About Nebius:

Nebius is leading a new era in cloud infrastructure for the global AI economy. We are building a full-stack AI cloud platform that supports developers and enterprises from data and model training through to production deployment, without the cost and complexity of building large in-house AI/ML infrastructure.

Built by engineers, for engineers. From large-scale GPU orchestration to inference optimization, we own the hard problems across compute, storage, networking and applied AI.

Listed on Nasdaq (NBIS) and headquartered in Amsterdam, we have a global footprint with R&D hubs across Europe, the UK, North America and Israel. Our team of 1,500+ includes hundreds of engineers with deep expertise across hardware, software and AI R&D.

  • Collaborate closely with hardware, networking, and data center operations teams to improve reliability

What we expect you to have:

  • 5+ years of professional software engineering experience
  • Strong production experience with Python and Go, or the ability to ramp up quickly
  • Solid Linux fundamentals and comfort debugging live systems
  • Ability to write reliable, maintainable code and dig into complex, ambiguous problems
  • Experience building and operating production systems at scale

It will be an added bonus if you have:

  • Ubuntu experience, including internal tooling and packaging workflows (e.g., building Debian packages)
  • CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) or equivalent networking experience

Key employee benefits: 

  • Health insurance: 100% company-paid medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees and families. 
  • 401(k) plan: up to 4% company match with immediate vesting.
