Developer Experience Engineer
Imagine a future where developers can build, test, and ship without friction, where infrastructure accelerates innovation instead of slowing it down.
At Verda, we’re building a fully featured European cloud computing platform - and a key part of that is creating an exceptional developer experience on top of powerful infrastructure.
We’re ambitious, curious, and pragmatic builders. We operate with low hierarchy, high ownership, and a strong bias for action. We’ve already achieved a lot, but we’re just getting started.
Now it’s your chance to join the ride. Join Verda while it’s still being built - not once it’s finished!
Your responsibilities
You will own and evolve the developer experience at Verda end-to-end - designing, building, and improving the tools, workflows, and platforms that our engineers rely on every day.
This includes shaping our CI/CD pipelines, developers’ onboarding experience, infrastructure as code practices, and development environments to reduce friction and improve iteration speed. You will work across Kubernetes-based infrastructure, internal tooling, and developer workflows to ensure a consistent and scalable experience.
You will approach this role with a product mindset - treating developers as your customers. You’ll identify pain points, test solutions, iterate based on feedback, and continuously improve the experience.
From research and prototyping to implementation, rollout, and long-term support, you will own initiatives end-to-end. You will also help drive architectural decisions, simplify complexity, and ensure our tooling and infrastructure remain cohesive as we scale.
Your key competencies
Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes and cloud-native environments
Experience with CI/CD systems (e.g., Argo, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD)
Experience with infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform, Ansible, or similar)
Familiarity with modern development environments (e.g., Tilt, DevSpace, or similar)
Strong understanding of developer workflows and tooling ecosystems
Ability to design and improve systems end-to-end with a pragmatic, scalable approach
Product mindset with focus on user experience, iteration, and impact
Highly hands-on and results-oriented, with strong ownership
Comfortable challenging ideas, navigating trade-offs, and driving decisions collaboratively
Comfortable improving existing systems rather than building from scratch
Clear communicator who adapts based on feedback
What you’ll help us achieve
A unified and coherent infrastructure and tooling stack—avoiding fragmentation and unnecessary complexity
Simpler systems with fewer layers and clearer guidelines
Reduced developer toil and faster iteration cycles
Foundations for AI-ready development workflows and infrastructure
