Nebius

Systems software engineer for GPU compute

In short

Senior systems software engineer role at an AI cloud infrastructure company, focused on tuning and troubleshooting GPU clusters and InfiniBand networks in HPC environments, integrating new GPU hardware via Kubernetes/QEMU/KVM, and building automation for monitoring and issue resolution. Requires 5+ years in system-level/low-level performance software development and 3+ years hands-on Linux administration and performance tuning, with strong C/C++, Go or Python skills and deep knowledge of server/PCIe/NIC architecture. Based onsite in Amsterdam.

About the role
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.
Responsibilities
•Tuning the performance of GPU clusters and InfiniBand networks to ensure optimal operation in HPC and GPU-based environments.
•Analyzing and troubleshooting the root cause of issues related to GPUs and InfiniBand networks, and proposing corrective actions.
•Integrating new hardware into the existing infrastructure, including support for new GPU hardware through software stacks like Kubernetes, QEMU, and KVM.
•Enhancing automation systems for proactive monitoring, detecting, and resolving issues in GPU and InfiniBand environments.
•Configuring and managing GPU devices and InfiniBand fabrics, ensuring efficient and reliable operation.
Requirements
•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).
Nice to have
•Experience with GPU end-to-end testing in a cluster environment using InfiniBand networking.
•Proven track record of analyzing and optimizing the performance of HPC workloads (e.g., simulations, data analysis, AI/ML workloads).
•Familiarity with RDMA, RoCE, and InfiniBand protocols for high-performance communication.
•Background in Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and experience with HPC cluster networking.
•Understanding of QEMU/KVM virtualization and managing virtualized environments.
•Experience with deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch and TensorFlow, and their integration with HPC systems.
•Familiarity with collective communication libraries like MPI and NCCL for distributed computing.
What we offer
•Competitive salaries ranging from $170k-$300k + equity based on your experience.
•Career growth and learning opportunities.
•Flexibility and ownership.
•Collaborative and innovative culture.
•Opportunity to work on impactful AI projects.
•International environment and talented teams.
