Forward Deployed Engineer, Ecosystem

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 Nebius builds the infrastructure serious AI teams run on — GPU clusters, inference runtimes, agent development environments, data pipelines — all of it purpose-built for the most demanding AI workloads. What we are now building is the ecosystem function that ensures the best AI companies choose to build on us, integrate with us, and stay. As a Forward Deployed Engineer, Ecosystem , you will sit at the intersection of solution architecture and hands-on engineering. You assess how partner products actually work on our stack, define the reference architecture for each integration, build the working prototype that proves it, and translate what you find into product requirements that shape what Nebius ships next. Your responsibilities will include : Solutioning & Architecture • Design and prototype integrations between partner products and the Nebius platform — fast, hands-on, and technically sound • Define reference architectures for partner integrations — not just what works, but how it should work at scale and in production • Scope partner architectures against our platform — how does this product actually work on our stack, where does it snap together, where does it break • Build production-quality proof-of-concepts across the AI stack including agentic pipelines, RAG architectures, inference optimization patterns, and multi-model orchestration • Produce working proof-of-concepts that serve as the starting point for product creation — not a requirements doc, a working thing • Maintain a library of reference architectures and integration patterns that internal product and engineering teams can build from Technical Partner Scoping • Work directly with partner engineering teams to scope, prototype, and progress integrations • Assess partner architectures honestly — if the integration is painful, that is signal; if it snaps together in a weekend, that is also signal; report both • Provide technical guidance to partners on how to maximize performance, reliability, and cost efficiency on Nebius infrastructure • Produce technical scoping that gives your pod partner and internal teams a clear picture of integration feasibility, depth, and complexity Internal • Translate external integration findings into actionable product requirements for Nebius platform teams • Work with ISV partners, SI teams, and field teams to scale solution adoption and drive revenue once a solution is ready • Surface recurring architectural patterns and integration gaps to inform platform roadmap decisions • Participate in platform planning as the technical voice of what you are seeing and building in the field Ecosystem Presence • Represent Nebius at hackathons, in open source communities, and at technical events • Build in public — demos, reference architectures, and integrations that establish Nebius as the platform serious AI builders choose • Stay current with the AI tooling ecosystem — you know what shipped last week and what it means for our stack Platform focus areas: Depending on
