About the role

Senior Software Engineer to build and operate the core search application powering Nebius' agentic search platform. You will design, implement, and operate a high-scale, latency-sensitive API that orchestrates retrieval capabilities, ranking components, and downstream services to serve thousands of search requests per second, balancing search quality, latency, reliability, and infrastructure cost.

Responsibilities

  • Design, implement, and operate core backend components of a search orchestration system, spanning online services and background data pipelines
  • Build well-tested services and pipelines with clear responsibilities and interaction contracts, while remaining flexible as the system evolves
  • Define and implement observability primitives, including structured logs, metrics, traces, and quality signals for both online and offline components
  • Support experimentation and iteration by enabling feature flags, controlled rollouts, and online experiments
  • Track throughput, latency, and resource usage across the system, and improve performance or cost efficiency when business needs require it
  • Collaborate closely with ML engineers to integrate search quality improvements to the system, while keeping ML logic decoupled from core system internals
  • Monitor resource usage, bandwidth consumption, and infrastructure cost
  • Work with data analysts and product managers to translate product and quality goals into concrete backend behavior and measurable metrics

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience building product critical backend services
  • Strong Go and Python Experience
  • Experience with large-scale distributed systems (5k+ RPS, billions of events, high-throughput pipelines)
  • Understanding of Information Retrieval flows and pipelines
  • Experience operating production systems and debugging failures in distributed environments
  • Strong understanding of scalability, fault tolerance, and resource management
  • Are interested in either a strong senior IC role or a role with significant technical leadership and ownership.
