Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Network Software Engineer - **Company:** Nebius Inc. - **Location:** United States (Remote available) - **Experience:** Expert - **Salary:** $180,000.0 - $224,000.0 - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Clean Code Principles, Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), Artificial Intelligence, Continuous Integration, Software Debugging, Python (Programming Language), Open Source Technology, Software Deployment, Software Engineering, Software Coding - **Published:** July 25, 2026 - **Apply:** https://careers.nebius.com/?gh_jid=4906458101 ## About the Role * 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, Applicants must be authorized to work in the country in which they apply and will be required to provide proof of employment eligibility as a condition of hire. ## 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. Your responsibilities will include: * 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, We expect Staff Engineers to : * Manage large-scale projects involving multiple stakeholders * Break down complex tasks and guide both their own work and that of more junior colleagues * Be experts in specific technologies and write high-quality code that can serve as a reference * Assess task priority and focus on high-impact work, avoiding low-value efforts * Have strong architectural thinking and contribute to system design * Be involved in hiring and actively contribute to interviews * Be willing to share knowledge and mentor others ## Related Videos - [Unleashing the Power of Developers: Why Cybersecurity is the Missing Piece?!?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/712-unleashing-the-power-of-developers-why-cybersecurity-is-the-missing-piece) - [Using AI Without Losing Your Skills](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2045-using-ai-without-losing-your-skills) - [100 times more frequent deployments: How did we create a high performance team?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1069-100-times-more-frequent-deployments-how-did-we-create-a-high-performance-team) - [An Applied Introduction to eBPF with Go](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1075-an-applied-introduction-to-ebpf-with-go) - [AI Killed DevOps...
