[Remote] Staff Network Software Engineer

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Nebius is building a full-stack AI cloud platform for developers and enterprises, spanning data and model training through production deployment. The Staff Network Software Engineer will build scalable services and tooling for network lifecycle automation, safe network changes, observability, platform integration, and operational reliability while leading complex projects and mentoring engineers.

Responsibilities

• 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
• 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

Skills

• 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
• 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
• Applicants must be authorized to work in the country in which they apply
• 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

Benefits

• Career growth and learning opportunities
• Flexibility and ownership
• Collaborative and innovative culture
• Opportunity to work on impactful AI projects
• International environment and talented teams
