## Description

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.

The Field CTO for Financial Services is a senior technical leadership role at the intersection of production GPU infrastructure and the regulated business of financial services. You will lead the technical side of the vertical: the architecture conversation with CTOs and heads of research infrastructure, the technical content of regulated-buyer diligence, the reference architectures for financial workloads, and the product requirements that come out of the field.

Your responsibilities will include:

- Executive Technical Leadership: Serve as the technical face of Nebius to financial services customers, partners, and ecosystem stakeholders.

- Lighthouse Deal Support: Partner with Sales leadership on strategic financial services deals.

- Regulated-Buyer Diligence: Work with Security, GRC, and Legal to turn our SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications into answers that third-party risk teams accept.

- Architectural Guidance: Define reference architectures for financial workloads.

- Technical Product Strategy: Translate what you learn in accounts into prioritized, evidence-backed requirements for Product, Engineering, and Infrastructure teams.

- Field Enablement: Act as a force multiplier for the sales organization by creating the technical narrative, reference architectures, and training materials.

- Ecosystem & M&A: Partner with ecosystem vendors to identify integration opportunities and evaluate potential technical M&A targets.

- Team Building: Build and lead forward deployed engineers as the vertical grows.

We expect you to have:

- 10+ years of experience in cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, distributed systems, or a closely related technical domain.

- Prior experience in a senior technical leadership role.

- Dual Competency: You can draw a distributed system on a whiteboard for engineers and explain its value and risk profile to a CIO or a Chief Risk Officer.

- GTM Fluency: Experience partnering with Sales to close large enterprise deals.

- Product-Minded Leadership: You have defined requirements from field evidence and shaped platform strategy.

- Mastery of the Stack: Expert-level, production-grade knowledge of GPU architectures, Kubernetes and Slurm orchestration.

- Inference Optimization: You understand the nuances of model serving.

- Financial Services Fluency: First-hand experience in at least one of capital markets and quant research infrastructure.

- Builder Mentality: You arrive with your own point of view on where financial institutions are heading with AI infrastructure.

- Public Technical Voice: Conference talks, writing, or open-source work that shows credibility with engineering and executive audiences.

- Communication: Strong executive presence.

- Comfort in Ambiguity: Experience operating in fast-moving environments.

## Why Nebius:

- Build Solutions: You will shape how financial institutions run AI in production on a specialized AI cloud.

- Scale: Opportunity to help build the Financial Services vertical from the ground up.

- Frontier Technology: Work at the frontier of AI infrastructure.

- Strategic Impact: Real influence over product direction.
