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.
- 71M+ registered members
- 21B+ mod downloads
We’re currently focused on product modernisation, driving growth and building infrastructure for the next 10 years of community-powered modding.
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 Type Script, React, and Node. js skills, you'll pick up the desktop-specific patterns quickly.
Requirements
- Own significant areas of the application - designing, building, and maintaining robust, scalable features across the frontend, backend, and integration layers of a desktop app used by tens of millions of users on varying hardware and OS configurations.
- Work across the full delivery lifecycle, from discovery and prototyping through technical planning and multi-sprint delivery of new game support and major workflow changes.
- Tackle hard technical problems: performance regressions, race conditions, complex state bugs.
- Evolve local data, configuration, and user profiles safely across releases, without data loss or corruption.
- Collaborate with other engineering teams on end-to-end features, and review contributions from both community and internal developers.
- Help steward the public extension API, balancing third-party developer freedom with a sound trust/permission model.
- Improve observability and operational standards; diagnose field issues using crash reports, telemetry, and logs.
- Drive best practices in performance, state management, security, accessibility, and internationalisation.
- Write clean, well-tested code and uphold high standards across CI/CD, packaging, and documentation.
- Help mentor other engineers and share standards across pods.
