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 team The Hardware Automation team builds the internal platforms and tooling that power how Nebius operates its data center infrastructure at scale. Our mission is to eliminate manual effort, reduce human error, and give every team in the Hardware Infrastructure department real-time visibility and control over the systems they own.

Requirements

and hand them off.

gathering with data center operations and hardware engineering, through design and build, all the way to rollout and ongoing reliability. The role We are looking for a Technical Project Manager to drive the programs that turn manual hardware operations into automated, scalable workflows. You will own the delivery of automation initiatives across the full hardware lifecycle — from automated server provisioning and firmware update orchestration through intelligent fault detection, self-healing remediation, and data-centre-scale operational tooling — coordinating engineers, operations teams, and infrastructure stakeholders to ship systems that meaningfully reduce human toil at fleet scale.

Responsibilities

Initiating and driving cross-team projects with clear goals and timelines Aligning conflicting priorities and stakeholder needs, including C-level Facilitating technical and procedural decision-making Establishing and scaling repeatable processes Collaborating closely with engineering, infrastructure, and business teams The profile : Engineering Manager wanting to move from vertical to horizontal impact, from team to org level, designing and carrying a unified roadmap and strategy across multiple engineering teams. In this case, we are talking about 6 teams for more than 30 engineers. Technical Project/Program Manager with an Engineering Management background.

Strong operational risk awareness: track record of structuring staged rollouts, defining rollback criteria, and insisting on safety gates before automation runs unsupervised on production infrastructure. Experience coordinating across engineering and operations stakeholders with different risk tolerances — bridging teams that move fast and teams that prioritise stability without letting that tension stall delivery.

Nice To Have

Experience with specific hardware automation domains: zero-touch provisioning, firmware orchestration, automated hardware testing frameworks, or self-healing remediation systems. Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code and configuration management tooling (Terraform, Ansible, Kubernetes) from a delivery and rollout management perspective. Exposure to data centre operations — rack and stack, cabling, power and cooling management — sufficient to understand what automation means to a technician on the floor.

Experience with site reliability engineering (SRE) practices: toil measurement, error budgets, and the discipline of treating operational automation as a first-class engineering investment. Knowledge of observability platforms (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, or equivalent) used to monitor automation system health and measure operational outcomes.
