Senior ML Engineer (Token Factory)Verified as a real position
- Posted
Who we’re looking for
- A profound understanding of theoretical foundations of machine learning and transformer architecture.
- Experience profiling GPU workloads using Nsight, PyTorch profiler, or similar tools
- Understanding of GPU memory hierarchy and compute/memory tradeoffs
- Familiarity with important ideas in LLM space, such as MHA, RoPE, KV-cache, Flash Attention, and quantisation
- Understanding of performance aspects of large neural network training (sharding strategies, custom kernels, hardware features etc.)
- Strong software engineering skills (we mostly use Python)
- Deep experience with modern deep learning frameworks
- Proficiency in contemporary software engineering approaches, including CI/CD, version control and unit testing
- Strong communication and leadership abilities
What you’ll do
- Inference Optimization: Identifying LLM inference bottlenecks to drive production speedups. Squeezing the maximum performance for a wide range of LLM architectures at scale (e.g., GPT-OSS, Kimi K2.5, DeepSeek V3.1/V3.2, GLM-5).
- Inference engines support: Implement novel speculative decoding architectures, optimise components of various LLM designs (dense/MoE, autoregressive/parallel), and contribute to open-source inference engines.
- Low Precision Training & Inference: Design and productionise low-precision (FP8, NVFP4/MXFP4) training and inference pipelines with measurable gains in throughput and cost-efficiency.
About the position
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 Token Factory is a part of Nebius Cloud, one of the world's largest GPU clouds, running tens of thousands of GPUs. We are building a high-performance inference and fine-tuning platform designed to push foundation models to their hardware limits. Our mission is to maximize throughput, minimise latency, and optimise cost-per-token across tens of thousands of GPUs.
