Description
We're looking for a Lead Site Reliability Engineer to build and run the fundamental part of Nebius in APAC: the Network, the infrastructure everything else depends on.
You will define reliability targets, write automation and handle incidents yourself, with a high degree of independence from the European teams. As the region grows, you will build and lead the local SRE team.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Defining and owning reliability goals for network services and critical paths in the region (SLIs/SLOs, availability targets, error budgets)
- Driving reliability improvements across the whole APAC network: services, site readiness, inter-site connectivity, and operational standards for new data centers
- Owning incident response, leading investigations/postmortems, and turning failures into durable fixes
- Building and evolving observability: actionable metrics/logs/traces, alerting, and faster debug loops
- Designing safer change workflows: automation, CI/CD, test/staging environments, canarying, rollbacks, and auditability for network changes
- Working closely with network engineers and platform teams in APAC and Europe to embed operability into designs
- Hiring, onboarding, and mentoring the first SREs in the region and setting the engineering bar for the team
- Coordinating with European teams on handoffs and coverage across time zones
We expect you to have:
- 7+ years of experience in SRE / infrastructure engineering, including experience leading a team or acting as a technical lead
- Strong production Linux fundamentals and a structured approach to debugging complex systems
- Solid understanding of networking basics and how real networks fail
- Hands-on experience operating high-availability systems and improving them over time
- Ability to write and maintain software/automation (Go, Python)
- Experience with modern infrastructure tooling (IaC, CI/CD, container platforms) and comfort automating operational workflows
- Ability to work independently in an early-stage environment and build processes and a team from scratch
- Willingness to stay hands-on while leading and growing a team
Benefits & Perks:
- Competitive compensation
- Career growth and learning opportunities
- Flexibility and ownership
- Collaborative and innovative culture
- Opportunity to work on impactful AI projects
- International environment and talented teams
