About the role

Nebius is entering a strategic, multi-year partnership with Meta that spans infrastructure, capacity delivery, technical integration, commercial execution, and executive-level coordination. This partnership is business-critical and externally visible, with timelines, financial commitments, and reputational risk at the highest level.
