Three founding-era roles · Hiring now

Build the financial operating system for India's small businesses.

Three roles, three different shapes of person — but all founding-era hires. You will work directly with the founder, on the original product, with full ownership of your craft. The room is hard. The work is real. The company is good.

Three founding-era roles.

Each role has its own application page, with screening questions deliberately written to filter for the kind of person we are looking for. We read every submission. The first round is a written response, not a recruiter call.

We are hiring three people who would rather build the thing than write the memo about the thing. The bar is high; the room is good.

— Founder
02 · How we hire

No recruiter funnels. Just the work.

Our hiring process is short, deliberate, and respectful of your time. Three steps. Two weeks. No ghosting.

Step 01

The written application

You answer 8–10 screening questions on the role page. We read every word. Most people stop here, which is fine — the questions are designed to filter.

Step 02

A founder conversation

Forty-five minutes with the founder. We will dig into one thing on your application; you can dig into anything you want about Nexo. No HR-style screen.

Step 03

A piece of real work

A small, paid take-home shaped to the role — a model for CoS, a system design for Engineering, a UX critique for Design. Time-boxed to under a working day.

03 · Why Nexo

A real shot at a hard problem.

Nexo is the financial operating system for India's small and medium businesses — corporate cards, expense management, and instant working capital, delivered through the banks SMBs already trust. Built bank-led, not direct-to-business; capital-light, compliance-first, India-first.

You will join in the founding era. Twelve corporates and several thousand active users live. Bank partnerships moving. The 2026 Fellowship cohort starts in August. The product surface is open; the architectural choices are still being made; the company is still small enough that what you do will visibly matter.

04 · Questions

Frequently asked.

Where is the role based? +

All three roles are hybrid. Three days a week in person, two remote, for the first six months — then negotiable. Travel to bank partners in Mumbai and Delhi is occasional but expected.

What is compensation like? +

Cash + equity, both meaningful. We pay at or above market for the right person. We will share the band on the second call once we have read your application.

When are you looking to fill these roles? +

As soon as we find the right person. Not before. We would rather wait two months for the right hire than fill the role with someone we will need to manage out.

Can I apply for more than one role? +

Please don't. Pick the one that fits you and apply for that one well.

I don't quite match the spec — should I still apply? +

If the gap is "I'm one year short of the experience band" or "I came up the non-IIT route but I have shipped real things" — yes, apply, and tell us in question 8 why we should read past the gap. If the gap is "I have never worked in fintech but I'm curious" — probably not for these three roles.
