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.

The role

We are building our L3 Support Line from scratch to serve as the datacenter center of expertise for servers, firmware (BIOS/BMC), and deep Linux diagnostics across Europe and the US.

This is a senior technical role focused on deep investigations, cross‑site pattern detection, and driving permanent fixes with R&D and ODM vendors. You will turn complex incidents into scalable solutions and elevate L1/L2 capabilities through strong technical enablement.

Béthune, France.

Your Responsibilities Will Include

Deep Technical Investigation (Primary Focus)

• Lead root cause analysis beyond L2 depth (GPU failures, firmware issues, Linux‑level faults, HW/SW interactions).
• Detect recurring patterns across sites and convert findings into durable fixes.
• Own technical workstreams during high‑severity incidents.

Vendor & R&D Collaboration

• Build evidence packs and drive escalations with ODM and R&D.
• Push for firmware, component, and platform‑level resolutions.
• Track outcomes and ensure knowledge flows back to operations.

Firmware & Platform Readiness (BIOS/BMC)

• Support validation and rollout of firmware updates (risk assessment, staging, rollback planning).
• Help operationalize platform standards across datacenters.

Knowledge & Enablement

• Create scalable runbooks, troubleshooting guides, and error catalogs.
• Turn investigations into playbooks that elevate L1/L2 teams.

Hands‑on Support (As Needed)

• Travel to datacenters for complex troubleshooting, new platform readiness, or incident containment.

We Expect You To Have

• Strong hands‑on experience with datacenter servers and deep Linux troubleshooting.
• Ability to diagnose across hardware, BIOS/BMC firmware, and Linux (logs, drivers, storage basics, performance triage).
• Structured incident response experience and clear communication under pressure.
• Experience driving evidence‑based escalations with vendors/R&D.
• Fluent English (written and spoken).

It Will Be An Added Bonus If You Have

• Strong familiarity with GPU server platforms and tooling (for example: nvidia‑smi, dcgmi, Linux logs correlation).
• Experience with ipmitool and Redfish workflows, firmware lifecycle, and staged rollouts.
• Scripting skills (bash and basic Python) for log collection, triage automation, and simple reliability analysis.
• Exposure to OCP‑based platforms and ODM manufacturing ecosystems.
• Experience supporting enterprise bare metal customers under contractual SLAs.
