Job description
About the Position
We are looking for an Engineering Manager for Network Infrastructure to join our team in the US. This role is for someone with a strong engineering background who has built, operated, and recovered systems, and can earn the trust of SREs, SWEs, network engineers, and security and platform teams. At Nebius, 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.
About the Company
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, 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.
Responsibilities
- Set the engineering bar: code quality, design review, on-call and incident management practices, and operational standards
- Own end-to-end delivery of cross-team network infrastructure initiatives in the US, from a vague problem statement to an executable plan to adoption
- Define scope and success criteria, align owners across SRE, SWE, network, security, platform, and data center teams, and drive decisions to closure
- Review designs and technical proposals, challenge missing assumptions, and surface failure modes, dependencies, and risks early
- Stay hands-on where it matters: step into incidents, write code or automation, and unblock the team
- Drive adoption: make sure tools and workflows become the default way of working, with real documentation, runbooks, and feedback loops
- Keep stakeholders, including the European teams, informed with clear, honest status and coordinate across time zones
- Turn operational pain and engineering input into a clear, prioritized backlog
Requirements
- 7+ years of experience in software, SRE, network, or infrastructure engineering, including experience leading cross-team technical initiatives
- A real engineering background: you have built and operated production systems and can earn the trust of deeply technical teams
- Ability to read design docs and technical proposals, understand trade-offs, and ask sharp questions about reliability, rollback, blast radius, and failure modes
- Strong understanding of infrastructure fundamentals (Linux, networking, automation, CI/CD) at the level needed to hold your own in technical discussions
- Proven ability to drive decisions and create clarity in ambiguous, fast-changing environments
- Excellent written and verbal communication, including documenting plans and decisions and influencing smart technical people
- Ability to work independently in an early-stage environment and to build processes from scratch
- Professional working proficiency in English (spoken and written) and comfort working across time zones
Nice to Have
- Experience with network infrastructure: network automation, observability, or network device lifecycle management
- Experience with SLO/SLI frameworks, incident management, or production readiness processes
- Experience with CI/CD or change management for network or other high-blast-radius infrastructure
- Experience building a team from scratch or launching a new engineering hub
- Experience with secrets and access management, firmware rollout, or fleet-wide operational initiatives
- Hands-on engineering contributions (code, tooling, automation) alongside management work
- Knowledge of the US network landscape (carriers, IX, regional connectivity, and regulatory specifics)
We Offer
- 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
