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.

About the role

Nebius is entering a strategic, multi-year partnership with Meta that spans infrastructure, capacity delivery, technical integration, commercial execution, and executive-level coordination.
