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 Infrastructure Acquisition Group

The Infrastructure Acquisition Group secures the land, power, and data centre capacity that enables the Nebius AI Cloud. We identify where Nebius should grow next, structure the commercial agreements that make that growth possible, and partner across engineering, energy, finance, legal and development to bring new AI infrastructure online.

Examples of Problems We’re Solving

• Determine whether a site can actually support the AI infrastructure we plan to build. Lead multidisciplinary technical due diligence across geotechnical, environmental, civil, utility and entitlement workstreams to determine whether a project is technically feasible before Nebius commits capital.
• Build a repeatable technical due diligence programme. Help establish the standards, consultant network, playbooks and review processes that ensure every infrastructure opportunity is evaluated consistently across the Americas.
• Identify technical risk before it becomes commercial risk. Work with Site Selection, Project Development, Engineering and external consultants to identify development constraints early enough to influence negotiations, investment decisions and project schedules.

About the Role

As a Technical Due Diligence Manager, you’ll evaluate the technical feasibility of AI infrastructure opportunities across the Americas before Nebius commits capital. Working within the Infrastructure Acquisition Group, you’ll lead multidisciplinary engineering due diligence across powered land and build‑to‑suit developments, partnering with Site Selection, Engineering, Energy, Legal and Project Development to identify technical risk, assess development feasibility and support investment decisions.

This is a build‑phase role on a build‑phase team. Many of the standards, playbooks, consultant relationships and technical review processes you’ll use are still being written—in some cases, you’ll help write them. We’re looking for someone who can independently lead complex technical due diligence programmes while helping build the systems that make every future evaluation faster, more consistent and more scalable.

What You’ll Own

• Lead multidisciplinary technical due diligence for powered land, build‑to‑suit and other strategic infrastructure opportunities.
• Define the scope of engineering, environmental, geotechnical, surveying, utility and entitlement studies required to evaluate prospective sites.
• Procure, manage and coordinate external engineering and technical consultants from scope development through final recommendation.
• Interpret technical findings and provide development recommendations supporting acquisition decisions.
• Prepare technical due diligence summaries and present risks, constraints and recommendations to executive leadership.

Technical Risk Assessment

• Evaluate geotechnical conditions, environmental constraints, utility capacity, network connectivity and fibre access, entitlement requirements, constructability and development schedules.
• Identify technical risks that may impact project cost, schedule or feasibility.
• Recommend mitigation strategies and additional investigations where appropriate.
• Quantify technical risks and communicate commercial impacts to Site Selection and Project Development.

Studies & Consultant Management

• Define the scope of engineering, environmental, geotechnical, surveying, utility and entitlement studies required to evaluate prospective sites.
• Procure, manage and coordinate external engineering and technical consultants from scope development through final recommendation.
• Interpret engineering studies and translate technical findings into clear development recommendations.
• Maintain technical documentation and due diligence records that support investment decisions.

Program Standards & Process

• Apply Nebius’ technical due diligence standards consistently across all projects.
• Help develop and improve due diligence templates, consultant scopes, checklists and review processes.
• Capture lessons learned to strengthen future technical evaluations.
• Build and maintain a trusted network of engineering and technical consultants.

Cross‑Functional Collaboration

• Partner with Site Selection to evaluate new infrastructure opportunities and support acquisition recommendations.
• Work with Project Development to transition technically viable projects into development.
• Coordinate with Engineering, Energy, Network, Legal, Finance and Delivery throughout the acquisition lifecycle.
• Build trusted relationships with engineering firms, land‑use attorneys, environmental consultants and technical partners.

What Success Looks Like

• Deliver timely technical recommendations that support investment decisions.
• Identify development risks early enough to influence commercial negotiations and project strategy.
• Establish consistent technical due diligence standards across the Americas.
• Build a trusted network of engineering and technical consultants.
• Help build the standards and processes the Infrastructure Acquisition Group runs on as it scales.

What You’ll Bring

• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and building processes where none exist. Able to independently lead complex technical due diligence efforts while helping define how future evaluations should be performed.
• 5–10 years of experience leading technical due diligence, site development, civil engineering, land development, infrastructure design or large‑scale industrial projects.
• Experience managing multidisciplinary engineering and environmental consultants.
• Strong understanding of geotechnical investigations, environmental assessments, zoning, entitlements, utility coordination, permitting and infrastructure development.
• Ability to interpret engineering studies and translate technical findings into business recommendations.
• Excellent communication and executive presentation skills.
• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Architecture, Construction Management, Real Estate Development or a related discipline, or equivalent experience.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting hyperscale data centre, AI infrastructure or mission‑critical developments.
• Professional Engineer (PE), PMP or similar technical certification.
• Experience with large‑scale infrastructure acquisition or development programmes.
• Knowledge of utility infrastructure, transmission and power markets.

Why Join Nebius

The infrastructure supporting AI is being built now. This is an opportunity to help define how Nebius evaluates the next generation of AI infrastructure while helping build the function itself – the standards, consultant network, technical processes and playbooks that will support infrastructure investments across the Americas. You’ll work on some of the industry’s largest and most complex AI infrastructure opportunities while helping shape the physical foundation of the global AI economy.
