ABOUT NEXUS
You don't have an AI story if you don't have your data story. That's where NexusOne comes in.
We're the converged data platform for the AI era — composable by design, built on an open-source foundation, and AI-native from the ground up. One identity, one governance envelope, one operational layer across every mainframe, data lake, warehouse, and streaming system in the business. For the first time, enterprises can bring their existing stack along instead of rebuilding it — and still give AI agents full context across the estate.
What we stand for is simple: sovereign data, interoperable systems, decoupled intelligence — delivered the way modern software should be. No rip-and-replace. No multi-year transformation. Our CEO Anu Jain puts it well: we turn the "ball of yarn" of data integrations into a unified engine — less like assembling car parts, more like buying the car ready to drive. 85+ open-source tools pre-integrated. AI-native automations that deploy and self-heal the stack without human toil. Forward-deployed engineers who build shoulder-to-shoulder with customer teams — hands on keyboards, not just on decks.
It's working, and fast. We're tripling revenue year over year, backed by Insight Partners, and running in production in environments most vendors won't touch. Our platform processes credit risk data for 90%+ of US small businesses — 40M+ — every month. Intent signals for 300M+ subscribers monthly for Africa's largest telco. The data and AI layer for a Top 3 US bank.
We're 100+ people across the US and India, headquartered in Atlanta. We think big, move fast, and don't mistake activity for progress. We hire people who'd rather ship the rocket than brief someone on it.

This is not a typical solutions architect seat. You won't be running pre-sales demos or responding to RFPs. You'll be embedded full-time inside one of the largest financial institutions in the United States — living in their architecture review boards, holding design authority over how NX1 is deployed and integrated across their data infrastructure, and doing the technical farming that drives expansion: identifying the next workload class the customer's architecture is ready for before they know it themselves.
The role is intentionally split: 65% solution architecture and use-case discovery, 35% engagement management. The 65% is the center of gravity. Credibility at this customer is earned through technical depth, not relationship tenure. You'll be the daily technical presence at every architecture conversation, hold design authority over NX1 deployment patterns across the account, and own the integration design across the customer's data and security infrastructure.
The 35% exists to prevent the role from drifting into pure delivery work. It covers internal coordination across NX1 functions, executive relationship maintenance at the customer, escalation leadership, and — critically — the clean handoff of expansion theses to the NX1 account executive on each account you cover. Expansion in these accounts originates with you; the AE closes it. The handoff has to be clean.
This is the inaugural deployment of this role at Nexus Cognitive. You'll be shaping what "Principal SA" means here, not inheriting a playbook someone else built.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Architecture & Technical Farming (65%)
- Hold design authority over NX1 deployment patterns at the customer — attend and actively contribute to architecture review boards, security reviews, and data governance forums
- Design and defend the integration architecture across the customer's data stack: identity federation, CDC patterns, governance metadata, data lineage, network segmentation, encryption
- Identify the next workloads NX1 is positioned to support before the customer has fully articulated them — and qualify those opportunities with s
