Senior Software Engineer (Agentic Search)

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.

Tavily team is building the infrastructure layer for agentic web interaction at scale. Our API is designed from the ground up to power Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and real-time reasoning in AI systems. By connecting LLMs to high-quality, trustworthy web content, we help developers build agents that are not only intelligent - but also informed.

We work with some of the most innovative teams in AI - from small startups shaping the ecosystem to the largest enterprises deploying AI at scale. Whether it’s powering sales assistants, research copilots, or internal knowledge tools, we’re the missing link between LLMs and the real world.

We're looking for a Software Engineer to join our core engineering team and help build the infrastructure behind one of the fastest-growing AI APIs. You'll work on systems that handle massive scale across a distributed microservices architecture running on AWS. You'll ship fast, take ownership of critical systems, and solve hard infrastructure problems as we grow.

This is a great role for an engineer who loves building ambitious systems from scratch, and wants to tackle the kind of scale and complexity challenges typically reserved for much larger companies.
