CAREERS AT NEX

Build the future of infection intelligence

Build the future of infection intelligence

NEX is building software that helps hospitals detect infection risks earlier, investigate outbreaks faster, and prevent avoidable harm.

We work with clinical teams on complex, high-stakes problems where the work is difficult and the impact is real.

Life at NEX

Life at NEX

We’re a small, ambitious team building software and artificial intelligence for high-stakes clinical environments. We work hard, move quickly, and hold a high bar especially when hospitals are depending on us. We value ownership, clear thinking, and people who want to solve difficult problems together.

Have Fun with Great People!

Early company-building works best when people trust each other. We make space for team time.

Collaborate on Impactful Problems

We like being in the room: whiteboarding, reviewing product, preparing deployments, and solving problems quickly as a team.

Do Your Best Work

We give people ownership, trust, and hard problems worth solving to do work they’re proud of.

Why join now?

Why join now?

NEX is moving from early deployments to international scale. Our platform is being built for live hospital environments, and we are scaling up to monitor over 1 million hospital admissions for infection risk globally.

This is a rare stage to join: early enough to have real ownership, but far enough along that your work is already reaching hospitals.

Who thrives here?

Who thrives here?

NEX suits collaborative, ambitious people who want to work on challenging problems and are comfortable figuring things out.

You’ll thrive here if you:
  • You take ownership and can be trusted to follow things through.

  • You work well with uncertainty and limited supervision.

  • You move quickly and find solutions when things get difficult.

  • You’re willing to go the extra mile when a deadline matters or something goes wrong (which can and does mean working late sometimes).

  • You want to work in person with a small, ambitious team.

You may not enjoy it here if you:

You need close supervision, want to work remotely, and don't have high standards.

Talent is everywhere. We don’t hire based on background, school, gender, race, or whether your path has been traditional. We care about ability, attitude, curiosity, integrity, and alignment with the mission. Show us what you can do and how you’ll help us raise the bar.

Roles

We're not hiring right now but we’re always interested in speaking to exceptional people, especially across these areas.

Clinical Success

Work with hospital teams to turn NEX into part of everyday infection prevention practice. You’ll support implementation, training, adoption, and real-world evaluation.

Clinical Safety Associate

Help make sure NEX is safe, responsible, and trusted in clinical use. You’ll support clinical risk management, safety documentation, incident review, and post-market surveillance.

Quality Engineer

Build the systems that make NEX scalable, safe, and audit-ready. You’ll strengthen our quality management system, testing, release processes, documentation, CAPA, and regulatory readiness.

Machine Learning Engineer

Build predictive systems for complex hospital data. You’ll work on infection risk, patient movement, microbiology, transmission patterns, and models that can run reliably in real hospitals.

Account Executive

Help bring NEX to more hospitals and healthcare systems. You’ll build trust with clinical, operational, and executive buyers, and turn early interest into long-term partnerships.

Founder’s Associate

Work directly with the founders (PhD scientists) on the highest-priority problems in the company. You’ll help across customers, hiring, grants, investors, operations, partnerships, and whatever matters most that week.

Epidemiologist

Help translate infection data into meaningful insight and evidence. You’ll work on surveillance, outbreak analysis, evaluation design, and measuring NEX’s impact in real-world hospital settings.

Product Engineer

Build the product that infection prevention teams use every day. You’ll work across frontend, backend, data, and clinical workflows to turn messy hospital problems into simple, reliable software.

Clinical Scientist

Help connect clinical evidence, product development, and real-world hospital use. You’ll work across infection prevention, evaluation, clinical validation, safety, and research translation.
