About The Position
Nebius is seeking a hands-on product leader to shape its platform for the next generation of AI applications, with a focus on agentic infrastructure: the capabilities developers and enterprises need to build, run, and scale systems that reason, use tools, and take action.

The role combines product judgment, technical experimentation, and relationships across the AI ecosystem to influence what Nebius builds and how it works with other platforms and tools. The role spans infrastructure and developer experience for agentic applications. Potential areas include application access to models and tools, context and state management, workload execution, data connections, and reliable production operations. Scope will evolve with customer needs and platform direction. The position requires finding the right problems, developing a clear product thesis, and delivering useful capabilities across this landscape.
