📋 Description

• Serve as the external "CTO" face of Nebius to Retail & Commerce AI customers, partners, and ecosystem stakeholders, building trust with executive peers • Partner with Sales leadership to close strategic "company-making" deals by leading architectural workshops and aligning technical roadmaps with customer goals • Translate bespoke customer needs into clear, scalable technical and product requirements for Nebius product, engineering, and infrastructure teams • Act as a force multiplier for the sales organization by creating the technical narrative, reference architectures, and training materials needed to upskill Field SAs and Sellers • Drive alignment across Product, Engineering, Infrastructure, and GTM teams, ensuring the internal roadmap reflects the reality of the market • Provide architectural guidance to help customers maximize value from Nebius services, while identifying the necessary "primitives" required to support end-to-end agentic workflows • Identify recurring customer pain points across agentic commerce, retail process optimization, and data pipelines to surface gaps in existing offerings and influence roadmap decisions • Partner with ecosystem vendors (agentic commerce platforms, product discovery & recommendation engines, price & promotion optimization, POS systems & payment solutions, supply chain management) to identify integration opportunities and evaluate potential technical M&A targets • Maintain structured internal feedback loops to ensure customer learnings are tracked, communicated, and acted upon by R&D
