Senior Embedded Software Engineer

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 We are looking for an Embedded Software Developer to design and implement the firmware and low-level software that powers our next-generation GPU and HPC platforms. This role will focus on embedded control, board management, telemetry, and hardware-firmware integration, ensuring that our systems operate reliably in high-density, mission-critical environments.

Key Responsibilities • Design and implement embedded firmware for server management, telemetry, and control systems. • Maintain and enhance our custom OpenBMC firmware with new features and improvements • Enable real-time monitoring of power, thermal sensors, and hardware health. • Work closely with hardware engineers to validate firmware for existing and future platforms • Debug and optimize low-level drivers and protocols. • Contribute to long-term firmware architecture for GPU cluster reliability.

Required Skills & Qualifications: • 5+ years in embedded systems or firmware development. • Proficiency in embedded Linux. • Hands-on experience with BMCs, microcontrollers, or SoC firmware. • Understanding of hardware bring-up and debugging • Languages: C, C++, Bash, Go, YAML • Firmware: OpenBMC, U-Boot, Linux Kernel • Interfaces: I2C, I3C, SPI, eSPI, UART, LPC • Protocols: SMBus, PCIe, PMBus, PECI • Build Systems: Meson, CMake • Descriptors & Formats: FRU, SMBIOS, ACPI, DMI

Preferred: • Knowledge of the Yocto Project principles • Knowledge of systems and D-Bus principles • Proficiency in C++ • Good knowledge of C, sufficient for periodic work with Linux drivers and the U-Boot bootloader; • Experience in developing Linux drivers of any kind, especially those implementing sysfs and hwmon interfaces. • Experience with server BMC firmware IPMI, IPMB, KCS, SSIF, Redfish, PLDM • Knowledge of GPU/CPU telemetry frameworks (e.g., NVML, DCGM) • Exposure to firmware security (Secure Boot, signed firmware) • Experience with RAS (Reliability, Availability, Serviceability) • Background in high-performance computing or data center hardware.
