Infrastructure Software Engineer

Details

Nebius is leading a new era in cloud computing to serve the global AI economy. We create the tools and resources our customers need to solve real-world challenges and transform industries, without massive infrastructure costs or the need to build large in-house AI/ML teams. Employees work at the cutting edge of AI cloud infrastructure alongside experienced leaders and engineers.

Role overview

Nebius operates large-scale, mission-critical bare-metal infrastructure. As a Software Engineer (Python) you will design and build systems that provision, configure, test, and manage physical hardware at scale. Your work will sit close to the metal — interfacing directly with servers, networks, and management controllers — while supporting highly automated, reliable infrastructure operations. You will collaborate closely with hardware, networking, and data center operations teams to ensure platforms are robust, scalable, and production ready.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop backend services and automation in Python
• Build and maintain systems for hardware provisioning, testing, and lifecycle management
• Develop software that runs directly on bare-metal environments
• Integrate with Linux systems, using Bash and low-level tooling where needed
• Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure-focused software
• Work with networking services including IPv4/IPv6, DHCP, DNS, network boot, and server boot workflows (PXE / network boot)
• Interface with BMC controllers and management protocols (IPMI-style protocols, HTTP-based standards)
• Enable reliable hardware interaction and automation across large fleets
• Support ARM64 / ARM64EC architectures
• Design and integrate NoSQL data stores for system state and orchestration data
• Write clear documentation and contribute to operational excellence

Requirements

• Strong professional experience as a software engineer, with a focus on Python
• Solid experience with Linux systems and shell scripting (Bash)
• Hands-on experience working with bare-metal servers or low-level infrastructure
• Strong understanding of networking fundamentals (IPv4/IPv6, DHCP, DNS, PXE / network boot)
• Experience interacting with hardware management interfaces (BMC, IPMI-like protocols, HTTP APIs)
• Familiarity with CI/CD systems and production deployment workflows
• Experience designing or working with NoSQL databases
• Ability to debug complex issues spanning software, hardware, and networks
• Strong ownership mindset and clear communication skills in a distributed team

Nice to have

• Experience operating or building systems for large-scale infrastructure
• Familiarity with ARM-based platforms in production environments
• Background in hardware testing, validation, or factory provisioning
• Experience with infrastructure automation or internal platform tooling
• Contributions to open-source or internal systems software projects

Working conditions

• Fully remote position (United States)
• Collaboration with globally distributed engineering and operations teams

Benefits

• Health insurance: 100% company-paid medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees and families
• 401(k) plan: up to 4% company match with immediate vesting
• Parental leave: 20 weeks paid for primary caregivers, 12 weeks for secondary caregivers
• Remote work reimbursement: up to $85/month for mobile and internet
• Disability & life insurance: company-paid short-term, long-term, and life insurance coverage
• Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package
• Opportunities for professional growth and flexible working arrangements

Compensation

We offer competitive salaries, ranging from $150k–$210k base, plus equity and quarterly performance bonuses.
