Prepare your resume, explore your fit, and draft a cover letter for this opportunity. Opportunity details ## About this role. About [Nebius](https://jobicy.com/company/nebius.md): 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 IP Backbone TPM coordinates the planning and delivery of Nebius’s global IP backbone and Internet edge. The role connects data center launches, customer and platform demand, IP architecture, network engineering, procurement, and external providers so that sites have the routing, transit, peering, hardware, and address resources needed for service readiness and growth. The TPM is accountable for end-to-end project coordination: defining scope with technical owners, building integrated plans, tracking dependencies and risks, driving decisions to closure, and confirming handover. Network Architecture and Engineering own technical standards and design decisions; engineers lead implementation. The TPM keeps those workstreams aligned and ensures the required outcomes are delivered. ### Nebius Regions and HQ In summer 2026, we introduced the concept of regions to remove dependence on the Amsterdam HQ and speed decision making. The regional change applies to procurement, logistics, and IT datacenter operations. Network infrastructure remains an HQ function because its architecture and design affect all sites. ### Position Scope Please note that Nebius is in a state of rapid growth. Due to this, the scope and responsibilities of the role will constantly evolve based on business and team needs. ### Site and PoP Readiness * Coordinate IP connectivity due diligence for new data center and PoP locations. * Confirm the planned site role in the backbone and the required connectivity to regional and Super PoPs. * Track site dependencies such as rack space, power, security, cross-connects, cabling, hardware delivery, and carrier access. * Coordinate PoP build plans with IP Engineering, Layer 1 Planning, Data Center Operations, , Security, and Procurement. * Identify the boundary between IP and Layer 1 work early, including transport handoffs, demarcation points, and ownership of cross-connects. * Confirm that IP equipment and provider services are ready for installation, testing, and operational handover. ### IP Connectivity Planning * Coordinate plans for IP transit, peering, private interconnects, and backbone connectivity in line with the global network strategy. * Track provider requirements, site availability, port capacity, cross-connects, delivery dates, commercial terms, and technical acceptance criteria. * Work with Procurement and network architects to gather and review ISP information using the provider qualification checklist. Use the completed assessment and architect input to support provider selection and record the decision and any conditions. * Plan connectivity for new data center launches, including the required paths from the front-end fabric to the Nebius backbone, transit providers, cloud on-ramps, and peering locations as applicable. * Maintain an integrated view of circuit, port, router, optics, and cross-connect dependencies so that a delivered service can be activated end to end. * Coordinate capacity growth and diverse connectivity plans before demand or a new launch creates a service constraint. ### Internet Routing Resources and Security * Coordinate the lifecycle and accurate records for Nebius IPv4 and IPv6 address allocations, assignments, and utilization. * Maintain an operational view of ASN use and dependencies across regions, PoPs, transit providers, peers, and customer-facing services. * Coordinate the creation, review, and maintenance of AS-SETs, route objects, and ROAs with the responsible technical owners and relevant registries. * Track RPKI and IRR readiness as part of provider onboarding, routing changes, and new-site launches. * Coordinate remediation of resource or routing-security issues with Network Engineering and external providers. ### Backbone Hardware and Supply * Maintain a forward-looking view of IP backbone hardware demand based on PoP builds, data center launches, capacity plans, and approved architecture. * Coordinate hardware planning and delivery for routers, line cards, optics, spares, software entitlements, and related components. Standard platforms are Juniper MX304 routers for peering borders, Juniper PTX10002 routers for data center borders, and Cisco 8000 Series routers for Cloud Interconnect (CIC) and cloud on-ramps. * Work with IP Engineering to translate approved designs into complete, validated bills of materials and deployment requirements. * Track forecasts, purchase requests, supplier commitments, lead times, delivery allocations, and regional logistics with Network Supply and Procurement. * Coordinate supply for PoP out-of-band equipment (currently MikroTik, with future SD-WAN platforms under consideration), console access, and PoP management networks. Security appliances are outside this role’s hardware scope. * Identify supply risks early and coordinate mitigation options with technical owners, procurement, and project stakeholders. * Keep project schedules aligned with hardware readiness, site readiness, and service activation milestones. ### Delivery and Launch Coordination * Build and maintain integrated delivery plans for IP backbone projects, PoP builds, provider services, and data center launches. * Coordinate work across IP Architecture, IP Engineering, Layer 1 Planning, Data Center Operations, Construction, Security, Procurement, and providers. * Define milestones, prerequisites, owners, acceptance criteria, and handover requirements for each workstream. * Drive resolution of blockers and escalate risks that could affect site launch, customer commitments, capacity, or network resilience. * Coordinate testing, service activation, routing turn-up, documentation, and operational handover with the engineering and operations teams. * Maintain clear status reporting for project scope, schedule, dependencies, decisions, risks, and actions. ### Operations and Capacity Management * Track IP backbone and Internet edge capacity against forecast demand, data center growth, customer requirements, and platform launches. * Coordinate port, router, transit, peering, address-resource, and hardware expansion before capacity constraints affect service readiness. * Maintain accurate records of PoPs, providers, circuits, ports, ASNs, address allocations, AS-SETs, ROAs, and deployment status in the agreed systems of record. * Support incident follow-up and provider escalations when delivery or service issues affect backbone availability. * Review completed projects with technical and operations teams, capture lessons learned, and improve planning and handover processes. * Support ongoing improvements to resiliency, routing security, provider diversity, and operational readiness. ### Working Boundaries with Layer 1 Planning IP and Layer 1 TPMs share delivery responsibility for PoP and data center connectivity projects. The IP TPM coordinates the IP service outcome: routing, transit, peering, IP address resources, IP hardware, and service activation. The Layer 1 TPM coordinates the physical and optical transport outcome: fiber routes, wavelengths or dark fiber, DWDM systems, ILAs, and the transport path to the agreed handoff. For shared projects, the two TPMs should maintain one integrated milestone plan, agree the service demarcation and handoff points with engineering, and assign a clear owner to each dependency. Technical design and configuration decisions remain with the relevant architecture and engineering owners. ### Internal Operating Context Nebius infrastructure supports Nebius Cloud Platform, Nebius Token Factory, Meta, Microsoft, and selected bare-metal customers. The IP backbone TPM works with product and infrastructure stakeholders to translate Nebius Cloud launches and requirements into deliverable connectivity plans. This scope covers Nebius Cloud by default; Internet access for a bare-metal customer is included when that customer specifically requests it. Cloud Interconnect requirements may require dedicated on-ramp planning. For provider onboarding, Procurement coordinates the commercial process and issues the qualification questionnaire. The TPM coordinates technical due diligence with Backbone Architecture and Engineering, tracks completion, and records the approval decision and follow-up actions. The TPM coordinates the provider assessment and selection process with Procurement and the network architects, using the qualification checklist and architect input to reach and document the decision. ### Security Project Coordination The TPM may coordinate IP security and DDoS-related projects that affect the backbone or Internet edge. Security Architects lead these projects and own the security architecture and technical decisions. The TPM coordinates scope, dependencies, milestones, risks, stakeholder communication, and delivery handover with Security, Network Architecture, Engineering, Procurement, and providers as needed. ### Key Collaborators Function Typical contribution IP / Backbone Architecture Defines architecture and technical standards; provides technical input to provider selection and design decisions IP Engineering Owns detailed design, configuration, implementation, testing, and technical handover Front End Fabric Deploy Team Ensures that OOB connectivity is ready, and that CAB + Border related deploy work is completed and unblocks this team. Layer 1 Planning / DWDM Engineering Delivers transport connectivity and coordinates shared PoP or site dependencies Network Supply and Procurement Forecasts and sources hardware and services; coordinates provider qualification and commercial processes Data Center Operations and Construction Delivers site access, space, power, cabling, cross-connect, and readiness dependencies Product and customer teams Provides launch dates, demand forecasts, and customer or platform requirements Security Architects Lead IP security and DDoS projects and own security architecture decisions ISPs, peers, exchanges, and cloud providers Deliver transit, peering, interconnection, and related services About Nebius Nebius AI is an AI cloud platform with one of the largest GPU capacities in Europe.

I would map dependencies across site readiness, cross-connects, carrier delivery, hardware, addressing, routing, testing, and operations handover, then assign a clear owner and milestone to each item. I would maintain a critical-path view, review risks regularly, and escalate blockers early. How do you work effectively with network engineers without taking ownership of technical design decisions? I establish clear operating boundaries: engineers and architects own design, configuration, implementation, and technical approval, while I own coordination, delivery visibility, dependency management, and decision tracking. I ask enough technical questions to understand constraints and sequencing, translate those constraints into plans, and ensure decisions and handoffs are documented. What risks would you monitor when onboarding a new transit or peering provider? I would track commercial completion, provider qualification, port and cross-connect availability, lead times, physical demarcation, capacity, technical acceptance criteria, routing-policy requirements, RPKI and IRR readiness, and activation windows. I would also identify fallback connectivity options and confirm escalation paths before the planned service date. How would you prevent capacity constraints from affecting a cloud-platform launch? I would connect demand forecasts and launch schedules to a forward capacity model covering transit, peering, ports, routers, optics, IP addresses, and site dependencies. The plan would include threshold-based triggers, lead-time assumptions, diversity requirements, and contingency options. Regular reviews with product, network engineering, and procurement would allow expansion work to begin before capacity becomes a customer-facing issue. Describe how you would handle a project blocker involving delayed hardware delivery and an immovable launch date. I would quantify the impact on the critical path and validate the technical and operational constraints with the relevant owners. Then I would coordinate mitigation options such as alternate inventory, approved equivalent hardware, allocation changes, phased activation, or a revised deployment sequence. I would document the decision, accountable owners, residual risks, and stakeholder communication plan until the blocker is resolved. Next step ## Apply now.
