Verda is building the lead European AI hyperscaler with 100% renewable energy. At Verda, you will build the next generation hyperscaler. We are at a stage where you will have the chance to build foundational services and features that will fuel Verda's future. At your best, you thrive in a growth environment and you are able to take responsibility and deliver projects end to end. You can unblock technical decisions and have experience aligning stakeholders. You enjoy filling in the gaps when there is ambiguity and driving highly technical products.

We’re ambitious, curious, and gutsy doers. We practice a low hierarchy across the company and high morale in our teams. We’ve already achieved a lot, yet we’re only getting started. Now it’s your chance to join the ride. We offer more than just the job - we offer a career-defining opportunity to be part of building something big!

Join Verda while it’s still being built - not once it’s finished.

Your Responsibilities

You'll participate in building the services for our serverless portfolio: managed containers & batch jobs, serverless workloads (PaaS/FaaS), public and internal APIs, queue systems and analytics. You'll work closely with other team members and our SRE teams on resource-provisioning APIs that run on Kubernetes, uphold security standards needed for running customer code safely, and help support customers running production workloads on the platform.

Your Key Requirements

• 2–5 years of backend development experience

• Proficiency with Go, including APIs, concurrency, performance optimization and caching.

• Experience in shipping containerized applications and operating within the Kubernetes ecosystem

• Proficiency in working with SQL databases and designing scalable data models, including familiarity with Go database tooling.

• TDD-based way of working with automated tooling, working with production-like setups rather than mocking with interfaces

Nice to have:

• TypeScript & Node.js ecosystem expertise (NestJS, Express)

• Event-based software architecture experience (with Kafka, NATS or something else)

• Experience from working in a team that creates, ships and maintains their software. We don't throw responsibilities over the fence.

• Experience of ML engineering, and what people working on training and/or inference need.

• Previous cloud-infrastructure experience, not just from using it but by creating services (IaaS, PaaS, etc) that other people use.

Why Verda

• Cash + equity compensation along with various fringe benefits (e.g., healthcare, lunch, wellbeing, etc.).

• Profitable operations with rapid, sustained growth.

• 31 nationalities, with 6 different ones on the management team.

• An opportunity to make a clear impact and work alongside world-class engineers, researchers, and partners across the global AI ecosystem.

Position Details:

• Department: Research & Development

• Location: Helsinki

• Work arrangement: Hybrid (3 days/week on-site)

• Employment type: Full-time, permanent
