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 Senior Systems HPC Engineer 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.

Show full description

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.
