About Us

At Nextens, we work on software that makes an impact. Our solutions handle large amounts of data and assist businesses and professionals with complex tax-related issues. This means our software must be reliable, accurate, and well-thought-out.

We work with proven technologies such as .NET Core, Azure, and Angular, focusing on structural improvements and sustainable solutions. In our team, you’ll face challenging technical problems where you can fully apply your analytical skills.

The systems you develop process millions of tax returns annually. This means your code contributes to fair, transparent, and efficient processes. You know that what you build really matters.

Nextens is part of LexisNexis Risk Solutions (LNRS) and operates as an independent unit within it. Our close-knit and enthusiastic team of around 60 colleagues works daily on developing the entire Nextens product line.

Your Role: Lead the Charge

As a Lead Software Engineer, you will guide a small team in designing, developing, and delivering high-quality software solutions to manage complex tax processes. You will take a hands-on approach, facilitating technical decisions and ensuring that solutions are scalable, reliable, and optimized for long-term performance. Your tasks will include creating tax calculation algorithms, integrating tax processing systems, and ensuring compliance with tax regulations. Your team will depend on you for technical leadership in both code quality and design decisions.

You have an eye for detail and take pride in software that not only works but can be trusted with certainty. This means thinking smart, testing thoroughly, and collaborating with colleagues to develop the best solutions. Here, you’ll get the chance to dive into complex topics and create software that’s not only functional but also reliable and future-proof.
