Technical Program Manager - IP Backbone

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 IP Backbone TPM coordinates the planning and delivery of Nebius’s global IP backbone and Internet edge. The role connects data center launches, customer and platform demand, IP architecture, network engineering, procurement, and external providers so that sites have the routing, transit, peering, hardware, and address resources needed for service readiness and growth.

The TPM is accountable for end-to-end project coordination: defining scope with technical owners, building integrated plans, tracking dependencies and risks, driving decisions to closure, and confirming handover. Network Architecture and Engineering own technical standards and design decisions; engineers lead implementation. The TPM keeps those work streams aligned and ensures the required outcomes are delivered.

In summer 2026, we introduced the concept of regions to remove dependence on the Amsterdam HQ and speed decision making. The regional change applies to procurement, logistics, and IT datacenter operations. Network infrastructure remains an HQ function because its architecture and design affect all sites.

Please note that Nebius is in a state of rapid growth. Due to this, the scope and responsibilities of the role will constantly evolve based on business and team needs.

Coordinate IP connectivity due diligence for new data center and PoP locations.

Confirm the planned site role in the backbone and the required connectivity to regional and Super PoPs.

Track site dependencies such as rack space, power, security, cross-connects, cabling, hardware delivery, and carrier access.

Coordinate PoP build plans with IP Engineering, Layer 1 Planning, Data Center Operations,, Security, and Procurement.

Identify the boundary between IP and Layer 1 work early, including transport handoffs, demarcation points, and ownership of cross-connects.

Confirm that IP equipment and provider services are ready for installation, testing, and operational handover.

Coordinate plans for IP transit, peering, private interconnects, and backbone connectivity in line with the global network strategy.

Track provider requirements, site availability, port capacity, cross-connects, delivery dates, commercial terms, and technical acceptance criteria.

Work with Procurement and network architects to gather and review ISP information using the provider qualification checklist. Use the completed assessment and architect input to support provider selection and record the decision and any conditions.

Plan connectivity for new data center launches, including the required paths from the front-end fabric to the Nebius backbone, transit providers, cloud on-ramps, and peering locations as applicable.

Maintain an integrated view of circuit, port, router, optics, and cross-connect dependencies so that a delivered service can be activated end to end.

Coordinate capacity growth and diverse connectivity plans before demand or a new launch creates a service constraint.

Coordinate the lifecycle and accurate records for Nebius IPv4 and IPv6 address allocations, assignments, and utilization.

Maintain an operational view of ASN use and dependencies across regions, PoPs, transit providers, peers, and customer-facing services.

Coordinate the creation, review, and maintenance of AS-SETs, route objects, and ROAs with the responsible technical owners and relevant registries.

Track RPKI and IRR readiness as part of provider onboarding, routing changes, and new-site launches.

Coordinate remediation of resource or routing-security issues with Network Engineering and external providers.

Maintain a forward-looking view of IP backbone hardware demand…
