Forward Deployed Engineer - Physical AI

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 Forward Deployed Engineer, Cloud Platform is a senior, high-autonomy individual contributor role that owns the infrastructure foundation making the physical AI platform fast, reliable, scalable, secure, and cost-effective. This role sits with strategic customers and ISV partners, embedded directly inside their engineering teams, and ships production infrastructure that lets customers run real physical AI workloads, not just demos. Your job is to make the platform feel like a product, not a collection of cloud scripts. You will work alongside the Field CTO and the Head of Physical AI, and partner closely with the Physical AI Systems and Platform & Product FDEs. Inside each account, you own end-to-end technical execution: discovery, scoping, infrastructure design, build, and production rollout. Across accounts, you turn repeated infrastructure pain into reusable platform capabilities and partner with Product and Engineering to fold them into the core platform. Your field work is the primary input to the Nebius Physical AI roadmap. You are welcome to work remotely from the United States (SF Bay Area, CA or Austin, TX preferred).
