__tl;dr: senior/staff SWE, agentic search; relocation to Amsterdam/London/NY or remote __

Want to build cool frontier stuff in a startup quickly, but miss having health insurance, office snacks, and liquid stock options? We've brought you the best of both worlds: a startup within Nebius🧪

The startup is Tavily. Back in the day when ChatGPT couldn't access the internet (i.e., sometime in 2023), it emerged as perhaps the first open-source implementation of deep search. It then grew into a full-fledged information access layer for agents on the internet — with its own web index and ranking, optimized not for humans, but for AI. In two years, Tavily has garnered millions of users, become the de facto search engine in LangChain, raised $25M, and recently — joined Nebius ❤️

You already know about Nebius. It's an Amsterdam-based AI cloud providing GPU infrastructure to companies. It has the engineering heritage of Yandex, $2B in investments from NVIDIA, and clients like Meta, Microsoft, and Cursor.

Now, to become the top-1 agentic search, they have almost everything. They just need a few more awesome** senior / staff engineers:** ⚙️ those who build the runtime part — accepting requests, retrieving, ranking, and delivering documents under strict latency and throughput requirements; 📁 those responsible for indexing — building the index itself, calculating features for ranking, and handling storage formats; 📍 those who know how to crawl the entire internet and process data in real-time.

Therefore, if you have experience building: ⭕ highly loaded, low-latency systems (e.g., DBMS, query engines, storage, HFT infrastructure); ⭕ or recommendation systems and ad engines; ⭕ or web crawlers; ⭕ or large offline data pipelines (search engines, social networks, marketplaces; Spark, MapReduce, and all that); ⭕ or datasets for LLM pre-training, or online data pipelines (Apache Beam, Kafka, Flink); ⭕ or have done something else that you believe is relevant — write to us! If you're unsure, write anyway, and we'll figure it out together.

All roles require a minimum of 5 years of experience (preferably more) with C++, Rust, and/or Golang and a willingness to get hands-on.

You can relocate to Amsterdam, London, NY, or Tel Aviv; if you are exceptionally good and located elsewhere in Europe or the US, remote work can sometimes be discussed.
