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.
The Role
Nebius is hiring a Senior Software Engineer to design, build, and own backend systems that power metrics, monitor large-scale infrastructure, and develop a comprehensive infrastructure maintenance platform. This role requires strong production experience, sound system design judgment, and the ability to operate and improve critical services.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Design and build services and agents that provide deep visibility into large-scale server fleets and data center engineering systems
- Evolve metrics, aggregation, and alerting pipelines, with a focus on signal quality and reliability
- Design and operate maintenance and remediation systems that enable safe, predictable fleet-wide changes and keep infrastructure healthy
- Investigate production incidents hands-on, including on-host Linux debugging, and drive root-cause fixes
- 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.
