Engineer - back End Developer

Nothing exists to make tech feel exciting again.

We’re building a different kind of technology company, one that puts design, emotion, and human creativity at the heart of everything we do.

From the way our products look and feel to how we communicate and show up in culture, we believe technology should make you feel something.

Backed by GV (Google Ventures), EQT Ventures, and C Ventures, and investors like Tony Fadell (i Pod), Casey Neistat, and Kevin Lin (Twitch), we’re now sold in 40+ markets with millions of users worldwide.

The AI & Services team is where we stop improving existing things and start inventing what’s missing.

We are the studio within the machine, tasked with exploring the bleeding edge of human-computer interaction.

We don't just build websites; we build intelligence that feels alive.

We are working to make tech feel less like a tool and more like a companion.

Architect and build the underlying frameworks and patterns that power our AI service layer, ensuring our high-speed experiments scale seamlessly to a global user base.

Rapidly prototype and ship novel AI interfaces—from voice and chat to multi-modal interactions—that define the next generation of the Phone (3) and Nothing OS experience.

Translate experimental AI concepts into robust, production-grade applications using Node. js, Python, and Next. js.

Bridge the gap between web services and hardware, working with our OS teams to blur the lines between mobile, web, and embedded surfaces.

Optimise the feel of our services by obsessing over latency, real-time performance, and the micro-interactions that make a digital assistant feel responsive.

Own your deployment pipelines and cloud infrastructure choices, maintaining a high shipping velocity while ensuring 99.9% uptime for our global users.

js or Python, and you are comfortable navigating microservices and cloud-native infrastructure.

Deep Product Pragmatism: You have a bias toward shipping and understand that a working prototype in a user's hands is worth infinitely more than perfect code that never launches.

AI Fluency: You have hands-on experience or a deep curiosity for LLMs, vector databases, and RAG systems, understanding the unique constraints of building with non-deterministic models.

Design

Sensibility: You care deeply about how things look and feel, knowing that the quality of the animation and the speed of the response are just as important as the algorithm itself.

Cross-Platform Mindset: You think outside the browser and understand how web technologies can drive experiences on mobile and embedded systems.

We build better tech by moving fast.

That speed demands direct collaboration and shared creative energy.

This is a full-time, in-office role (5 days a week).

We design flexibility around personal needs, but we focus on the magic that sparks when we’re all in the same room.

We ask that you live within a 60-minute commute of your home office location.
