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
Nebius is looking for a Technical Product Manager – WAN & Network Connectivity to join the team. In this role, the candidate will own the vision, roadmap, and priorities for wide-area and underlay networking products, including interconnects, data center fabric, backbone and WAN transport, cross-region and cross-cloud connectivity, throughput and capacity products, and quality of service (QoS).
The candidate will be responsible for shaping and managing backlogs for the teams building underlay and WAN connectivity, and for leading company-wide initiatives that determine how Nebius regions, data centers, and customers are connected. This role requires strong technical depth combined with the ability to coordinate across engineering, development, product, technical support, and go-to-market teams.
Responsibilities
Own and manage the product backlog for underlay and WAN connectivity service teams (data center fabric, backbone, interconnects, peering, and transit)
Lead and coordinate cross-company initiatives for inter-region, inter-data-center, and cross-cloud connectivity, including capacity planning and expansion
Define product requirements for interconnect and Direct Connect-style products, throughput and bandwidth tiers, QoS and traffic-engineering capabilities, and deliver them with engineering and architecture teams
Work with network engineering on transport, routing, and traffic-engineering design (backbone capacity, path selection, congestion and QoS guarantees) to translate physical and logical network capabilities into customer-facing products
Partner with product marketing and technical pre-sales/post-sales teams on technical publications, go-to-market activities, customer engagement, acquisition, and retention related to connectivity products
Ensure the delivery of WAN and underlay services that meet high standards for throughput, latency, availability, security, and reliability, with clear SLAs
Requirements
Experience designing, implementing, or operating large-scale WAN, backbone, or service-provider networks in senior engineering, architecture, or technical leadership roles (e.g., large enterprises, hyperscalers, cloud providers, telcos, ISPs, or other advanced technology companies)
Hands-on familiarity with WAN and underlay technologies such as BGP, MPLS, segment routing (SR/SRv6), L2VPN/L3VPN, EVPN-VXLAN, DWDM/optical transport, traffic engineering, and QoS at scale
Working knowledge of interconnect and peering models (IXP peering, private interconnects, carrier and transit relationships) and the economics of WAN capacity
Strong technical expertise in at least two of the following areas:
Backbone / WAN transport and capacity planning
Routing and traffic engineering (BGP, SR/SRv6, MPLS)
ISP or large-scale service-provider networking
Interconnects, peering, and cross-cloud / hybrid connectivity
QoS, congestion management, and SLA design for transport
Proven track record of delivering complex technical initiatives requiring coordination across multiple teams or stakeholders
Technical leadership experience is a strong plus
Product management experience is not required, but a strong willingness to learn and grow into the role is essential
Nice to Have
Experience with high-throughput connectivity for AI/ML and HPC workloads (large east-west and inter-region traffic, RDMA over WAN, lossless transport considerations)
Experience creating technical documentation, guides, or reference architectures for connectivity and transport products
Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate is a technically strong professional with experience in hyperscalers (AWS, GCP, Azure), other public cloud providers, telcos/ISPs, their partners, or highly digitalized enterprises.
The candidate may come from a background in network engineering, transport/backbone architecture, SRE, or technical leadership, with hands-on experience building WAN backbones, service-provider networks, interconnect/peering platforms, or large-scale underlay fabrics. Experience in technical product or platform ownership or technical leadership is highly valued, even if the candidate has not held a formal manager title.
Relevant experience in ML and HPC environments is desirable but not mandatory, as the candidate is expected to adapt quickly and learn new domains.
