Job Description

We are looking for a skilled Java Software Engineer with a strong desire to learn and innovate – you help challenge the status quo and you are very eager to develop new skills to help Nexthink stay on the leading edge of digital employee experience. The candidate should be heavily motivated by both the product and technology stack. This is a unique opportunity to design and build distributed systems at scale.

Inside the Nexthink Engineering department, the team you will be joining is named Maple – you will work on Engage, a revolutionary solution to break down the wall between IT and employees, and to better align the business to increase productivity and deliver higher end-user satisfaction with IT.
