Remote Senior Sales Engineer

Why work at Nebius
Nebius is leading a new era in cloud computing to serve the global AI economy. We create the tools and resources our customers need to solve real-world challenges and transform industries, without massive infrastructure costs or the need to build large in-house AI/ML teams. Our employees work at the cutting edge of AI cloud infrastructure alongside some of the most experienced and innovative leaders and engineers in the field.

Where we work
Headquartered in Amsterdam and listed on Nasdaq, Nebius has a global footprint with R&D hubs across Europe, North America, and Israel. The team of over 800 employees includes more than 400 highly skilled engineers with deep expertise across hardware and software engineering, as well as an in-house AI R&D team.

The role
We are building a high-performance AI inference platform for developer-native teams running latency- and cost-sensitive workloads at scale.

In AI infrastructure, PoC success does not always guarantee production success. This role exists to ensure that what we commit to with customers is scalable, efficient, and aligned with platform strategy.

We are looking for a

Senior Sales Engineer

to become a foundational technical partner to our customers and a force multiplier for Sales and Engineering. You will shape complex AI workloads from first discovery through production feasibility validation, ensuring technical rigor, economic viability, and scalable architecture decisions.

You will operate at the intersection of customer ambition, engineering reality, and commercial growth, influencing:

Revenue quality

Engineering focus

Product evolution

Customer trust at scale

You’re welcome to work remotely from the

United States.

Your responsibilities will include:

Strategic Technical Discovery

Lead deep technical discovery with engineering teams and technical founders

Understand model requirements, traffic expectations, latency constraints, GPU economics, and system dependencies

Translate customer ambition into production-feasible architecture.

Identify hidden technical risks early

Commercial Acceleration

Partner tightly with Sales on strategic deals

Influence deal strategy through architectural clarity

Prevent misaligned commitments before engineering allocation

Increase PoC-to-production conversion by ensuring technical realism

PoC Architecture & Validation

Define measurable success criteria (latency, TTFT, throughput, cost envelope)

Classify workload complexity and required optimization depth

Align appropriate resources (ML Solution Architects, engineering, GPU capacity, etc.)

Drive structured Go / No-Go decisions

Prevent uncontrolled customization or hidden R&D

Pattern Recognition & Platform Leverage

Identify recurring configuration patterns across customers

Quantify demand for advanced optimizations (quantization, speculative decoding, etc.)

Surface structured insights to Product and Engineering

Help evolve platform capabilities based on real workload data

We expect you to have:

Deep understanding of AI inference systems and GPU-backed infrastructure

Experience with LLM workloads and performance-sensitive environments

Experience with inference frameworks and libraries (e.g., vLLM, SGLang, TensorRT-LLM).

Ability to reason about latency, throughput, cost, and architecture tradeoffs

Strong customer presence with engineering-first organizations

Comfort challenging assumptions and pushing back constructively

Commercial awareness – you understand that engineering time is a strategic resource

Preferred Technical Stack

Programming Languages– Python

Frameworks and Libraries– vLLM, SGLang, TensorRT-LLM, OpenAI/Anthropic SDKs

Frameworks for Agentic Pipelines : Langchain / Langsmith / smolagents / equivalent

API and Web Frameworks– FastAPI, Flask

MLOps and DevOps tools– Kubernetes (K8s), Docker, Git

Cloud Platforms– AWS (SageMaker, Bedrock), GCP (Vertex AI), Azure (Azure ML)

What Success Looks Like

Strategic deals are technically sound before engineering engagement

PoCs are clearly scoped and economically justified

Engineering capacity is allocated predictably

Conversion to production improves

Customers view you as a trusted architectural advisor
