Job description
We're looking for a Network Software Engineer (NetSWE) to build software that makes network operations safe, scalable, and boring - even as we launch new data centers and expand fast. This is not a "write scripts for configs" role: you'll build the tooling and services that sit between the network core (switches/ports/VLANs, traffic processors) and the cloud platform on top, using open source where it fits and building the missing pieces where it doesn't., * Build and maintain services and tooling that automate the network lifecycle: day-0 provisioning, day-N changes, drift detection, and operational verification
- Make network changes safe and transparent: CI/CD workflows, diff/review tooling, staged rollouts/rollbacks, audit trails, and guardrails
- Develop observability systems that scale across many sites: telemetry pipelines, signal quality, and tooling that shortens incident investigations
- Close "last mile" gaps between the network and the platform: integrate source-of-truth data, expose APIs, and build reliable automation around it
- Collaborate closely with network engineers and SREs to turn real operational pain into product-quality tooling
Requirements
Do you have experience in Python?, * 5+ years of professional software engineering experience (or equivalent practical background)
- Strong coding skills and ownership mindset: you can ship and operate reliable services
- Proficiency in Go or readiness to switch; Python is also welcome (other languages can be useful for OSS debugging/fixes)
- You don't have to be Network expert but we expect you to have interest in infrastructure and/or network, * Background in networking (ex-network engineer, CCNP/education, DC networking exposure) or strong interest and proven ability to learn fast
- Experience building automation/infra tooling: CI/CD, IaC, testing/staging environments, or "network-as-code" style workflows
- Low-level networking / datapath experience: eBPF/XDP, DPDK, kernel networking, traffic processing systems
- Experience designing high-load services and observability platforms (metrics/logs/traces, alerting, regression detection)
- Contributions to open source or experience extending/debugging OSS components in production environments
Benefits & conditions
- Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package.
- Opportunities for professional growth within Nebius.
- Flexible working arrangements.
- A dynamic and collaborative work environment that values initiative and innovation.
