Software Engineer in Infrastructure

We are seeking a Network Software Engineer (NetSWE) to build software that makes network operations safe, scalable, and boring — even as we launch new data centers and expand fast. This is not a “write scripts for configs” role: you’ll build the tooling and services that sit between the network core (switches/ports/VLANs, traffic processors) and the cloud platform on top, using open source where it fits and building the missing pieces where it doesn’t. Your responsibilities will include: Build and maintain services and tooling that automate the network lifecycle: day-0 provisioning, day-N changes, drift detection, and operational verification Make network changes safe and transparent: CI/CD workflows, diff/review tooling, staged rollouts/rollbacks, audit trails, and guardrails Develop observability systems that scale across many sites: telemetry pipelines, signal quality, and tooling that shortens incident investigations Close “last mile” gaps between the network and the platform: integrate source-of-truth data, expose APIs, and build reliable automation around it Collaborate closely with network engineers and SREs to turn real operational pain into product-quality tooling We expect you to have: 5+ years of professional software engineering experience (or equivalent practical background) Strong coding skills and ownership mindset: you can ship and operate reliable services Proficiency in Go or readiness to switch; Python is also welcome (other languages can be useful for OSS debugging/fixes) You don’t have to be Network expert but we expect you to have interest in infrastructure and/or network It will be an added bonus if you have: Background in networking (ex-network engineer, CCNP/education, DC networking exposure) or strong interest and proven ability to learn fast Experience building automation/infra tooling: CI/CD, IaC, testing/staging environments, or “network-as-code” style workflows Low-level networking / datapath experience: eBPF/XDP, DPDK, kernel networking, traffic processing systems Experience designing high-load services and observability platforms (metrics/logs/traces, alerting, regression detection) Contributions to open source or experience extending/debugging OSS components in production environments We expect Staff Engineers to : Manage large-scale projects involving multiple stakeholders Break down complex tasks and guide both their own work and that of more junior colleagues Be experts in specific technologies and write high-quality code that can serve as a reference Assess task priority and focus on high-impact work, avoiding low-value efforts Have strong architectural thinking and contribute to system design Be involved in hiring and actively contribute to interviews Be willing to share knowledge and mentor others Benefits & Perks: 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 What's it like to work at Nebius: Fast moving - Bold thinking - Constant growth - Meaningful impact - Trust and real ownership - Opportunity to shape the future of AI Pay Transparency We offer competitive compensation and benefits packages.
