Job description

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

This role is for Nebius AI R&D, a team focused on applied research and the development of AI-heavy products. Examples of applied research that we have recently published include: investigating how test-time guided search can be used to build more powerful agents; dramatically scaling task data collection to power reinforcement learning for SWE agents; maximizing efficiency of LLM training on agentic trajectories. One example of an AI product that we are deeply involved in is Nebius Token Factory — an inference and fine-tuning platform for AI models. This role will require expertise in distributed systems to build large-scale LLM training platform.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Designing and developing LLM training platform.
• Maintaining our ML infrastructure, ensuring optimal performance, scalability and reliability.
• Improving job scheduling strategies to minimize resource fragmentation.

• Strong software engineering skills (we mostly use Python and Go).
• Proficiency in contemporary software engineering approaches, including CI/CD, version control and unit testing.
• Experience with developing web services.
• A commitment to maintaining extreme rigor in all job-related activities.

Nice to have:

• Previous experience working with language models or other similar NLP technologies.
• A track record of building and delivering products (not necessarily ML-related) in a dynamic startup-like environment.
• Strong engineering skills, including experience in developing large distributed systems or high-load web services.
• Open-source projects that showcase your engineering prowess.

Benefits & Perks:

• Competitive compensation
• Career growth and learning opportunities
• Flexibility and ownership
• Collaborative and innovative culture
• Opportunity to work on impactful AI projects
• International environment and talented teams
