The role, at a glance.
Nebius is seeking an ML Infrastructure Engineer to benchmark and optimize GPU platforms for large-scale AI and machine-learning workloads. The role focuses on system- and kernel-level performance profiling, GPU cluster acceptance testing, workload debugging, and evaluation of CUDA- and ROCm-based stacks. The engineer will work with deep-learning frameworks such as PyTorch, JAX, Megatron-LM, and TensorRT-LLM, while developing internal benchmarking tools and performance dashboards. Success requires strong knowledge of distributed training and inference, GPU software stacks, containerized environments, and performance-analysis tooling. This is a highly technical infrastructure role with significant ownership and cross-functional collaboration with hardware and development teams.

Sample interview questions
I would first define representative models, datasets, batch sizes, precision modes, and parallelism strategies. I would collect throughput, latency, scaling efficiency, memory use, communication overhead, and utilization metrics across repeatable runs, then correlate framework-level measurements with GPU and network profiler data.
I would determine whether the bottleneck is input loading, CPU execution, host-to-device transfer, kernel efficiency, memory pressure, synchronization, or distributed communication. Tools such as PyTorch Profiler, Nsight Systems, and Nsight Compute would help isolate idle periods, inefficient kernels, and excessive synchronization.
Each method changes the compute-to-communication balance and memory distribution. I would select and tune them based on model architecture, sequence length, GPU memory, interconnect bandwidth, cluster topology, and target throughput or latency, validating choices through controlled benchmarks.
I would validate hardware health, driver and firmware compatibility, fabric connectivity, storage and network performance, collective communication behavior, stability under sustained load, and expected training or inference benchmark results. I would compare results against baselines and document failures with reproducible diagnostics.
I would expose actionable metrics such as tokens per second, step time, latency percentiles, GPU utilization, memory consumption, NCCL communication time, error rates, and scaling efficiency. The dashboard should support comparisons by hardware generation, software version, model, workload configuration, and cluster topology.

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
We are seeking a highly skilled ML/AI Engineer to join our team to lead and support benchmarking of GPU platforms benchmarking of GPU platforms for machine learning and AI workloads. You will play a critical role in evaluating the performance of GPU-based hardware for various deep learning and AI frameworks, enabling data-driven decisions for platform optimisation and next-generation hardware development.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Work closely with hardware, development teams to profile and analyse GPU performance at the system and kernel level.
- Evaluate and compare GPU performance across different platforms, architectures, and software stacks (e.g.,CUDA, ROCm).
- Debug and optimise ML workloads to run efficiently on GPU hardware, identifying and resolving performance bottlenecks.
- Perform acceptance testing acceptance testing for new GPU clusters, ensuring hardware and software meet performance, stability, and compatibility requirements for AI workloads.
- Perform experiments across diverse GPU system configurations to assess the impact of varying interconnect strategies and system-level optimisations on performance and scalability.
- Develop tools and dashboards to visualise performance metrics visualise performance metrics, bottlenecks, and trends.
- Contribute to internal tooling, frameworks, and best practices
