentional.
• Develop and maintain our Web Design System and component libraries, keeping the foundation consistent and scalable as the product and team grow.

About You

• You have strong, production-proven experience in **TypeScript, React, and Next.js (**or similar e.g. SvelteKit) — and you're proud of what you've built or worked on. We'd love to hear about it.
• You're comfortable across the full stack — from CMS platforms like Sanity or Contentful to APIs, backend services, and analytics integrations.
• You care about reliability and observability — you write tests, set up monitoring, and don't consider something truly shipped until you're confident it won't fall over in production.
• You own your work end-to-end — from scoping and building to deployment and smoke testing in production. Done means done.
• You've worked closely with non-engineering teams before — marketers, designers, stakeholders — and you know how to translate between creative vision and technical reality.
• You embrace AI-assisted tools like Claude Code — and you know when to trust them and when to push back.

Should Have

• You have a DIY mindset and genuine obsession with code quality, user experience, and craft — always asking how things could be better, and doing something about it.
• You thrive in a high-agency environment where you're trusted to move fast, make calls, and raise the bar on how the team works — not just what it ships.
• You've worked directly with stakeholders — leadership, marketing, design — and understand that your job isn't just to write code, but to unblock people and move the needle on outcomes that matter.

Bonus If You

• Have experience with international localization architecture (e.g. Lokalise or Crowdin) — big plus given where we're headed.
• Have implemented privacy compliance (e.g. GDPR) and managed cookie consent flows.
• Have maintained software libraries or written technical documentation others actually want to read.
• Love staying active and believe in what we're building
