Job description

This is a job description

Culture: Small, fast‑moving YC startup founded by ex‑McKinsey and ex‑startup engineers. Emphasis on lean operations and “democratizing AI for business teams.”
Work model: Hybrid – employees engage in a mix of remote and on‑site work (US offices).
Team size: ~4 employees (Built In) or 2–10 (LinkedIn) – high impact and ownership.
Role spotlight: Currently hiring a Forward Deployed Engineer (hybrid) – typical for YC startups where engineers work directly with enterprise customers.
Perks: Not detailed publicly, but early‑stage startup environment typical of YC companies.

One-liner: Nexus (NexusGPT) provides a no‑code enterprise platform that enables non‑technical teams to build, deploy, and manage production‑ready AI agents without engineering support.
Entity Type: Private (startup; Y Combinator Fall 2025 batch)
Headquarters: Brussels, Belgium (with US offices)
Founded: 2024
Founders: Assem Chammah (CEO) and Shady Al Shoha (CTO)

Primary industry: Enterprise AI infrastructure – no‑code AI agent development platform
Target customers: Large enterprises (200+ employees) with non‑technical business teams (sales, operations, HR, etc.)
Mission/purpose: Democratize AI for business teams by letting them build autonomous agents in days, not months, without relying on engineering.

Nexus Platform: No‑code SaaS that allows users to describe an agent in natural language, connect it to 4,000+ business tools and APIs, and deploy it across channels (web, WhatsApp, Slack, Teams, phone). Includes a visual workflow builder and the proprietary “Nexus Flow” for balancing AI intelligence with zero‑hallucination reliability.
Agent Marketplace: A library of pre‑built, ready‑to‑deploy AI agents for common business tasks.
Enterprise Security Suite: SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, and GDPR compliant – built for regulated environments.

Valuation: Not publicly available
Key Metric: Total funding not disclosed (YC‑backed; batch Fall 2025); notable customer results – a single sales agent built by Orange Belgium generated $4M+ monthly revenue with a +50% conversion rate and +10 NPS.
Notable Investors/Partners: Y Combinator (primary partner Tom Blomfield); customer: Orange Belgium, Waterland Private Equity
Growth Signals: Serving 10+ large enterprises; 2–10 employees (as of 2025); actively hiring forward‑deployed engineers; ISO 42001 certified early stage.

No‑code, enterprise‑grade: Non‑technical teams can build agents without writing code, yet the platform meets the security and compliance needs of large organizations.
Vendor‑agnostic LLM support: Integrates GPT‑4, Mistral, Claude, and others – no lock‑in.
Nexus Flow: Proprietary technology that lets users decide when agents should freely reason vs. execute deterministic, zero‑hallucination workflows.
Deep integration ecosystem: 4,000+ pre‑built plugins plus custom API support.

Scale enterprise adoption by empowering business teams to own their AI automation.
Expand the agent marketplace and deepen integrations with common enterprise tools.
Continue investing in security certifications (already SOC 2, ISO 27001/42001, GDPR) to win regulated industries.
