About Nexus Mods
Established in 2001, Nexus Mods is the largest video game modding platform on the internet - a household name in the PC gaming ecosystem.
Our Role:
We're looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer to join our Engineering team, working on Vortex, our flagship desktop mod manager. You'll design and scale consumer-facing systems used by millions of gamers powering downloads, deployments, and conflict resolution, and tackling compatibility challenges across our supported games.
Vortex is built as an Electron desktop application, currently Windows-first with Linux support on the roadmap, so portability is a priority. You don't need prior Electron experience, if you're a strong full-stack engineer with deep TypeScript, React, and Node.js skills, you'll pick up the desktop-specific patterns quickly.
