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.

We are looking for a Lead Software Systems Engineer - GPU Performance to play a key role in building our hyperscaler platform, working across its core components while analyzing and optimizing the performance of large-scale GPU clusters at the intersection of hardware and software.

You will operate across the full stack—from hardware and system software to networking (InfiniBand/RoCE), virtualization (KVM/QEMU), and distributed communication layers (e.g., MPI, NCCL).

In this role you will

  • Focus on understanding system behavior across multiple layers, identifying performance bottlenecks, and driving improvements that shape how our clusters are built, operated, tuned, and validated.
  • Investigate and troubleshoot performance issues of GPU cluster under real workloads (training and inference)
  • Evaluate and integrate new hardware, system configurations and tuning approaches through software stack
  • Support complex performance-related escalations from internal teams and customers
  • Work closely with infrastructure, software engineering and hardware vendor teams (e.g. NVIDIA, Mellanox, Intel)
  • Contribute to hardware and cluster qualification (acceptance), ensuring systems meet performance expectations


We expect you to have:

  • 5+ years of professional experience in system-level software development (focused on performance optimization, low-level programming).

  • 3+ years of hands-on experience with Linux systems (administration, troubleshooting, and performance tuning).

  • In-depth understanding of server architecture, including PCIe devices, NICs, Linux OS/Kernel, and high-performance computing (HPC) systems.

  • Strong proficiency in one or more performance-oriented programming languages (C/C++, Go, Python).

We conduct coding interviews as part of the process.

Key employee benefits:

  • Health insurance: 100% company-paid medical, dental and vision coverage for employees and families.
  • 401(k) plan: Up to 4% company match with immediate vesting.
  • Parental leave: 20 weeks paid for primary caregivers, 12 weeks for secondary caregivers.
  • Remote work reimbursement: Up to $85/month for mobile and internet.
  • Disability & life insurance: Company-paid short-term, long-term and life insurance coverage.
