Technical Product Manager – WAN & Network Connectivity

The Role

Nebius is looking for a Technical Product Manager – WAN & Network Connectivity to join the team. In this role, the candidate will own the vision, roadmap, and priorities for wide-area and underlay networking products, including interconnects, data center fabric, backbone and WAN transport, cross-region and cross-cloud connectivity, throughput and capacity products, and quality of service (QoS).

The candidate will be responsible for shaping and managing backlogs for the teams building underlay and WAN connectivity, and for leading company-wide initiatives that determine how Nebius regions, data centers, and customers are connected. This role requires strong technical depth combined with the ability to coordinate across engineering, development, product, technical support, and go-to-market teams.

Responsibilities

• Own and manage the product backlog for underlay and WAN connectivity service teams (data center fabric, backbone, interconnects, peering, and transit)
• Lead and coordinate cross-company initiatives for inter-region, inter-data-center, and cross-cloud connectivity, including capacity planning and expansion
• Define product requirements for interconnect and Direct Connect-style products, throughput and bandwidth tiers, QoS and traffic-engineering capabilities, and deliver them with engineering and architecture teams
• Work with network engineering on transport, routing, and traffic-engineering design (backbone capacity, path selection, congestion and QoS guarantees) to translate physical and logical network capabilities into customer-facing products
• Partner with product marketing and technical pre-sales/post-sales teams on technical publications, go-to-market activities, customer engagement, acquisition, and retention related to connectivity products
• Ensure the delivery of WAN and underlay services that meet high standards for throughput, latency, availability, security, and reliability, with clear SLAs

Requirements

• Experience designing, implementing, or operating large-scale WAN, backbone, or service-provider networks in senior engineering, architecture, or technical leadership roles (e.g., large enterprises, hyperscalers, cloud providers, telcos, ISPs, or other advanced technology companies)
• Hands-on familiarity with WAN and underlay technologies such as BGP, MPLS, segment routing (SR/SRv6), L2VPN/L3VPN, EVPN-VXLAN, DWDM/optical transport, traffic engineering, and QoS at scale
• Working knowledge of interconnect and peering models (IXP peering, private interconnects, carrier and transit relationships) and the economics of WAN capacity
• Strong technical expertise in at least two of the following areas:
  • Backbone / WAN transport and capacity planning
  • Routing and traffic engineering (BGP, SR/SRv6, MPLS)
  • ISP or large-scale service-provider networking
