Nexedi is a 20-year-old open-source software publisher with a sprawling portfolio spanning ERP systems, distributed databases, decentralized cloud infrastructure, and offline-first web applications. The hiring profile—predominantly interns alongside minimal mid-level and leadership hiring—suggests either a deeply specialized talent pipeline or a sustainability constraint; coupled with active projects around censorship circumvention, resilience in geopolitical crisis, and zero-trust network architectures, the organization appears to prioritize technical depth and anti-fragility over rapid scaling.
Nexedi develops and deploys open-source business and infrastructure software, with particular strength in custom ERP implementations for mid-to-large enterprises and mission-critical environments. The company's codebase exceeds 10 million lines and spans multiple products: ERP5 (enterprise resource planning, CRM, e-commerce), Wendelin (distributed machine learning), SlapOS (decentralized hyperconvergent cloud), NEO (NoSQL database), and OfficeJS (offline web suite). Operations span France, Germany, China, and Japan. Core competency lies in rapid, flexible deployment of complex backoffice systems with high customization and compliance requirements.
Frontend: HTML5, WebRTC, WebAssembly, Babylon.js 3D engine, Service Workers and Web Workers. Backend: Node.js, Python, C++. Infrastructure: OpenShift, NixOS. Real-time systems: PREEMPT_RT kernel, PTP network timing. Now adopting OPC UA for industrial control integration.
Projects include OfficeJS (offline web applications), architecture to circumvent internet censorship, flight telemetry and simulation for strategy optimization, extending SlapOS for real-time capabilities, OPC UA industrial coupler deployment, and TSN network verification—reflecting a focus on resilience, decentralization, and geopolitical risk mitigation.
