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.
About the role:
Token Factory is a part of Nebius Cloud, one of the world’s largest GPU clouds, running tens of thousands of GPUs. We are building an inference platform that makes every kind of foundation model — text, vision, audio, and emerging multimodal architectures — fast, reliable, and effortless to deploy at massive scale.
Responsibilities:
- Develop and optimize low-level kernels and runtime components for AI inference
- Improve performance of inference engines GPU platforms
- Profile and debug system-level and hardware-level performance issues
- Integrate support for new hardware architectures (Hopper, Blackwell, Rubin)
- Collaborate with ML and backend teams to optimize end-to-end execution
Required Qualifications:
- Strong proficiency in C++, OR expertise in GPU programming with a focus on low-level high-performance coding and memory management
