At Nuix, we hire the best people from around the world and empower them to do what they do best. We pride ourselves on our ongoing innovation, dedicated customer service and cutting-edge solutions that make a real difference to our customers and the world in which we live.

Join our team as a Principal Software Engineer (Java), focused on developing our AI/ML based data enrichment capability. The Principal Software Engineer at Nuix works closely with Engineering Managers, Engineers, Architects, and the Product team to deliver high-quality functionality that serve the company and its customers.


Enrich is part of Nuix Neo’s platform offered across SaaS and locally deployed variants. You will be responsible for ensuring that all software is fit for purpose, scalable, and aligns with best practices in software architecture, design, coding standards, automation, and security.


You’ll partner closely with cross-functional teams to define, design, and deliver applications, tools, and best practices. Your strong background in Java software development will enable you to drive both product and organizational impact.

  • Cross-Team Collaboration: Champion cross-team initiatives to ensure interoperability of technologies across Nuix.
  • Talent Development: Engage in continuous learning, provide training, perform code reviews, and mentor junior team members to support organizational growth.

  • Degree, or equivalent, in a relevant field such as computer science/engineering, software engineering, machine learning, mathematics or related quantitative discipline.
