What success looks like in 12 months • Nebius has a clear, executed database strategy for OLTP + vector + in-memory workloads in AI applications. • Customers are running production agentic/AI apps with strong reliability and predictable latency on Nebius. • Core quality metrics improve materially (p95/p99 latency, availability, failover recovery time, and cost-efficiency). • Database adoption and retention grow through developer-friendly product experiences and strong workload fit. Your responsibilities will include: • Define and own the product vision and roadmap for OLTP, vector, and in-memory database capabilities. • Turn customer and market input into clear product specs, priorities, and delivery plans. • Lead cross-functional execution with Engineering, SRE, Security, Solution Architecture, and GTM teams. • Drive critical capabilities including replication, failover, indexing, backup/recovery, observability, and scaling. • Shape AI-specific data patterns such as hybrid retrieval, low-latency memory access, and workload isolation. • Use product and operational metrics to guide decisions and continuous improvement. • Track ecosystem and competitor trends to keep Nebius differentiated in AI-native data infrastructure. We expect you to have: • Track record of owning and shipping technical platform products with measurable business and user impact. • Strong practical understanding of OLTP systems, vector retrieval systems, and in-memory data stores. • Ability to reason clearly about trade-offs across consistency, latency, throughput, durability, reliability, and cost. • Experience working deeply with engineering teams building distributed, high-availability systems. • Strong product judgment under ambiguity, and the ability to make high-quality prioritization decisions. • Excellent communication and stakeholder leadership across technical and non-technical audiences. It will be an added bonus if you have: • Experience with AI/LLM application architecture, RAG pipelines, and agent frameworks. • Experience building or scaling managed database services in cloud environments. • Background in software engineering, distributed systems, data infrastructure, or site reliability engineering. • Experience with enterprise and developer-facing products in fast-moving B2B environments. Who thrives in this role • You like high ownership and high technical depth. • You are comfortable making decisions with imperfect information. • You care about shipping real outcomes, not writing roadmaps that never execute. • You enjoy working across product, engineering, and go-to-market to deliver end-to-end impact.
