Staff Network Software Engineer

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’re looking for 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 th …
