About the Role
About Nebius:
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 role
Nebius is building the cloud infrastructure that will power the next generation of Physical AI—robotics, autonomous systems, simulation/world models, and embodied intelligence operating in the real world.
The Field CTO for Physical AI & Robotics is a senior technical leadership role responsible for converting raw market demand into a scalable, domain-specific platform. You will own the technical product strategy, ensuring Nebius evolves its capabilities to support the unique demands of Physical AI workloads. Operating at the intersection of deep customer engagement and platform engineering, you will serve as a principal technical partner in strategic opportunities—engaging directly with customer CTOs to map Nebius’ existing capabilities to their immediate needs to help close complex deals. You will not only identify customer challenges but also architect the solution patterns that solve them for the entire market.
This is a definitive "Zero to One" opportunity to define a new category of cloud infrastructure from the ground up.
You’re welcome to work remotely from the Unites States (SF Bay Area, CA & Austin, TX Preferred)
Your responsibilities will include:
- Executive Technical Leadership: Serve as the external "CTO" face of Nebius to Physical AI customers, partners, and ecosystem stakeholders, building trust with executive peers.
- Lighthouse Deal Support: Partner with Sales leadership to close strategic "company-making" deals by leading architectural workshops and aligning technical roadmaps with customer goals.
- Technical Product Strategy: Translate bespoke customer needs into clear, scalable technical and product requirements for Nebius 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 needed to upskill Field SAs and Sellers.
- Cross-Functional Alignment: Drive alignment across Product, Engineering, Infrastructure, and GTM teams, ensuring the internal roadmap reflects the reality of the market.
- Architectural Guidance: Provide architectural guidance to help customers maximize value from Nebius services, while identifying the necessary "primitives" required to support end-to-end robotics workflows.
- Pattern Recognition: Identify recurring customer pain points across robotics, simulation, and data pipelines to surface gaps in existing offerings and influence roadmap decisions.
