Job description

Network SRE at Nebius - Remote Europe AI Cloud Role — Remote

Location Flexibility: Nebius explicitly mentions R&D hubs across Europe, the UK, North America, and Israel, and the job posting emphasizes "flexibility and ownership" as a perk. However, this is a Network SRE role with on-call incident response responsibilities, which typically implies timezone alignment with the team rather than fully async work. Expect some fixed on-call windows, likely aligned to European business hours given the Amsterdam HQ.

Timezone Considerations: CET/CEST (UTC+1/+2) is the likely core timezone. Digital nomads in Lisbon (WET/WEST) are well-positioned — only 1-2 hours off. Bangkok (UTC+7) would be challenging for real-time incident response. Medellín (UTC-5) is feasible for async work but on-call coverage would overlap with early mornings.

Visa Options for Europe:

• Portugal Digital Nomad Visa (D8) — solid option if working remotely for a non-Portuguese employer like Nebius
• Germany Freiberufler / Freelancer Visa — if contracting; otherwise standard EU work permit
• Netherlands Highly Skilled Migrant Visa — Nebius is HQ'd in Amsterdam and may sponsor direct hires

Travel-Relevant Perks: No explicit coworking allowance or equipment stipend is mentioned. The "international environment" hints at occasional cross-hub collaboration travel. The lack of salary disclosure makes cost-of-living comparisons difficult, but senior SRE roles in Amsterdam typically range €80k–€120k, comfortable for nomad hubs in Southern Europe.

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're looking for a Site Reliability Engineer to help build and run the fundamental part of Nebius — the Network — the infrastructure everything else depends on. This is an engineering-first SRE role: you'll set clear reliability targets, build the tooling and automation to meet them, and make the network safer to operate as we scale quickly.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Define and own reliability goals for network services and critical paths (SLIs/SLOs, availability targets, error budgets where it makes sense)
• Drive reliability improvements across the whole network: not only services, but also site readiness, inter-site connectivity (DCI), and operational standards
• Own incident response for your areas, lead investigations/postmortems, and turn failures into durable fixes (not repeated firefighting)
• Build and evolve observability: actionable metrics/logs/traces, alerting, and faster debug loops during and after incidents
• Design safer change workflows: automation, CI/CD, test/staging environments, canarying, rollbacks, and auditability for network changes
• Work closely with network engineers and platform teams to embed operability into designs and keep operations practical and fast

We expect you to have:

• Strong production Linux fundamentals and a structured approach to debugging complex systems
• Solid understanding of networking basics and how real networks fail (control plane vs data plane, latency/loss, failure domains, etc.)
• Hands-on experience operating high-availability systems and improving them over time (not just "keeping lights on")
• Ability to write and maintain software/automation (Go is common for us; Python is also welcome)
• Experience with modern infrastructure tooling (e.g., IaC, CI/CD, container platforms) and comfort automating operational workflows

It will be an added bonus if you have:

• Experience with high-throughput traffic processing: load balancers, tunneling/decap, NAT64, or similar datapath-heavy systems
• Low-level networking performance/debug background (eBPF/XDP, DPDK, perf/ftrace, kernel networking internals)
• Experience building network-safe delivery pipelines (testing labs, staged rollouts, automated verification, drift detection)
• Background with large-scale network observability/telemetry (e.g., routing/flow telemetry, regression detection at scale)
• 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

What's it like to work at Nebius:

Fast moving Bold thinking Constant growth Meaningful impact Trust and real ownership Opportunity to shape the future of AI

Is this Network SRE role at Nebius fully remote? The posting emphasizes flexibility and an international environment with hubs across Europe, the UK, North America, and Israel, suggesting remote or hybrid options. However, applicants must be authorized to work in the country in which they apply, so fully location-independent remote work may depend on your country of residence. What programming languages does Nebius primarily use for SRE automation? Go is listed as the most common language for automation at Nebius, though Python is also welcome. Candidates comfortable with either are encouraged to apply. Does Nebius sponsor work visas for this SRE position? The posting states applicants must be authorized to work in the country in which they apply and will need to provide proof of employment eligibility. Visa sponsorship is not explicitly confirmed, so it's worth clarifying during the interview process. What is the salary range for this Network SRE role at Nebius? No specific salary range is disclosed in the job posting. The listing mentions "competitive compensation" — it's recommended to ask directly during the screening call. What level of networking expertise is required for this SRE role? The role requires solid understanding of networking fundamentals including control plane vs. data plane, latency/loss, and failure domains, plus hands-on experience with high-availability systems. Bonus skills include eBPF/XDP, DPDK, and large-scale network telemetry.
