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’re looking for a Network Software Engineer (NetSWE) to build software that makes network operations safe, scalable, and boring - even as we launch new data centers and expand fast. This is not a “write scripts for configs” role: you’ll build the tooling and services that sit between the network core (switches/ports/VLANs, traffic processors) and the cloud platform on top, using open source where it fits and building the missing pieces where it doesn’t.\nYour responsibilities will include:\nBuild and maintain services and tooling that automate the network lifecycle: day-0 provisioning, day-N changes, drift detection, and operational verification\nMake network changes safe and transparent: CI/CD workflows, diff/review tooling, staged rollouts/rollbacks, audit trails, and guardrails\nDevelop observability systems that scale across many sites: telemetry pipelines, signal quality, and tooling that shortens incident investigations\nClose “last mile” gaps between the network and the platform: integrate source-of-truth data, expose APIs, and build reliable automation around it\nCollaborate closely with network engineers and SREs to turn real operational pain into product-quality tooling\nWe expect you to have:\n5+ years of professional software engineering experience (or equivalent practical background)\nStrong coding skills and ownership mindset: you can ship and operate reliable services\nProficiency in Go or readiness to switch; Python is also welcome (other languages can be useful for OSS debugging/fixes)\nYou don’t have to be Network expert but we expect you to have interest in infrastructure and/or network\nIt will be an added bonus if you have:\nBackground in networking (ex-network engineer, CCNP/education, DC networking exposure) or strong interest and proven ability to learn fast\nExperience building automation/infra tooling: CI/CD, IaC, testing/staging environments, or “network-as-code” style workflows\nLow-level networking / datapath experience: eBPF/XDP, DPDK, kernel networking, traffic processing systems\nExperience designing high-load services and observability platforms (metrics/logs/traces, alerting, regression detection)\nContributions to open source or experience extending/debugging OSS components in production environments\nWe expect Staff Engineers to : \nManage large-scale projects involving multiple stakeholders\nBreak down complex tasks and guide both their own work and that of more junior colleagues\nBe experts in specific technologies and write high-quality code that can serve as a reference\nAssess task priority and focus on high-impact work, avoiding low-value efforts\nHave strong architectural thinking and contribute to system design\nBe involved in hiring and actively contribute to interviews\nBe willing to share knowledge and mentor others\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 \nPay Transparency\nWe offer competitive compensation and benefits packages. Actual compensation will be determined based on job-related factors, including experience, skills, qualifications, the level at which the candidate is hired, and geographic location, consistent with applicable law.\nBase Compensation Range\n$179,500—$224,300 USD\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.
