The role

This role is for Nebius AI R&D, a team focused on applied research and the development of AI-heavy products. Examples of applied research that we have recently published include:

• investigating how test-time guided search can be used to build more powerful agents;
• dramatically scaling task data collection to power reinforcement learning for SWE agents;
• maximizing efficiency of LLM training on agentic trajectories.

One example of an AI product that we are deeply involved in is Nebius Token Factory — an inference and fine-tuning platform for AI models.

This role will require expertise in distributed systems to build large-scale LLM training platform.

Your responsibilities will include: 

• Designing and developing LLM training platform.
• Maintaining our ML infrastructure, ensuring optimal performance, scalability and reliability.
• Improving job scheduling strategies to minimize resource fragmentation. 

We expect you to have:

• 5+ years of professional software development experience.
• Strong software engineering skills (we mostly use Python).
• Proficiency in contemporary software engineering approaches, including CI/CD, version control and unit testing.
• Experience with developing web services.
• A commitment to maintaining extreme rigor in all job-related activities.

Nice to have:

• Previous experience working with language models or other similar NLP technologies.
• A track record of building and delivering products (not necessarily ML-related) in a dynamic startup-like environment.
• Strong engineering skills, including experience in developing large distributed systems or high-load web services.
• Open-source projects that showcase your engineering prowess.
