About Nebius
Nebius is a technology company building full-stack infrastructure to power the global AI industry — from large-scale GPU clusters and cloud platforms to developer tools and managed machine-learning services. Headquartered in Amsterdam, our engineering teams design and operate some of the most demanding compute systems in the world.

The Role
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our platform engineering team in Amsterdam. You will design, build and scale the distributed systems and APIs that power our AI cloud — owning features end to end, from architecture and implementation through to deployment and operation in production.

What You'll Do

  • Design and build scalable, reliable backend services and APIs for our AI cloud platform.

  • Own features end to end — architecture, implementation, testing, deployment and on-call ownership.

  • Improve the performance, scalability and observability of large-scale distributed systems.

  • Collaborate with product, infrastructure and ML teams to turn requirements into robust technical solutions.

  • Write clean, well-tested, maintainable code and uphold a high engineering bar through code review.

  • Mentor engineers and contribute to technical direction, standards and best practices.

What We're Looking For

  • 5+ years of professional software engineering experience building production backend systems.

  • Strong proficiency in one or more of Go, Rust, Python, Java or C++.

  • Solid understanding of distributed systems, concurrency, networking and data storage.

  • Hands-on experience with cloud platforms, containers and orchestration (Kubernetes, Docker).

  • A pragmatic approach to testing, CI/CD and operating services in production.

  • Excellent communication skills and a collaborative, ownership-driven mindset.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with GPU/HPC, ML infrastructure or high-performance computing.

  • Contributions to open-source projects or experience operating systems at large scale.

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary with stock options in a fast-growing NASDAQ-listed company.

  • The chance to work on cutting-edge AI infrastructure at global scale.

  • A hybrid working model based out of our Amsterdam office.

  • Relocation support and visa sponsorship for international candidates.

  • Learning budget, modern equipment and a collaborative engineering culture.

Build the infrastructure behind the AI era. Apply now to join our Amsterdam engineering team.

Nebius is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees, regardless of background.
