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.
The role
We are looking for a Senior Backend Software Engineer to join our Observability Platform team in Amsterdam or remotely. Building a reliable and profitable cloud platform is impossible without world-class observability. It spans every layer of the stack — from developer tooling and CI/CD pipelines to Kubernetes, managed services, databases, networking, and customer workloads. Our mission is to provide a unified ecosystem for logs, metrics, traces, alerting, and troubleshooting that enables engineers to understand and operate systems at scale. You will build and scale the core services behind this platform, working on high-volume telemetry ingestion, distributed storage, query engines, alerting pipelines, and new ways to help engineers make sense of operational data, including AI-assisted troubleshooting.
We expect you to have
•5+ years of professional software engineering experience
•Strong knowledge of Golang or willingness to quickly switch to it
•Experience building distributed backend systems
•Solid understanding of software reliability, scalability, and performance
•Ability to troubleshoot complex production issues
•Teamwork-oriented approach and strong communication skills
It would be an added bonus if you had
•Experience building or contributing to observability platforms, telemetry systems, or related open-source projects such as Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Jaeger, OpenTelemetry, VictoriaMetrics, Mimir, Tempo, or similar technologies
•Experience using ClickHouse in production
Benefits & Perks
•Competitive compensation
•Career growth and learning opportunities
