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 Senior Customer AI Engineer who will join our Token Factory team to help our customers successfully transition from proof-of-concept to production and scale their AI workloads on Nebius infrastructure.

This role sits at the intersection of engineering, delivery, and customer success – ensuring that what was promised during pre-sales actually works reliably in production. You will work closely with customer engineering teams, Solution Architects, and Product/Infrastructure teams to drive stable, performant, and cost-efficient deployments.

This role is NOT:

  • A sales role (though you will support expansion through value)
  • A pure support role (you won’t just react to tickets)
  • A solution architect role (you won’t design systems from scratch)

You’re welcome to work remotely from the United States.

Your responsibilities will include: 

Own the production journey

  • Lead the transition from PoC to production
  • Ensure customer workloads are deployed, stable, and scalable
  • Drive time-to-production and time-to-value

Ensure technical success in production

  • Understand customer architectures and use cases
  • Monitor and improve:
    - performance (latency, throughput)
    - cost efficiency
    - reliability
  • Identify and resolve bottlenecks proactively

Act as a trusted technical partner

  • Work directly with customer engineering teams
  • Provide guidance on best practices and optimisation
  • Translate technical challenges into actionable solutions

Manage risks and incidents

  • Act as a primary technical contact for production issues
  • Coordinate with internal teams to resolve incidents
  • Communicate clearly during high-pressure situations

Drive continuous improvement

  • Identify opportunities to optimise and expand usage
  • Provide structured feedback to Product and Infrastructure teams
  • Help shape better solutions based on real customer needs

We expect you to have: 

Technical background

  • Practical knowledge of inference frameworks (e.g. vLLM, TensorRT, or similar)
  • Solid understanding of:
    - cloud or infrastructure systems
    - distributed systems or high-load applications
    - AI/ML workloads (LLMs, inference, etc.) is a strong plus
  • Ability to troubleshoot and reason about system performance

Customer-facing experience

  • Experience working directly with technical customers (e.g. engineers, ML teams)
  • Ability to communicate complex topics clearly and effectively

Ownership & execution

  • Strong sense of ownership – you drive outcomes, not just tasks
  • Ability to manage multiple customers and priorities
  • Structured, proactive, and solution-oriented mindset

It will be an added bonus if you have: 

  • Experience with GPU workloads or AI infrastructure
  • Background in solutions engineering, SRE, or technical support in B2B environments

Key employee benefits in the US:

  • 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.
