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\n\nWe're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help us build Nebius Serverless AI - our GPU-native platform for deploying inference endpoints, batch jobs, and AI workloads without managing infrastructure. Customers run production AI on it today; the mission now is to make it the fastest, cheapest, most reliable place to ship GPU workloads on the planet.\nThis is a senior, high-ownership position on a fast-evolving service. You'll set the technical bar: own the architecture of the parts you ship, drive the hard design decisions, and raise the standard of everything around you through code reviews, design reviews, and the way you operate. The work is end-to-end - from cold-start latency in the runtime to the API contract customers integrate against.\nYou'll work from our office in Amsterdam or London, hybrid.\nIn this position, your responsibility will be to:\nDesign and build core components of the Serverless platform - the control plane, scheduler, runtime, autoscaler, and the APIs customers integrate against.\nOwn the hardest engineering problems on the service: cold-start latency, GPU scheduling under contention, multi-tenant isolation, fair-share quotas, request routing at the edge.\nSet the technical direction for the areas you own - drive architecture decisions, write the design docs, and align the team behind the chosen approach.\nRaise the engineering bar across the team through code reviews, design reviews, and example - the kind of senior presence that compounds.\nRun the service like an SRE: define SLOs, build observability, lead incident response, and make sure every postmortem changes the platform, not just the runbook.\nWork directly with customers on architecture reviews, performance escalations, and the production problems that don't fit a ticket template.\nPartner closely with Product, GTM, and infrastructure teams to translate customer needs into a coherent technical roadmap.\nWe expect you to have:\n7+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a track record of shipping production distributed systems at scale.\nExcellent knowledge of Golang, or you are ready to quickly switch to it.\nDeep experience with Kubernetes and container orchestration - you've operated it in anger, not just deployed it.\nStrong distributed-systems instincts: consistency vs. availability trade-offs, queueing, backpressure, retries, idempotency, multi-tenancy.\nExperience designing and operating high-throughput, low-latency services - you know where the milliseconds go and how to get them back.\nA history of being the engineer others look to on hard problems - driving design discussions, unblocking teammates, and shipping the thing nobody else wanted to touch.\nAbility to write reliable code and dig into complex problems.\nTeamwork-oriented approach.\nIt would be an added bonus if you had:\nExperience building serverless or function-as-a-service platforms (Knative, AWS Lambda, GCP Cloud Run, Cloudflare Workers, Modal, Replicate, Together, Fireworks, Anyscale, or similar).\nGPU scheduling experience - Kubernetes device plugins, MIG, MPS, time-slicing, NVIDIA GPU Operator.\nML inference experience - vLLM, TensorRT-LLM, Triton Inference Server, SGLang, model loading and warm-pool strategies.\nCold-start optimization at the runtime, image, or snapshot level (FireCracker, gVisor, checkpoint/restore, image streaming).\nExperience writing Kubernetes operators (Go + controller-runtime / kubebuilder).\nContributions to relevant open-source projects in the serverless, scheduling, or inference ecosystems.\nWe conduct coding interviews as part of the process.\nBenefits & Perks:\nCompetitive compensation\nCareer growth and learning opportunities\nFlexibility and ownership\nCollaborative and innovative culture\nOpportunity to work on impactful AI projects\nInternational environment and talented teams\nWhat's it like to work at Nebius:\nFast moving - Bold thinking - Constant growth - Meaningful impact - Trust and real ownership - Opportunity to shape the future of AI \nEqual Opportunity Statement:\nNebius is an equal opportunity employer.
