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.

As our Software Engineer (Game Development), you will help shape the future of interactive physical gaming and realize Nex's very bold vision: "Create the best motion games for hundreds of millions of people to play on".

You will be a key contributor to our global content infrastructure, architecting the core systems, gameplay features, and presentation layers that allow our games to reach international audiences. You will work across the Unity stack—from implementing engaging gameplay mechanics to building scalable, performant, and "pixel-perfect" UI domains.

You will partner closely with Game Designers, UI Artists, and other engineers to deliver world-class experiences across our growing library of titles, such as GoKeeper, Tennis Smash: Racketville, HomeRun Heroes: StarStrikers, Bowling Strike, and Basketball Knockout.

  • Build and maintain shared component libraries and core frameworks, creating performant and responsive systems that work seamlessly across different games.
  • Develop custom tools and workflows within the Unity Editor to streamline the process for designers, content creators, and translators, removing friction from the development loop.
