Senior Machine Learning Engineer, LLM Inference Optimization

<div class="content-intro"><p><strong>About Nebius:</strong></p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p></div><h3><strong><span data-contrast="auto">The role</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></h3> <p>Nebius Token Factory is building fast, reliable, and cost-efficient inference services for frontier models. As a Senior Machine Learning Engineer on our Applied AI team, you will own model and endpoint optimization from model artifacts through production deployment. Your work will span model internals, inference engines, serving architecture, and benchmarking, with a focus on improving latency, throughput, memory efficiency, GPU utilization, and cost per token while maintaining model quality and reliability.<br><br>This is a hands-on role in which you will work on complex optimization projects, diagnose difficult serving problems, and deliver measurable improvements in production. Working closely with kernel and platform engineers, you will evaluate serving configurations, resolve performance and quality regressions, and optimize inference for real-world work
