Forward Deployed Engineer - Physical AI Cloud Platform

The role

The Forward Deployed Engineer, Cloud Platform is a senior, high-autonomy individual contributor role that owns the infrastructure foundation making the physical AI platform fast, reliable, scalable, secure, and cost-effective. This role sits with strategic customers and ISV partners, embedded directly inside their engineering teams, and ships production infrastructure that lets customers run real physical AI workloads, not just demos. Your job is to make the platform feel like a product, not a collection of cloud scripts.

You will work alongside the Field CTO and the Head of Physical AI, and partner closely with the Physical AI Systems and Platform & Product FDEs. Inside each account, you own end-to-end technical execution: discovery, scoping, infrastructure design, build, and production rollout. Across accounts, you turn repeated infrastructure pain into reusable platform capabilities and partner with Product and Engineering to fold them into the core platform. Your field work is the primary input to the Nebius Physical AI roadmap.

You are welcome to work remotely from the United States (SF Bay Area, CA or Austin, TX preferred).

Your responsibilities will include:

• End-to-End Ownership Inside Strategic Accounts: Own discovery, technical scoping, infrastructure design, build, and production rollout for each design partner and ISV engagement, translating ambiguous infrastructure problems into deployable production systems.
• Cloud Infrastructure & Compute Orchestration: Build and operate the
