About The Position

Build the software that powers enterprise AI implementation. Nth AI is building Nexus, an AI-native implementation platform that creates the trusted data, semantic models, and governed business context enterprise AI needs to operate. You will be directly responsible for building Nexus itself: designing, coding, testing, and shipping the software that automates enterprise data integration, transformation, modeling, and validation. You’ll also work directly with enterprise customers to understand their systems and business requirements, deploy what you build, and turn real implementation challenges into reusable product capabilities.

Requirements

• Production software engineering ability. You have personally shipped and maintained backend software, APIs, services, or reusable data infrastructure. You can take a capability from design through code review, testing, deployment, and operation.
• Deep enterprise data engineering experience. Strong Python, SQL, Spark/PySpark, data modeling, orchestration, incremental processing, schema evolution, and reconciliation.
• Fluency in the Microsoft data and AI ecosystem. Hands-on experience with Microsoft Fabric and Azure AI Foundry, including relevant lakehouse, pipeline, semantic-model, model-integration, or agent workflows.
• Enterprise customer experience. You can work directly with customer engineering teams and business stakeholders, navigate complex systems and access requirements, and translate ambiguous needs into working software.
• Strong engineering judgment. You use AI coding tools effectively and can independently verify the architecture, code, and data logic they produce.

Nice To Haves

• Experience integrating legacy ERP systems such as SAP ECC, Oracle E-Business Suite, JD Edwards, PeopleSoft, or Dynamics AX, as well as modern platforms such as SAP S/4HANA and Dynamics 365.
• Experience with finance, procurement, inventory, manufacturing, and supply-chain data, including custom schemas, master-data inconsistencies, and reconciliation to business reports.

Responsibilities

• Build Core Nexus software: Backend services, APIs, integrations, and orchestration workflows that power the product’s end-to-end implementation experience.
• Develop automated data engineering: Software that profiles source systems, reconciles schemas, generates transformation notebooks and pipelines, and builds validated lakehouse assets.
• Create semantic and business context capabilities: Workflows for defining relationships, dimensional models, KPIs, and governed semantic models.
• Build AI-powered implementation workflows: Partner with our AI engineers to connect agents to data engineering tools, evaluate generated assets, and make execution reliable and inspectable.
• Develop enterprise-ready deployments: Authentication, permissions, configuration, monitoring, failure recovery, and repeatable deployment inside customer environments.
• Create reusable enterprise integrations: Translate customer requirements and complex source-system behavior into capabilities that work across deployments.
