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.

We understand the granular details of hardware virtualization and device emulation, paying close attention to performance and protection against untrusted code.
You will work on substantial extensions for the QEMU/KVM virtualization stack in close cooperation with the opensource community.
In this position, your responsibility will be to:

- General understanding of x86-compatible systems (virtual memory, interrupts, privilege rings)
- Experience writing general system code in user mode for Linux, including debugging, analysis, and optimization tools (the emulator is built on the user mode system process for Linux)
It would be an added bonus if you had:
- Aсcepted patches in Linux Kernel or QEMU/KVM
- Experience working with Linux kernel
- Some experience with ARMv8, including virtualization extensions
- Understanding of PCI, SCSI, and ACPI
