Job Description

About Nothing

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.

Founded in London in 2020, we’ve grown from idea to global challenger in just a few years. Backed by GV (Google Ventures), EQT Ventures, and C Ventures, and investors like Tony Fadell (iPod), Casey Neistat, and Kevin Lin (Twitch), we’re now sold in 40+ markets with millions of users worldwide.

About the Team

You will be joining the Industrial Design team, a cross-functional product group of Industrial Designers, Experience Designers, and Creative Technologists. This role isn't just about building websites; it's about prototyping the future of how our hardware and software connect and function as one. We are focused on creating new interfaces and experiences that bridge the gap between the physical and digital worlds, ensuring the "Nothing experience" feels like one cohesive, "transparent" unit.

What You'll Do

• Prototype the future of hardware and software integration, building functional models that define how our ecosystem behaves.
• Architect scalable backend services that power our global product launches, ensuring 100% uptime when the world is watching.
• Create and maintain the APIs that allow our hardware and software to talk to each other, integrating web hardware APIs (BLE, Haptics, Sensors).
• Partner with the Design team to build web interfaces and new experiences that break the mould—we don't do "generic" templates.
• Take ownership of our deployment infrastructure, ensuring we can ship code to production multiple times a day with zero friction.
• Drive technical excellence across the codebase, making pragmatic decisions that balance long-term stability with the need to move fast.
• Build and iterate on exploratory prototypes, moving quickly from a concept to a functional, AI-powered experience.

What We're Looking For

• A proven track record of shipping full-stack applications at scale, ideally using React, Next.js, and Node.js.
• Strong front-end experience implementing complex UI and high-fidelity interactions.
• Backend development expertise (e.g., Python, Node, services, and APIs) with a focus on systems thinking, data flow, and latency.
• AI & LLM Proficiency: Experience with LLM integration, creative use cases for AI-powered prototyping, and agent systems/orchestration (experience with MCP is a plus).
• A pragmatic approach to problem-solving; you choose the right tool for the job, not just the one that’s currently trending.
• Cloud Infrastructure: Experience with AWS, GCP, Serverless, or Vercel, and a solid understanding of how to build secure, distributed systems.
• Hardware/Mobile Fluency: Experience with Web hardware APIs (BLE, Haptics, Sensors) and React Native or web apps on mobile is a significant plus.
• An eye for design and detail; you understand that a 100ms delay in a button click is 100ms too long.
• The ability to work independently in a high-speed environment where we value direct communication and clear results.

How We Work

• We build better tech by moving fast. That speed demands direct collaboration and shared creative energy. We believe the best work happens when we're together.
• Location: London (Kings Cross & Farringdon offices).
• Working Pattern: This is a full-time, in-office role (5 days a week). We move fast, and that means being physically present. We design flexibility around personal needs, but we focus on the magic that sparks when we’re all in the same room.
• Commute: We ask that you live within a 60-minute commute of your home office location.
• Would you like me to generate a punchy LinkedIn summary or a list of interview questions tailored to these new AI and hardware prototyping requirements?
