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.\nBuilt by engineers, for engineers. From large-scale GPU orchestration to inference optimization, we own the hard problems across compute, storage, networking and applied AI.\nListed 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.\nThe role\nWe are seeking a Critical Infrastructure Engineer to help ensure the availability, resilience, and operational readiness of the critical systems supporting Nebius data center IT infrastructure.\nThe primary objective of this role is uptime.\nYou will provide technical oversight across the electrical and mechanical infrastructure responsible for delivering reliable power and cooling to our GPU and IT environments. Rather than serving primarily as a maintenance technician, you will verify that critical infrastructure is operated safely, consistently, and in accordance with established SLAs, engineering standards, change-control procedures, and operational best practices.\nYou will also act as an important bridge between IT infrastructure teams and electrical/mechanical specialists. The ideal candidate understands how servers, networking equipment, racks, and GPU systems operate inside a data center while also having enough exposure to critical facilities systems to understand-and challenge when necessary-the infrastructure supporting them.\nThe position combines technical analysis, provider governance, change management, incident response, and hands-on familiarity with data center IT environments.\nYou will work onsite in our Minnesota data center location.\nYour responsibilities will include:\nCritical Infrastructure & Uptime\nHelp ensure the availability and operational readiness of the electrical and mechanical infrastructure supporting production data halls and high-density GPU environments.\nMonitor critical infrastructure performance against contractual SLAs, operational requirements, and established reliability standards.\nDevelop a strong understanding of the complete power and cooling path supporting IT equipment and identify conditions that could introduce operational risk.\nReview infrastructure capacity, redundancy, and operating conditions to ensure the environment can reliably support current and planned compute deployments.\nIdentify infrastructure risks and work with service providers and internal teams to drive corrective actions before they impact production.\nSupport infrastructure planning for data center expansions, capacity increases, and new GPU deployments.\nPower & Electrical Infrastructure\nProvide technical oversight of data center electrical infrastructure, including generator plants, automatic transfer switches (ATS), UPS systems, battery banks, switchgear, breakers, busbars, bus plugs, PDUs, and related power distribution equipment.\nUnderstand electrical distribution from facility-level infrastructure through rack-level delivery and IT equipment.\nParticipate in technical reviews involving power capacity, electrical distribution, equipment sizing, redundancy, and infrastructure design.\nWork with electrical engineers and infrastructure providers to evaluate proposed changes and ensure appropriate engineering validation is completed before production implementation.\nCooling & Mechanical Infrastructure\nUnderstand the cooling architecture supporting high-density GPU and IT environments, including water and glycol loops, rear-door heat exchangers (RDHx), evaporative systems, coolant distribution systems, facility water systems, dry coolers, and chillers.\nEvaluate how cooling infrastructure interacts with GPU systems and high-density racks to maintain required operating conditions.\nPartner with mechanical engineers and service providers to review system performance, capacity constraints, and proposed infrastructure changes.\nIdentify potential thermal or cooling risks that could affect compute availability or future capacity.\nProvider Governance & Change Control\nProvide technical oversight of third-party critical infrastructure and colocation service providers.\nEnsure provider activities comply with Nebius policies, approved procedures, contractual SLAs, and operational requirements.\nReview and approve change requests involving critical infrastructure supporting production environments.\nChallenge incomplete or high-risk work plans and ensure appropriate testing, rollback procedures, risk analysis, and stakeholder communication are in place before work begins.\nMaintain strong governance around maintenance and infrastructure changes that could affect production availability.\nHold service providers accountable for corrective actions, operational performance, and agreed service levels.\nIncident Response & Operational Risk\nParticipate in critical infrastructure incidents and coordinate technical response with providers, Data Center IT, networking, and engineering teams.\nSupport root-cause analysis following power, cooling, or infrastructure-related incidents.\nReview incident findings and ensure corrective and preventive actions are documented, assigned, and completed.\nHelp develop and continuously improve emergency response procedures, escalation paths, change-control standards, and operational documentation.\nIdentify recurring infrastructure risks and drive improvements that increase reliability and reduce the likelihood of customer impact.\nIT & Critical Infrastructure Integration\nWork closely with Data Center IT teams to understand how critical infrastructure conditions affect servers, networking equipment, GPU clusters, and other production systems.\nApply practical knowledge of data center IT operations, including racks, servers, fiber, cabling, network equipment, and hardware deployment.\nSupport cross-functional troubleshooting where the root cause may span IT equipment and facility infrastructure.\nHelp create stronger operational alignment between IT infrastructure and electrical/mechanical teams.\nReporting & Stakeholder Communication\nTranslate complex infrastructure conditions, incidents, risks, and provider performance into clear information for technical and business leadership.\nDevelop reports, dashboards, presentations, and operational analyses related to uptime, infrastructure performance, capacity, incidents, and service-provider performance.\nParticipate in technical and leadership meetings as a subject-matter resource for data center critical infrastructure.\nUse operational data to identify trends, communicate risk, and drive measurable improvements in reliability and provider performance.\nWe expect you to have:\nExperience working in data center, cloud infrastructure, colocation, critical facilities, or other mission-critical environments.\nPractical understanding of IT infrastructure, including servers, racks, networking equipment, structured cabling, and fiber.\nWorking knowledge of data center electrical infrastructure such as UPS systems, generators, switchgear,
