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.
Responsibilities
In this role, you will:
- Design and implement new functionality in YTsaurus core (C++) with production reliability in mind.
- Build and evolve platform-level capabilities: platform architecture and operating model-multi-cluster growth, shared primitives, and a consistent experience that scales with new teams and use cases.
- Improve end-to-end platform experience for internal (and external-facing) users: APIs, guardrails, debugging workflows, and automation.
- Own production quality: incident response / on-call rotation, root cause analysis, and turning learnings into durable fixes.
Requirements
- 5+ years of software engineering experience.
- Strong C++ skills (you’ll write core code).
- Working knowledge of Python and/or Go (you don’t have to be expert, but should be comfortable navigating them).
- Experience developing and/or operating high-load, distributed services.
- Production mindset: ability to use SSH, read logs/metrics/traces, and debug distributed systems behavior.
- Solid CS fundamentals: algorithms, data structures, concurrency basics.
Nice to Have
- Experience with Big Data systems (YTsaurus/Hadoop/Spark/ClickHouse/Kafka-like ecosystems).
- Experience with multi-tenant platforms, schedulers, resource isolation, quotas, and reliability engineering.
- Strong performance engineering skills (profiling, lock contention, latency/throughput tradeoffs).
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
