Benefits

Nexus Mods is a website with a user base of over 60 million users and serving over 6 billion pageviews a year. Working on such a popular site can be demanding, but rewarding, with a user base that is very loyal and very vocal!

Due to the popularity of the site we try to work with the latest technology. If you are interested or excited by the latest advances in software and technology then you'll love working for us.

We are based in the heart of Exeter, less than 10 minutes walk away from Exeter Central station and 5 minutes from the main high street with all its shops, restaurants and the beautiful cathedral grounds.
