About this role
Why work at Nebius
Nebius is leading a new era in cloud computing to serve the global AI economy.

Responsibilities
- The VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) team builds and operates the core networking layer of our cloud platform. We enable virtual machines to communicate reliably by abstracting them from the underlying physical network, providing seamless IP-based connectivity even as workloads move across the datacenter.

- Capable of writing reliable, high-performance code
- Proficient in C/C++ or Go and ready to learn both.
- Familiar with routing network traffic
- It would be an added bonus if you had:
- Worked with VPP, DPDK, and the Linux kernel network subsystem
- Well-versed in virtual networks and overlays, SDN, NFV, DPI, network protocols, routing and tunneling, BGP, and MPL
- We conduct coding interviews as part of the process.
