About this job

<div class="content-intro">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&amp;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&amp;D.</div>About the Product&nbsp; Token Factory is focused on building a next-generation platform that enables companies to seamlessly integrate AI into their products and workflows. Our vision is to create a powerful, open, and scalable alternative for deploying and managing AI systems—making advanced AI infrastructure more accessible to both fast-growing startups and large enterprises.&nbsp; We work with a wide range of customers, from AI-first companies to established technology organisations, helping them run AI workloads reliably at scale. Our goal is to become a leading platform for high-performance AI inference, delivering predictable latency, strong reliability, and the ability to scale to meet demanding production needs.&nbsp; Customer feedback plays&nbsp;a central role&nbsp;in how we build—our development process is highly iterative and closely aligned with real-world use cases.&nbsp; &nbsp;About the Team&nbsp; We are a fast-growing, distributed team of engineers and product professionals based primarily in Europe. The team brings together strong backend, frontend, product, and business&nbsp;expertise, with a shared focus on building impactful, scalable systems.&nbsp; While we initially started without deep specialisation in AI/ML, the team has rapidly grown into the&nbsp; space—demonstrating strong ownership, curiosity, and the ability to tackle complex technical challenges.&nbsp; &nbsp; Technology &amp; Environment&nbsp; Our work is deeply integrated with a broader cloud and infrastructure ecosystem. We primarily use&nbsp;Go and Python&nbsp;to build and scale backend systems and collaborate closely with teams focused on areas such as infrastructure, observability, billing, and AI research.&nbsp; The platform continues to evolve from a lightweight integration layer into a more comprehensive system, including custom infrastructure, optimisations, and deeper control over performance and reliability.&nbsp; &nbsp; What&nbsp;We’re&nbsp;Working On&nbsp; <ul> <li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="1" data-list-defn-props="{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Symbol&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}" data-aria-posinset="1" data-aria-level="1">Scaling distributed systems:&nbsp;Expanding our platform to handle significantly increased workloads while&nbsp;maintaining&nbsp;performance and reliability&nbsp;&nbsp;</li> </ul> <ul> <li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="1" data-list-defn-props="{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Symbol&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}" data-aria-posinset="2" data-aria-level="1">Improving reliability:&nbsp;Enhancing system stability and uptime to meet enterprise-grade expectations&nbsp;&nbsp;</li> </ul> <ul> <li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="1" data-list-defn-props="{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Symbol&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}" data-aria-posinset="3" data-aria-level="1">Optimising AI performance:&nbsp;Continuously adapting to new models, hardware, and runtime improvements&nbsp;&nbsp;</li> </ul> <ul> <li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="1" data-list-defn-props="{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Symbol&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}" data-aria-posinset="4" data-aria-level="1">Expanding platform capabilities:&nbsp;Building beyond inference into broader AI infrastructure, including data pipelines, customization, and advanced usage features&nbsp;&nbsp;</li> </ul> We expect you to have: <ul> <li>5+ years of professional software development experience.</li> <li>Strong software engineering skills (we mostly use Python and Go).</li> <li>Proficiency in contemporary software engineering approaches, including CI/CD, version control and unit testing.</li> <li>Experience with developing web services.</li> <li>A commitment to maintaining extreme rigor in all job-related activities.</li> </ul> Nice to have: <ul> <li>Previous experience working with language models or other similar NLP technologies.</li> <li>A track record of building and delivering products (not necessarily ML-related) in a dynamic startup-like environment.</li> <li>Strong engineering skills, including experience in developing large distributed systems or high-load web services.</li> <li>Open-source projects that showcase your engineering prowess.</li> </ul> &nbsp; Why&nbsp;It’s&nbsp;Interesting&nbsp; This is an opportunity to work at the intersection of&nbsp;distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and applied AI, tackling real-world scalability challenges and shaping how companies adopt AI in production environments.&nbsp;<div class="content-conclusion">Benefits &amp; Perks: <ul> <li>Competitive compensation</li> <li>Career growth and learning opportunities</li> <li>Flexibility and ownership</li> <li>Collaborative and innovative culture</li> <li>Opportunity to work on impactful AI projects</li> <li>International environment and talented teams</li> </ul> What's it like to work at Nebius: Fast moving&nbsp;- Bold thinking&nbsp;- Constant growth&nbsp;- Meaningful impact&nbsp;- Trust and real ownership&nbsp;- Opportunity to shape the future of AI&nbsp; Equal Opportunity Statement: Nebius is an equal opportunity employer.
