Build and scale faster on the purpose-built AI cloud, engineered from silicon to API. Backed by Accel.
About the role
Nebius Token Factory needs scientists who can turn frontier inference bottlenecks into research problems, publish credible work, and then help ship the results into production. This is not a papers-only research role. The Applied Scientist is expected to design rigorous experiments, write strong code, collaborate with engineers, and convert research into deployed inference capabilities.
What they're looking for
- PhD in computer science, machine learning, ML systems, computer systems, computer architecture, electrical engineering, applied math, or a closely related field
- Strong publication record or equivalent research artifacts in ML, ML systems, efficient inference, model compression, quantization, distillation, serving systems, or related areas
- Strong hands-on coding ability in Python and PyTorch, ability to move from idea to experiment to prototype quickly
- Deep understanding of LLMs, VLMs, transformer inference, decoding algorithms, model compression, quantization, and production-serving tradeoffs
- Strong experimental design skills, including ablations, baselines, metrics, statistical reasoning, and failure analysis
- Excellent written and verbal communication
More about this role
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.
