Job summary

Nebius Group is hiring a Senior Sales Engineer to become a foundational technical partner for customers, shaping complex AI workloads from discovery to production feasibility validation. You will ensure technical rigor, economic viability, and scalable architecture decisions, working remotely from Europe if desired.

The role requires deep expertise in AI inference, GPU-backed infrastructure, and strong collaboration with Sales and Engineering to accelerate PoCs to production while managing

Qualifications

• Deep understanding of AI inference systems and GPU-backed infrastructure.
• Experience with LLM workloads and performance-sensitive environments.
• Experience with inference frameworks and libraries (e.g., vLLM, SGLang, TensorRT-LLM).
• Ability to reason about latency, throughput, cost, and architecture tradeoffs.
• Strong customer presence with engineering-first organizations.

Responsibilities

• Lead deep technical discovery with engineering teams and technical founders.
• Translate customer ambition into production-feasible architectures.
• Identify hidden technical risks early.
• Commercial acceleration by partnering with Sales on strategic deals.
• Influence deal strategy through architectural clarity.
• Drive PoC-to-production conversion with technical realism.
• Define measurable success criteria (latency, throughput, cost envelope).
• Pattern recognition and platform leverage to inform product.
• Drive structured Go/No-Go decisions.
• Ensure PoCs are clearly scoped and economically justified.

Job description

Описание:

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. We are building a high-performance AI inference platform for developer-native teams running latency- and cost-sensitive workloads at scale. In AI infrastructure, PoC success does not guarantee production success. This role ensures that what we commit to is scalable, efficient, and aligned with platform strategy. We are looking for a Senior Sales Engineer to become a foundational technical partner to our customers and a force multiplier for Sales and Engineering. You will shape complex AI workloads from first discovery through production feasibility validation, ensuring technical rigor, economic viability, and scalable architecture decisions.
