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 looking for a Technical Project Manager to own server and rack-level production projects for large-scale AI datacenter infrastructure. This role connects capacity planning, hardware architecture, procurement, ODM manufacturing, logistics, and datacenter deployment teams. You will make sure the right GPU, compute, and storage infrastructure is ordered, produced, delivered, and deployed on time. The role requires strong server hardware knowledge, structured project management, vendor coordination, and high ownership across adjacent work-streams.

Your Responsibilities Will Include

• Align server and rack requirements with capacity planning and datacenter architecture teams. Translate project demand into hardware inputs for procurement and ODM production.
• Decompose required key parts, including CPUs, memory, drives, NICs, and other critical components. Validate that procured components are compatible with required server configurations.
• Place and track production orders with ODM partners. Coordinate BOM readiness, component availability, and production timelines.
• Manage a portfolio of production projects across multiple projects and vendors. Track risks, blockers, dependencies, and recovery plans.
• Escalate issues early, including BOM problems, shortages, quality risks, factory delays, payment delays, export license issues, and deployment schedule changes. Visit factories when needed to support quality control, production execution, and timeline recovery.
• Track adjacent processes such as POs, invoices, export licenses, payments, logistics bookings, and required documentation.
• Provide regular production status, risk updates, and decision points to stakeholders.
• Drive issue resolution across planning, procurement, production, testing, logistics, delivery, and deployment.
• Continous improvements after each production cycle. Improve ODM requirements, supplier expectations, internal processes, reporting, and tooling. Gather deployment and operations feedback and convert it into future production improvements.

We Expect You To Have

• Experience managing complex hardware production, manufacturing, supply chain, infrastructure, or datacenter delivery projects.
• Strong understanding of modern server architectures, especially high-performance GPU-based environments.
• Knowledge of server components and ability to configure hardware for different service needs.
