About The Position

Nebius is seeking a Technical Due Diligence Manager to join the Infrastructure Acquisition Group. This role will evaluate the technical feasibility of AI infrastructure opportunities across the Americas before Nebius commits capital. The manager will lead multidisciplinary engineering due diligence for powered land and build-to-suit developments, partnering with various teams to identify technical risk, assess development feasibility, and support investment decisions. This is a build-phase role where the individual will help establish standards, playbooks, consultant networks, and technical review processes. The ideal candidate will independently lead complex technical due diligence programs and help build scalable systems for future evaluations.
