## Job description

## 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.

We’re looking for an experienced, proactive HR Generalist to support day-to-day HR operations across India and provide operational support for U.S. HR needs. This role will partner closely with our global People Operations team to ensure smooth, compliant, and employee-friendly processes in a fast-moving, high-growth environment. The HR Generalist will also support recruiting and onboarding efforts across both regions.

## Key Responsibilities

- Maintain and regularly audit employee records in HR systems (e.g., Paylocity, Notion), ensuring accuracy and compliance.
- Manage time-off tracking, attendance, and leave administration in line with local laws and company policies.
- Support benefits administration and insurance coordination for the India team; assist with benefits-related questions for U.S. employees as needed.

Recruiting Support

Compliance & Documentation

- Support HR compliance with Indian employment laws and contribute to policy alignment across geographies.
- Prepare and maintain HR documentation such as offer letters, contracts, employee communications, and HR reports.
- Support payroll inputs, audits, and coordination with Finance for both India and U.S. payroll cycles.

Employee Experience & Culture

- Help plan and execute employee engagement initiatives and events (virtual and in-person).
- Support performance management cycles, including tracking, communications, and follow-ups.
- Maintain and improve content in the internal Notion-based People Ops hub to ensure policies and resources remain accurate, current, and easy to access.

Special Projects

- Assist with rollout and adoption of HR technology tools, surveys, and people initiatives (e.g., engagement assessments, learning/training programs).
- Support compensation benchmarking, total rewards updates, and internal people reporting as needed.

## Requirements

## Qualifications

- 3–5 years of experience in HR operations or HR generalist roles, ideally within a global organization.
- Experience supporting recruiting or working closely with Talent Acquisition teams.
- Strong knowledge of Indian employment laws and HR best practices; familiarity with U.S. HR practices is a plus.
- Experience with HR systems and tools (e.g., Ashby, Rippling, Notion, Excel, etc).
- Strong organizational skills and clear written/verbal communication.
- Proactive, detail-oriented, and comfortable working across time zones.
- Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related field.
- Plus: Experience supporting or driving IIT hiring (campus recruiting, coordination, or engagement) is an advantage.

## What We Offer

- A high-impact role working with a global team.
- Hybrid working flexibility in Pune.
- A collaborative, supportive culture focused on building great teams.
- Strong learning and growth opportunities in a fast-scaling organization.
